Poradie albumov neberiem nejak vážne, je pre mňa ťažké určiť ktorý album sa mi páčil viac a ktorý menej, každý z albumov má niekoľko výborných skladieb ktoré album posúvajú v rebríčku dopredu. Preto som vybral len 2O pre mňa najlepších albumov roku 2011 a zoradil ich do prvej a druhej desiatky(pre mňa teda prvé a druhé miesto:). …

1. Foster The People - Torches
2. SBTRKT - SBTRKT
3. M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
4. Washed Out - Within and Without
5. Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact
6. Bon Iver - Bon Iver
7. The Decemberists - The King Is Dead
8. Wild Beasts - Smother
9. The Black Keys - El Camino
10. Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2

And a few extra for fun:
Battles - Gloss Drop
Rustie - Glass Swords
Modeselektor -Monkeytown
Feist - Metals
Zomby - Dedication

Warum auf dem Konzert der The Black Keys kurz Disco-Feeling aufkam, und wie sich Portugal. The Mans Liebe zur Winterbekleidung offenbarte, könnt ihr in meinem kurzen Konzertbericht zur Show in der Berlin Arena nachlesen...

Viel Spaß beim Lesen und kommentieren!

This year was the hardest list I've had to write thus far. But next year already sounds like hearbreak. New albums expected fromJukebox the Ghost, The Avett Brothers and a Ben Folds Five reunion album?! SERIOUSLY, no one could get it done in time for 2011? My three favorite bands shouldn't be allowed to release albums in the same year. And now I bring you 1-30! Except in the reverse order!



30. Givers – In Light


Up Up Up with Givers! This band from New Orleans is making a name for itself; this record is a folkier version of Matt & Kim or Mates of State. I am glad to hear Up Up Up in public (my bar even plays it) and the indie stations have all caught on to its extreme amount of catchiness. Up Up Up is just the beginning. The album is full of other great songs including, but not limited to; Saw You First and Go Out All Night. A theme this year seems to be ten track records, In Light is one of the longest ten trackers, there’s not a single song that runs less than four minutes on the whole album. …

These are my favorite albums of the year. I could keep tweaking it forever. I know in the next few months I'm going to find albums I missed and albums that I didn't appreciate enough, so please tell me what you think I need to check out.

Anyone who thought 2011 was disappointing for music needs to dig a bit deeper. Some major artists disappointed and complete unknowns blew up.


It's time to move on to 2012 though, so here's what I liked in 2011. If an artist had multiple, noteworthy releases I grouped them.

1. M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
2. Washed Out - Within and Without
3. Deafheaven - Roads to Judah
4. Bright Eyes - The People's Key
5. And So I Watch You From Afar - Gangs
6. James Blake - James Blake/Enough Thunder
7. Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason
8. Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage
9. Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean
10. Nero - Welcome Reality
11. The Weeknd - House of Balloons/Thursday/Echoes Of Silence
