2011 Recs
I realize that I haven't listened to the best albums out there this year. A lot of bands have release great albums and all, but no classics. Took me a bit of time to remember a lot of these albums, and not having the charts before June didn't help. I'll be needing a lot of recs now. Thanks in advance |
1 | | Thrice Major/Minor
The album has what 'Beggars' lacked: balls. Thrice keep the bluesy Grunge sound going on, but make it sound even better. Anthology is definitely one of 201's best tracks |
2 | | Oh, Sleeper Children of Fire
May as well be my AOTY |
3 | | Tech N9ne All 6's and 7's
This album shouldn't work, but it does, and very well. Tech brings out the best in most o the mainstream artist he works with here. |
4 | | Jay-Z and Kanye West Watch The Throne
Your Reaso
Worked the first listen, but now sounds weird. Jay-Z's verses are definitely not the best things in the world and tend to weigh this album down a lot. It could of been so much more than it is. No Church In The Wild, I have to say, is the best produced mainstream rap song this year. |
5 | | G-Side The One...Cohesive
"Jones" 'nuff said. |
6 | | Opeth Heritage
Where did the DM go, it's so bland, and uninspired. BOOOORING. |
7 | | Breathe Carolina Hell is What You Make It
Above average pop record. Blackout is awesome. |
8 | | Thursday No Devolucion
Have to get back to this one. Really didn't know what to think of it after the first listen. |
9 | | Funeral for a Friend Welcome Home Armageddon |
10 | | Architects The Here and Now
I don't see all the hate. A really respectable post-hardcore release full of hope and joy. Red Eyes is the standout track. |
11 | | Dance Gavin Dance Downtown Battle Mountain II
Elder Goose |
12 | | Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV
He was the one. The chosen one. He was suppose to bring the balance between mainstream and underground hip-hop. Instead, he made another Lil Wayne album. Oh well, it's still good to hear. |
13 | | Snoop Dogg Doggumentary
He's really not doing anything new here. He hasn't been great since Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. |
14 | | Dream Theater A Dramatic Turn of Events
It's really not doing that much for me atm, should give it another try. |
15 | | August Burns Red Leveler
Yeah, Oh, Sleeper beat them at making the most memorable metalcore album of the year, but Leveler still kicks ass. "Carpe Diem" is a beautiful song. |
16 | | Skrillex More Monsters and Sprites
I know you lost the material for an album. But why not wait to release a new EP instead of giving us 1000 remixes of your most commercially successful song... Equinox is great though |
17 | | Cunninlynguists Oneirology
The album has very proficient rappers, as well as monster beats. a true delight. |
18 | | The Devil Wears Prada Dead Throne
Really not as good as Zombie |
19 | | Trivium In Waves
Not even remotely interesting. Lost faith in this band. Shogun was amazingly good for Trivium standards, pity they couldn't keep this going |
20 | | The Weeknd House of Baloons
For once, RnB done well |
21 | | In Flames Sounds of a Playground Fading
They need to stop trying to sound like they're in their 20s. They sound really immature on this record... |
22 | | Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra
It was cute, nothing special |
23 | | Defeater Empty Days and Sleepless Nights
So so good. |
24 | | The Wonder Years Suburbia: I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing
Yes, there still is good Pop Punk out there |
25 | | Tyler The Creator Goblin
The concept of the album pleases me, haven't given this a listen yet, but can't wait to |
26 | | Raekwon Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang
Still using the Asian flicks to help create his gangsta stories. The album is one of the best of the year |
