Best albums of 2011
Whenever people say this year/decade's music sucked, I think either they don't listen to that much music, or their standards have risen too high for enjoyment.
Let's talk about last year's albums. My list weighs heavily toward genres I prefer, which shows I'm missing out on a lot. There are albums lower down the list that I listen to much more than ones higher; in this sense, it's a little less subjective. EPs are included.
- Bon Iver – Bon Iver, Bon Iver
- Wild Beasts – Smother
- The Rural Alberta Advantage – Departing
- 65daysofstatic – Silent Running
- Parts & Labor – Constant Future
- The Mountain Goats – All Eternals Deck
- Tim Hecker – Ravedeath, 1972
- Does It Offend You, Yeah? – Don't Say We Didn't Warn You
- …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Tao of the Dead
- PJ Harvey – Let England Shake
- Destroyer – Kaputt
- Future Islands – On the Water
- Explosions in the Sky – Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
- Skinny Puppy – HanDover
- Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
- Mogwai – Earth Division
- of Montreal – thecontrollersphere
- Steven Wilson – Grace for Drowning
- St. Vincent – Strange Mercy
- Handsome Furs – Sound Kapital
- Fucked Up – David Comes to Life
- Justice – Audio, Video, Disco
- Nils Frahm – Felt
- The Antlers – Burst Apart
Usually people list only their favourites, but then you have no idea what those are relative to, and you have to ask whether they've heard such and such. Here are the albums I found mediocre to poor:
