Title: Smile Sessions (likely) on Pitchfork's "Top 50 Albums" Post by: Aegir on December 13, 2011, 05:08:04 AM Though their list hasn't been released yet (coming December 15th), the preview graphic on their website has a pair of lips that looks a lot like they're from the Smile album cover.

I wonder how much of an effect it's having on the sales. Obviously, all of the hardcore types bought it right away, but how many new listeners were enticed to check it out as a result of the good reviews? Hopefully, holiday sales will help to give it another bump.

It had to do with the fact that it was a "re-issue" or whatever, because it was one of the very few tens given out the entire year. So there's no need to be upset...though I didn't see that graphic art.

Title: PopMatters Post by: WaxOn on December 17, 2011, 02:21:54 PM Finally acknowledged it and gave it a 10
