Nick,

My predictions are essential the same as yours, but re-arranged.

  1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
  2. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
  3. The Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
  4. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
  5. Beach House - Teen Dream
  6. LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
  7. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
  8. Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me
  9. Owen Pallet - Heartland
  10. Sleigh Bells - Treats

But I’d also say that Robyn and Big Boi are likely 11 and 12. (This sort of looks like the average of our best albums list.)
