Pitchfork recently released their picks for “Best Albums of ’09″, and it made me wonder if something is wrong with me and my ears. 50 albums…really? I listened to most of the albums on their list, and while I agree with some, a majority of these albums are just average as far as total quality goes (the album from start to finish).
