Dirty > Phoenix > AnCo > YYYs > Grizzly― mike t-diva, Monday, February 1, 2010 11:36 PM (twelve years ago)
I've listened to them all again. Now it's:
YYYs >> Grizzly > Dirty >> AnCo > Phoenix
YYYs is the only one that still gives pleasure. Grizzly starts promisingly, doesn't keep it up, but remains listenable. The vocals on the remaining three annoy me a lot, for broadly similar reasons. AnCo and especially Phoenix were a struggle to get through. (NB I bought four of them on CD at the time, and was sent another as a promo (gratefully received) so there must have been a time when I liked all of them.)

"Heads Will Roll" and "Zero" are by far the best thing to come out of 2009 GAPDY, though as a whole album I do think that Bitte Orca has held up the best.

“Can someone please make a video essay on whatever the hell was going on here”
The Twitter user @jackanfer, who is presumably under the age of 30, posed this question atop a list of seven critically acclaimed albums from 2009. The first five – Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca, Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ It’s Blitz!, and Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest – were such common fixtures in year-end top-tens that they inspired an acronym of “GADPY” as a deeply online shorthand for indie rock hegemony. This post soon became the main character on Twitter for the next few days because people chose not to take the original question as rhetorical.
