Personally I think Alt-J have been massively overhyped and overrated. I think there were far more deserving winners on that list.

Pitchfork review: the be all and end all. FACT.

I do agree with you though, I think it should have gone to 2 or 3 of the other artists, that being said, I'm not totally upset with the result as I do love the album.
