| My Top 10 Of '10
Roughly. | | 1 |  | The Tallest Man On Earth
The Wild Hunt
Easily my #1. Some years it's a toss-up, but for 2010, The Tallest Man On Earth rules all. Read my review for further thoughts. | | 2 |  | Minus The Bear
Omni
This was the first MTB release to be panned by fans, but I still think it's up there with some of the best stuff they've ever done. Read my review for further thoughts. | | 3 |  | Circa Survive
Blue Sky Noise
I've always been a fair-weather Circa Survive fan...their previous two full lengths had a lot of hit-and-miss stuff on it. Blue Sky Noise, however, it the first solid effort from the band, and I think the guys are just starting to hit their peak. | | 4 |  | Good Old War
Good Old War
Not as folky/poppy as their debut, but still some heartwarming, technically-sound tracks here. Probably one of the better all-around listens of the year. | | 5 |  | Ellie Goulding
Lights
With all due respect to Miss Monae, I feel that Ellie Goulding had the best pop album of the year. A terrific voice combined with catchy, electronic songwriting makes a pretty lethal combo for me. | | 6 |  | Fang Island
Fang Island
I went from thinking this album was fairly average to really rockin'. Great three-guitar attack, gang vocals and uplifting vibe. Read my review for further thoughts. | | 7 |  | Parades
Foreign Tapes
Some terrific indie songwriting here, featuring a multi-instrument approach and fantastic vocals. Read my review for further thoughts. | | 8 |  | Cloudkicker
Beacons
Great off-center, Meshuggah-esque riffs combined with a great sense of melody. While I found his EPs to be a little fluffy, Beacons returns with some great passages and progressions. | | 9 |  | The National
High Violet
Some songs are still growing on me, but overall, it's the same high-quality, melancholy stuff from one of the best bands going. | | 10 |  | The Devil Wears Prada
Zombie EP
While metalcore has been spinning it's wheels for a good half decade now, the Prada boys release a pretty fun, punishing EP to install a little more faith into the future of the genre. Read my review for further thoughts. | |

12.10.10 | Clean Head | bloc
12.10.10 | 10 is probably in my top 20, great album. | psykonaut
12.10.10 | good to see some love for 10, sputnik doesn't usually like TDWP but the zombie EP is easily their best work so far. twenty minutes of hilariously fun zombie slaying music | lukempls
12.10.10 | 1 is my 1 too. and 3 is my 20. otherwise no similarities. never understood the hype on 10, there's plenty of more interesting (and less cringe-worthy) metalcore than tdwp, imo. | cvlts
12.11.10 | ily david driver | pizzamachine
12.11.10 | 10 is crazy fun. | sollopsist
12.12.10 | good old war was so disappointing, | Beauville88
12.13.10 | Really? I thought it was pretty close to their self-titled, quality-wise. |
