It's a judgment call, though. It's when "a little off the norm" is the _only requirement_ for something to be described as "worth buying" or "on my top-10 of the year for sure" that the hype shines through as someone talking about an object to be owned and displayed on a mantle/year-end email. A lot of times these are the releases that generate the most controversy on the list: since nobody describes Kid606's music in a meaningful way, the only way to talk about him are these sidetracks into arguments about the color scheme of the vinyl record (for instance).
