I'm a week late on this one. In fact, I'm not even going to post my list. Instead, here are just a few albums I bothered to even listen to in the past year. Some were awesome, some were just ok. Others, like Vampire Weekend, were entirely fucking stupid, although my mom liked it.
Genghis Tron - Board up the House (very awesome, also the remix albums were great too)
Akimbo - Navigating the Bronze (thanks to Jesse Raub for introducing me to them a few years ago)
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (this shit put me to sleep. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing)
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Lie Down in the Light (see above description, but this time it was most definitely a good thing)
Flying Lotus - Los Angeles (this shit was kind of awesome)
Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life (this shit was very awesome)
United Nations (I was stoked for this to come out, and was not disappointed)
Torche - Meanderthal (listening to this makes me feel like a bad-ass)
Thursday/Envy split (I can't wait for this new Thursday album)
These Arms Are Snakes - Tail Swallower and Dove
The Hold Steady - Stay Positive (I don't know why kids like the Gaslight Anthem when we got the Hold Steady)
I was also digging new albums by Q-Tip, Lil Wayne, Portishead, TV on the Radio, the Mae Shi, M83, and that weird shit that Thrice put out.
