| Susanne Sundfor The Brothel | 4.5 |
| Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion | 4.0 |
| A freak-pop album that toes a dangerously thin line between genius arrangements, and simply obnoxious 'noise,' often both in the same song. |

| A masterclass in modern electronic music; it might not offer much that's new, but it manages to use all of the best ideas from various genres throughout the decade, and combines them into one glorious whole. |
| The National Boxer | 4.5 |
| Arcade Fire Neon Bible | 3.5 |
| The Knife Silent Shout | 4.5 |
| A disturbing, eerie beast of an electronic album, but without enough musical and lyrical depth to make you want to return to it again, and again, and again. |
| Arcade Fire The Suburbs | 4.0 |
| Kashiwa Daisuke Program Music I | 4.5 |
| Gospel The Moon Is a Dead World | 4.5 |
