There have been some really good albums so far this year (I've spent time with Band of Horses, Beach House, the Minders, the Rave-Ups, Mild Orange, Elvis Costello, Jazz Butcher, etc.). But finally we get a really great one. And yeah, it's a ringer, from the always reliable Superchunk. But not a lot of bands pull off such a winner this deep into their career. Sure, a few great bands keep making solid records for decades (R.E.M., Wilco, Yo La Tengo), but in most cases I don't find myself returning...
