Biggest disappointments
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away - it had 3 great songs, but I never seem to like their albums in their entireity.
Bloc Party - Weekend in the City - can you say sophmore slump?
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden.... - I think I'm just tired of instrumental rock.
Stars - In Our Bedroom... - check out their last album, not this one.
The New Pornographers - Challengers (see The Shins above)
Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight - Jenny Lewis is an incredible songwriter, but as usual I only like about 3 songs on each record.
