Regarding My Morning Jacket & Death Cab For Cutie.. their latest' sound very good. My top pick right now for "best rock album" is DCFC. The differences in them as I see it, for sonics are:
MMJ = an overall feeling that this is an album that gets it's sound from studio trickery, IE: mixing, isolating individual people/instruments then adjusting accordingly, it's inconsistent.
DCFC = a very consistent sound that I find to be at least a half a notch or more above and beyond the MMJ. It sounds much, much more like I think it would sound live. Isn't this suppose to be the test?
