It's funny how all the critics praised the hell out of Fishscale and didn't really jump on Game Theory. Almost all the best of 06 lists had Fishscale but no GT - it makes me wary of (non-hip hop) critics and their reliance on 'image' and perception rather than the album itself... and this is coming from a huge ghost fan.

Fishcale was a scattered album with moments of brilliance, GT was just brilliant all the way through. But ghost has that image of quirky street character that is very easy to latch onto in a review...
