Frank is right about him sending me an earlier version of the Robyn album three years ago (as I remembered as soon as I left the house this morning, after I'd typed that comment above.) I didn't listen to it much then, though. And when it came in the mail early this year, it still *seemed* current. And *other* U.S. critics no doubt heard it for the first time this year. (Bottom line is, if you like something enough, and listen to it enough, you're perfectly justified in using whatever excuse you can to consider it current enough for your top ten, if you want it to be there.) (I didn't think Robyn was good enough, though I did like it. If I'd liked it more, I would have had no qualms voting for it, despite Frank's old CD burn version.)
