Irving: Irving's Top 25 Albums Of 2011

Irving 01.03.12	YEAAAAAYYYYYY 100% ALBUM ART!!!!
MO 01.03.12	nice list, 18 has made alot of lists
Metalstyles 01.03.12	Nice list (at least I hope so, since I've heard about 5% of what's being featured here haha)! Just felt like commenting on an Irving list for a change.
Sowing 01.03.12	I know we've grown apart because I had no idea you even liked bon iver
robertsona 01.03.12	man that lulu shit
Deviant. 01.03.12	Okay, let's not be gay in this thread I'll feature this list just as soon as the other ones have had a little more time on the board
someguest 01.03.12	Awesome list Irving. 9 is such a personal record.
Irving 01.03.12	Thanks MetallicOpeth and Styles! And LOL an Irving list is like, really rare - they've only been nine of them in the past fifteen months!! XD And Sowing, that may be true (sadface), but really, all that truly matters is that you know how I feel about you =)
Irving 01.03.12	"Okay, let's not be gay in this thread" Btw I LOVE YOU DEV.
Electric City 01.03.12	haha lulu funny shit
Irving 01.03.12	"haha lulu funny shit" =(
Jethro42 01.03.12	I lost my top albums list because of the recent slowness of the site. Fuck it. 22, 21, 17, 14, 6 were found in mine too.
pizzamachine 01.03.12	Good list except 4 and 7. :)
FictionalFlames 01.03.12	7????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Sowing 01.03.12	psh I was going to feature the list but I guess Dev can. I am of no use to you anymore, baby.
Deviant. 01.03.12	Well feature it if you want, I've just noticed that over the last week or so lists have been featured for like 5 minutes before they're replaced. This could do with one, I just wanted to give the others a little more time first etc
iFghtffyrdmns 01.03.12	needs more punk rawk other than that, not bad.
Irving 01.03.12	Letting the others sit for a few days sounds like a good idea Dev. And SS we need to rekindle our relationship. "needs more punk rawk" I concur. However I'm pretty bad with finding good punk rock bands and as a result few of them tend to make my Best of lists. Do come around and rec me some in the coming year, won't you? =)
Sowing 01.03.12	haha idc dev i was just joking, whatever works
Electric City 01.03.12	featured
Deviant. 01.03.12	Downer's dumb
Sowing 01.03.12	yeah fuck that fellow
Irving 01.03.12	Eh wtf.
Electric City 01.03.12	STAFF WILDCARD
Irving 01.03.12	[insert teenage sex joke here]
Chrisjon89 01.03.12	Love you for 6.
AggravatedYeti 01.03.12	lol wtf 7
Irving 01.03.12	Yeah I've received lots of stick for liking that album since it was released a couple of months ago.
AggravatedYeti 01.03.12	I'm honestly not too caught up on it. list is pretty great otherwise ; )
clercqie 01.03.12	Cool stuff, Irv!
Irving 01.03.12	Thanks Clerqie! Do you have your own Best of 2011 list hanging around somewhere? And if yes, can I take a gander at it? =)
Tyrael 01.03.12	Duuuuude Armistice and you didn't check out Coeur de Pirate either, did you I'm butthurt
clercqie 01.03.12	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=512687&listid=89843 I made one a while back ;) I bookmarked this one, it'll serve as a nice reminder for stuff I missed: St. Vincent, Feist, Tim Hecker, Girls and Washed Out seem worthwhile :)
Irving 01.03.12	Awww, Ty =( I didn't include Armistice because it's an EP (this is a list for full albums) - and since I didn't listen to lots of those things (EPs) last year, I decided against making a list about them. That being said The Dear Hunter own like 7/10 slots on my Top 10 EPs list anyway lol.
Irving 01.03.12	And as for Coeur de Pirate, guilty as charged. I've just been soo busy with my new job Ty =( I hardly even review anymore too. (although I may have made up for that with my seven or eight MASSIVE pieces for the Users End of Year list).
Tyrael 01.03.12	Hmmmpf fine You're excused then
Irving 01.03.12	Sorry Ty =( Hope all is well with you over there. (Happy New Year, btw!)
Tyrael 01.03.12	I bet the staff's best of 2011 is gonna look exactly like this 2011 great year for indie herpderp
Tyrael 01.03.12	But yeah all is well, happy new year to you too
Days of Future Passed 01.03.12	Pretty interesting list. Glad to see Finest Hour so high.
ITsHxCTOASTER 01.03.12	Whoa 14 and 13 look the same right beside each other
AsoTamaki 01.03.12	2, 6 and 7 are very deserving of being in a top ten list. Nice job.
Irving 01.04.12	Thanks guys! Also - "so painfully generic" Hey guess what RiffOClock? I don't give a shit.
Sowing 01.04.12	^I can feel the hatred flowing in your veins, join the dark side! It's the only path to the evil empi---I mean..."staff"
Irving 01.04.12	Haha. But yeah, I think that if people have nothing positive/constructive to say then they shouldn't say anything. All it takes us some civility.
AtavanHalen 01.04.12	the table
Irving 01.04.12	WORSHIP.
Sowing 01.04.12	22 is so bad though, and I mean that in the most positive/constructive way possible I rated it a 2 but I should 1 it on principal
Jethro42 01.04.12	Have you even heard Camel
Irving 01.04.12	Hahah, touche Sowing. Anyways, I actually thought Heritage was okay BUT one does have to keep in mind that I've never listened to any of Opeth's other albums before. It could be another The King is Dead for me for all we know (I initially rated TKiD a 4, but after listening to The Crane Wife I realized how much of a downgrade it really was for The Decemberists and immediately sent it down to a mere 3). What is this Camel you speak of Monsieur Quarante-deux?
00mee 01.04.12	Good to see 9 here, haven't seen it on too many lists
Jethro42 01.04.12	C'est élémentaire, mon ami; You have to ignore the famous prog band Camel to actually hate Opeth. Especially Heritage.
Jethro42 01.04.12	In short, ''Have you even heard Camel'' is the reply profusely used by the sputnik progheads toward the Heritage haters.
Irving 01.04.12	So, Jethro, have you even heard Camel?
Jethro42 01.04.12	Like any self-respecting proghead yea.
Aids 01.05.12	Lulu being higher on a list than Sit Resist makes me want to masturbate into your soup. but we're bros so whatever. HI IRVING HOWS IT GOING LONG TIME NO CHAT.
Irving 01.05.12	HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry Aids, but I just felt Lulu more than I did Laura Stevenson's cans (sexual connotations fully intended). I'M DOING GREAT THANKS!! =p A bit busy due to work and all, but otherwise I'm holding up fine. As I explained to iFght, I pretty much compensated for my lack of reviewing with the eight or nine monsters I contributed to the Users' Best of 2011 list (which should hopefully appear soon). And how are you?
AutoRock 01.05.12	Some really good (Bon Iver, Macnhester Orchestra, Submotion Orchestra, City and Colour, M83) and some pretty bad (Iron and Wine, Coldplay, Fucking Lulu, Radiohead) picks in my opinion. Mixed Bag.
macadoolahicky 02.01.12	"wait wut" xD
NightmareCinema16 12.04.12	I like the list.
