How can one rate SBS as one of the best of the 2000's. It has not even been released yet, most of us first heard the complete finished version only a few weeks ago. To qualify as an album of the decade one must keep on going back to that album month after month year after year, ala London Calling etc. SBS may turn out to be an album of the decade, but any talk of this now is just plain shortsighted and biased.
