James' Albums of the Decade

[-james-]

Shocked to see your number 1. I knew you liked Divers but I had no idea you appreciated that album so much. What a masterpiece.

I wanted to do one album per artist for this list. Divers is good but HOoM is on another plane, I think. Spent the decade rinsing it and I'm still pretty obsessed.

Joanna Newsom sounds like what would happen if you filled a choir full of dying goats.

I can understand her vocals on Milk Eyed Mender driving people away (I still cringe ever so slightly at Peach, Plum Pear), maybe on Ys too. I don't think there's any of that on the most recent two, is there? Maybe I've grown desensitized.
