SNOOTY PRESENTS: THE 20 BEST ALBUMS OF 2009 (#7 & #8)
"As a team, the debut album feels like 40 minutes of surmounting sexual tension that really never reaches climax. Which is cool cause the album isn't meant to be some sort of pop-culture slutfest." - #7
"The debut brings together four musicians to create a sound that takes you back to the good-ol playground days. I wanna turn on early episodes of Saved by the Bell when listening to Psychic Chasms and although it's only #8 on the Top 20, there wasn't much competition for undoubtedly the #1 happiest album of the year." - #8

"I haven't bumped the record lately because I think I maxed out my Itunes purchase after playing the album a record 65272 times. But writing this review has forced me to indulge and remind me why it would be a crime not to include it in the Snooty top 11. " - #11
"Note to reader: Although some band members have longer hair and dress in questionably unisex clothing, band members are all in fact men" - #12

"You wouldn't wanna miss 8 or so episodes of Dan Auerbach getting high and drunk with some of hip-hop's finest" -#13
"...put together by talented musicians not just some American Apparel punks relying on voice distortion, synthesized beats, and a heavily drugged audience to cover up their lack of talent"

" [They] are basically the modern day Johnny Cash and Junebug. And their hybrid rock, country, folk-inspired sound comes together with harmonic brilliance that personally, I think will last a long long time." - #16
"... we here at Snooty have been bumping it since we heard their first single 'Quiet Little Voices' and since then, we have consistently formed a strong one-man moshpit to properly celebrate the greatness of the song." - #15
