stopping to digest
I've given most of yesterday's binge a listen-through, and I've divided them into rough categories, all of which are fairly self-explanatory.
[Updated: Monday, May 10] listened to the other stuff, added a new category:

Affection:

British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica (not the rerelease)
Les Savy Fav - Inches
Will Probably Grow On Me:
The Walkmen - Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone
