Last.fm journals are a place to talk about all things music. Favorite Albums of 2011 http://www.last.fm/user/airfigaro/journal/2012/01/15/5adyo8_favorite_albums_of_2011 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:00:28 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/airfigaro/journal/2012/01/15/5adyo8_favorite_albums_of_2011 As the years go on, it's getting more and more difficult to make these lists. I'm finding that I have less time that I can devote solely to devouring albums. Often my music listening time is occupied but other chores, leaving me only a certain percentage of concentration devoted to the music. Also with a subscription to mog.com and a free Spotify account, I have access to way more music. It used to be that I would collect MP3s from blogs, and purchased albums based of these samples. Now I can sample the entire album, and often I listen one album, enjoy it, but never take the time to really get to know it. I know, poor, cry me a river.

So... this list is composed of albums that I spent a lot of time listening to, but also have rated high on rateyoumusic.com. Coming in a little late this year, here are my favorite albums released in 2011:

1.) PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

New artists, new releases from favorite artists, and the trill of discovering new artists. This year, with my subscription to mog.com, I was able to access and hear more albums (new and old), than I ever had before. This made the task of choosing a "best of" list even more difficult. In the past I carefully screened and sampled albums before purchasing them, leaving many albums unheard in their entirety.

So here it goes, my favorite albums. I felt I had to put them in order, but I know that it the order might change over time. But this is how I feel at years end.

I have purchased others, but not listed them here, as yet)

Listened

***Kathryn Williams - The Quickening (8.5) - wonderfully arranged folk music, a lyrically and melodically talented songwriter delivers.

***Clubroot - II - MMX (5.5)
-Atmospheric dubstep, has a new agey vibe that could turn some off (especially the flute-like synths and some of the vocal samples), but I dig the beats.

***Tokyo Police Club - Champ (5)
-Didn't find anything all that catchy on this one, maybe it will grow on me with repeat listens.

***iTal tEK - Midnight Colour (7.5)
-Great mix of analog and organic sounds, mixed cleanly with dirty dupstep beats. Like the angular melodies in the dark soundscapes.

***Wye Oak - My Neighbor / My Creator (7)
-EP from them, also saw them live this year, opening for Shearwater. Not as fuzzed out as other stuff out there, which I like. Pretty straightforward, good stuff.

***Ratatat - LP4 (4)
-Sounds like... Ratatat. Signature guitar riffs, some interest in the blending of styles. 1970s piano-pop to straightforward dance rock with some disco bass lines mixed in. No standout tracks, too over the top for me.

***The Mynabirds - What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood (7)
-Sultry voice leads bluesy pop with a nice mix of other styles. Akin to She & Him, but more blues centered.

***Cell - Hanging Masses (4)
-Meh, not my thing. Down-tempo mystical ambient. At least it's not intrusive.

***Suckers - Wild Smile (7.5)
-Like this quite a bit, intrigued and will definitely give it more listens

***Drake - Thank Me Later (5.5)
-A Hip-Hop/R&B album I could actually listen to all the way through.

***The Drums - The Drums (7.5)
-Fun and Breezy, Sounds like the Cure on summer vacation.

***Here We Go Magic - Pigeons (7)

***Jason Moran - TEN (7)
-great Jazz pianist, this will definitely get more listens

Kele - The Boxer (4)
-average electro pop with some grimy dubstep thrown in for good measure, where are the hooks?
