| Lakes' 2010 So Far List
And here I present to you my 5 favorite albums of 2010 so far... critique and rec because with youtube at my disposal this list is bound to change soon. | | 1 |  | The National
High Violet
After six listens I still see no reason to rate this under a 5; the only flaws I can really find with it are Lemonworld and Runaway just for being a little too repetitive, but even those two are amazing. High Violet could easily make my top 10 albums of all time list and come December there is little doubt in my mind that it will still be my album of the year. | | 2 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt
I've only listened to it all the way through three times, and while The Wild Hunt still has a lot of time to grow on me it already has so much. Bumped to a 4.5. | | 3 |  | Menomena
Mines
Rec'd as a response to this list - THANK YOU. This is amazing stuff here, and I can only see it growing on me with time. Rivals the National and The Tallest Man on Earth for AOTY contender for me. | | 4 |  | House of Heroes
Suburba
Though bound to be overlooked on Sputnik, Suburba is the perfect summer album. With songs for just about any mood, plus a good dose of diversity and excellent musicianship, you're missing out on a lot if you pass this one by. | | 5 |  | Arcade Fire
The Suburbs
As with The Wild Hunt, I haven't had much time to digest this one but first impressions are spectacular. They seemed to have upped their game considerably from Neon Bible and added more variety and spunk. Sounds a little too 80s at times, but The Suburbs is just too hard to resist. Musically and lyrically, it's a brilliant album. | |

07.30.10 | 5 isn't Top 5 worthy imo
1 is amazing | Winsomniac
07.30.10 | Do recs have to be 2010?
If not, I rec everyone As Cities Burn out of courtesy, and try Lydia - Illuminate. I found out about it late and have been obsessing over it lately.
Will check out Living Sacrifice to rec some heavy. | FruityCatOfDoom
