My Best Of 2011
These aren't the best of 2011 because I haven't heard all the albums of r2011. There are still rso many that i need to get to. This is just a list of rthe best albums that I've heard from 2011. |
| 1 |  | Incubus
If Not Now, When?
This was very disappointing, but the last four songs really saved this for me. The
only real reason I bought this is because I'm a huge Incubus fan. |
| 2 |  | Primus
Green Naugahyde |
| 3 |  | Cloudkicker
Let Yourself Be Huge |
| 4 |  | The United Sons of Toil
When the Revolution Comes, Everything Will Be Beau |
| 5 |  | Crash of Rhinos
Distal |
| 6 | | The Odious
That Night a Forest Grew
The description on this band's bandcamp page was death metal and jazz. So
needless to say i was confused and intrigued. Since it was free, i gave it a chance.
And it was surprisingly good, kind of trailed off towards the end, but it mixed the
metal aspects(more of this) and the jazz aspects pretty well. |
| 7 |  | The Black Keys
El Camino
A little worse than Brothers, but still a great release. Still gives me hope that they
will once again put out an album that consists of just guitar, drums and a shit ton
of blues. |
| 8 |  | Death Grips
Exmilitary |
| 9 |  | Love Axe
Phenomenomenons |
| 10 |  | Love American
Love American |
| 11 |  | Trophywife

Mr. Tough |
| 17 |  | Wugazi
Wugazi: The 13th Chamber |
| 18 |  | Iron & Wine
Kiss Each Other Clean
I read way too much hate about this album. Who gives a shit if Sam Beam used
more than 2 instruments, went electronic, and used the big budget from his
major label to produce a damn fine album. |

Hunt |
| 20 |  | Dispatch

This was, simply put, a very well written album. Everything seemed to be well
thought out and the album art is great too. |
| 30 |  | Mastodon
The Hunter |
| 31 |  | The Weeknd
Echoes of Silence |
| 32 |  | The Weeknd
House of Balloons |
| 33 |  | Colin Stetson
New History Warfare, Vol 2: Judges
The amazing things this man can do with a giant saxophone. And thats not an
innuendo. |
| 34 |  | The Dear Hunter
The Color Spectrum (Complete Collection)
I love how all these Eps can stand on their own, and yet they fit together very
well. |
| 35 |  | Giraffes? Giraffes!
Pink Magick |
| 36 |  | And So I Watch You From Afar
Gangs
It's so awesome to listen to this band grow and mature. This album makes me
want to travel to the U.K. to see these guys live. |
| 37 |  | Fucked Up
David Comes to Life |
| 38 |  | TV on the Radio
Nine Types of Light |
| 39 |  | Foo Fighters
Wasting Light
Even though I'm a bit bias because I'm a foo fighters fanboy, I love this album,
and it was a great release. |
| 40 |  | Thrice
Major/Minor
I really thought this album was all hype, but man was i wrong. The production on
this album was great and mixed with great songwriting equals a great album. |
| 41 |  | Russian Circles
Empros |
| 42 |  | BADBADNOTGOOD
BBNG
If this is the future of jazz, I cannot wait for it to get here. This album has
inspired me more in one listen than another album this year. It has infected my
brain, and I am looking forward for when they release an album of all originals. |
