2011 was kind of a mediocre year - pretty much everything I was looking forward to music-wise has somehow slipped to 2012. Oh well, that'll just make 2012 that much more exciting! Now let's check out what DID come out in 2011...
Top Albums for 2011:
1. I Am The Avalanche - Avalanche United
2. The Subways - Money And Celebrity
3. Funeral For A Friend - Welcome Home Armageddon!
4. Cave In - White Silence
5. Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See
6. Drive: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (compilation)
7. ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Tao Of The Dead
8. Thursday - No Devolución
9. Glassjaw - Coloring Book (EP)
10. Funeral For A Friend - See You All In Hell (EP)
11. Thrice - Major / Minor
12. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
13. Bush - The Sea Of Memories
14. Lou Reed & Metallica - Lulu
15. Taking Back Sunday - Taking Back Sunday
The last 5 are separated because I feel there's a big difference in quality between the groups. Those last 5 are ones that either surprised me by their continued relevance but didn't stick with me too much (Bush, Foo Fighters, Lou Reed & Metallica), or were anticipated and ended up disappointing me (Thrice, Taking Back Sunday). In a stronger year, these wouldn't have made the list at all, but I didn't want to stop at just 10 this year.
So, next year.... Looking forward to new music from Every Time I Die, A Wilhelm Scream, The Bronx, Lostprophets, The Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, Murder By Death, and hopefully plenty of pleasant surprises. And no slipping to 2013 goddamnit!
