| Post subject: | Your Top 5 Favorite Albums of 2011 |
I think we did this thread last year and it went over pretty well. I don't think there are any major record releases the next few weeks so thought it was fair to put this little poll out there now before the holidays. It was a pretty decent year for music so let's hear what you liked. For me it goes as follows and since I can't limit myself to just 5 I'll include a few honorable mentions. 1. The Head and The Heart -- self titled 2. Bon Iver -- Bon Iver, Bon Iver 3. Fleet Foxes -- Helplessness Blues 4. My Morning Jacket -- Circuital 5. Amos Lee -- Mission Bell Honorable Mentions Adele -- 21 Cold War Kids -- Mine Is Yours Foster The People -- Torches Wild Flag -- self titled Wilco -- The Whole Love Radiohead -- The King of Limbs |

Mystery Palace - Nervio (can be d/l for free on soundcloud) Rob Kleiner and the Satanics - Self Titled (I freaking love these guys...my buddy Rob from Tub Ring.) Crossess - Self Titled (Chino from Deftones singing. also free...somewhere.) Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You (Just a good rock record) Incubus - If Not Now, When? (One of the surprises of 2011) Between the Buried and Me - The Parrallax Hypersleep Dialogues. (It's ridiculous math metal. there's three songs and the album is 30 minutes long). Honorable Mentions: Foo Fighters - Wasting Light (also a good rock record) Primus - Green Naugahyde (nice and weird like the old stuff) Puscifer - Conditions of My Parole (Maynard from Tool!) Mastodon - The Hunter (Need to digest this one more) Radiohead - The King of Limbs (I listened a lot in early 2011 and in the summer...not much since) Lupe Fiasco - Lasers (I liked it...kinda "dance club-ey" but, still cool) Janes Addiction - The great escape artist. (they're back....) Elbow - Build a Rocket Boys (sad British songs...their first album "asleep in the back" is brilliant. highly recommend these guys.) I can't wait for the new lamb of god album. january 2012 |

Good times. |

anything that is in 13/8th i tend to describe as "math metal." I'm sure Imu would label it "post-aggressive geometry alt-rock" |

It's hard I only bought 5 albums this year (well after looking at ths thread 6) and only had 2 favorites... Despite the greatness that is Rocks in the Box, The King is Dead didn't do much for me. Pete Yorn dropped an early year dud after 5 straight great albums. And I'm still trying figure out what the fuck Matt & Kim is... and then there were 2. |

I would nominate Angles by The Strokes for most disappointing album of the year. What a huge letdown after such a long hiatus. |
