Regarding the video... what's Kanye SO blown away by? It is a good vid, but nothing outrageously special (nice to see Andy Serkis is still working;)... I was disappointed.
Regarding the CB new best-of... pointless (espeically that 2nd disc!)... everyone should own the orig albums... or the best-of from 03 if you're a "singles-minded" person.

It's too bad Protest the Hero got knocked off the list... they put out one of the best albums of the year (isn't that what everybody says about their own thang?!?) & they're SO young w/ SO much talent... + it would have been fantastic exposure for them (let's just hope the Metal Gods are watching over them). I'm guessing the prize will go to Caribou... he also made a really great album. As for the Stars... they're lame & should have been left in the top 40.

It is a bummer to me that no one mentions that a) PJ having AFreley come out on stage is a bit of a FooF/JPage&JPJones thang which happened recently PLUS b) the Replacements (God bless 'em!) did the best version of Black Diamond... and btw McCready's singing in the intro is BRUTAL! Just go buy Let It Be (& w/o the new "bonus" crap!) & TURN IT UP!!!

Premature Evaluation: The Killers - Day & Age
