2011 is not a great year for music....nothing significant came out...and by "significant" I mean albums that we'll be listened and remembered decades from now.
Oh, I found her on Spotify. I actually quite liked some of her music...but definitely not the best album of 2011. I'll hold back my response but it'll probably go to Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
I don't have any updates on my list, but Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces was kind of disappointing for me.
01) Animals as Leaders: Weightless 02) Mastodon: The Hunter 03) Thrice: Major/Minor 04) Fair to Midland: Arrows & Anchors 05) Bon Iver: Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Since I last posted in this thread, a lot of shit has came out, and my choices for the top 5 are pretty much set in stone (until Drake's new album comes out, will bump Panda Bear out for sure).

Tyler, The Creator - GOBLIN 03. Watch the Throne - Watch the Throne 04. EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints 05. Panda Bear - Tomboy 06. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo 07. Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning 08. Lil' Wayne - Tha Carter IV 09. Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost 10. tUnE-yArDs - W H O K I L L And, proving EP's aren't a dying art.... 01. EP † by ††† 02. Enough Thunder by James Blake 03. Life Sux by Wavves 04. EP by Childish Gambino 05. Coloring Book by Glassjaw
