| 2011 Pt. 2
A revised favorites of 2011 list.. I guess this is my "Best of the first rhalf of 2011" list.. I'm rrrunning out of stuff to listen to, so I'm asking rfor recs again. :D Really into anything on the rremo/screamo/hardcore rside right now. | | 1 |  | The Devin Townsend Project
Deconstruction
I've got a little boner. | | 2 |  | Fucked Up
David Comes To Life
He would have made that girl his wife. | | 3 |  | Crash of Rhinos
Distal
Like American Football, but with more energy and a touch of aggression. I
only heard this three or four days ago, but if I'm not listening to this at
least once every 90 minutes or so, I start losing my mind. | | 4 |  | Swarms
Old Raves End
Like Burial but.. well, prettier. | | 5 |  | Giles Corey
Giles Corey
Deathconsciousness is one of my favorite albums of all time. This is like if
Deathconsciousness was remade as a folk album. Industrial folk?
Whatever, this rules. | | 6 |  | Battles
Gloss Drop
One of the FUNNEST albums of the year for sure. Way better than Mirrored
if you ask me. | | 7 |  | Grouper
A I A: Dream Loss / Alien Observer
Fell in love with this one while listening to it in my car before my 8:00 AM
classes. | | 8 |  | Aosoth

12 ratings!? This shit is massive, atmospheric, and eerily mechanical-
sounding. And strangely hypnotizing... | | 9 |  | The Devin Townsend Project
Ghost
Do I need to explain this? This year has made me a Devin Townsend fanboy. | | 10 |  | Fleet Foxes
Helplessness Blues
Took me a while to fully appreciate this one, but this is pretty hard to deny. | | 11 |  | Unexpect
Fables of the Sleepless Empire
Circus metal! | | 12 |  | Touche Amore
Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me
LATE NIGHTS AND ALL NIGHT DRIVES
ARE THE REASON WHY I'M ALIVE
AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. | | 13 |  | Liturgy [NY]
Aesthethica
The most transcendental album of the year. | | 14 |  | Panic! At The Disco
Vices & Virtues
I was convinced Pretty.Odd. marked the death of Panic!. Thankfully, I was
wrong. | | 15 |  | Ampere
Like Shadows
Haven't been a big Ampere fan in the past, but this made me a believer.
This would be a lot higher if it wasn't three minutes shorter than one song
on Deconstruction. | | 16 |  | Colin Stetson
New History Warfare, Vol 2: Judges
There were those that couldn't take it. | | 17 |  | tUnE-yArDs

This is a pretty recent dig.. It may be climbing this list after a while. This is
a ton of really bizarre, confusing fun. | | 18 | | Coate
coate (k?t)
From here on, these are in no particular order. | | 19 |  | Trap Them
Darker Handcraft | | 20 |  | Glassjaw
Coloring Book | | 21 |  | Laura Stevenson and the Cans
Sit Resist
Overrated, but still has a lot of charm. | | 22 |  | The Dear Hunter
The Color Spectrum (Complete Collection)
Overrated, but undeniable. | | 23 |  | Big K.R.I.T
ReturnOf4eva | | 24 |  | Shabazz Palaces
Black Up | | 25 |  | Love American
Love American | |

07.09.11 | So what's the deal with the random lowercase r's everywhere? | stillill124
07.09.11 | you make crash of rhinos sound great. looks worth checking out. solid list. | Satellite
07.09.11 | lol at 21 being overrated
nobody knows who the fuck she even is | FearThyEvil
07.09.11 | Man 1 is so boring it's ridiculous. For the most part these albums rule though. | Eko
07.09.11 | theres a little sect of sputnik that is reeeeeaaaaally hyping 21, maybe a little too much. | Foursmallhats
07.09.11 | Yeah the first couple ratings for it are: 4, 4.5, 3.5, 4.5, 4.5, 5.0, 5.0, 4.5, 5.0. 4.5. Plus a 4.2 overall score and a 5 review from a staffer (Emeritus, whatever). =P Etc. | Satellite
07.09.11 | you can't stop the sit resistance | Foursmallhats
07.09.11 | That's the magic of Gloss Drop.
And I like Sit Resist a lot, I just don't think it merits a 5. | Satellite
07.09.11 | agreed
it merits many 5s | Foursmallhats
07.09.11 | haha well not one from me. =P
Also, "most fun" would have sounded stupid. | telebyrd
07.09.11 | agreed on laura stevenson. list balls out of control | LordOfAlexandria
11.29.11 | I don't know if your comment about 34 is a joke, but Liturgy is the most laughable black metal act to come out in a while. Then their frontman had to actually affirm his bad music with bad philosophy... oh boy. Since you're asking for recs anyway, check out Fell Voices 2008 demo for, uh, actually transcendent black metal. | twlight
11.29.11 | Dir en Grey- Dum Spiro Spero
Manners- Apparitions
Rotten Sound- Cursed
Wormrot- Dirge |
