Top Albums 2011

Hello Tumblr, 

It’s been quite some time, yes. The main reason I drifted away from Tumblr was it was distracting me from schoolwork, but I have also found most of the posts to be about “anons” and other gossipy items.  Anyways, I needed somewhere to place my top five albums of 2011.  So many great albums were released this year so I will list my top three, then many that were top contenders. If any of my followers care, please let me know what you think of my choices. I am completely open to any criticism and would like to hear yours as well.

Top Albums:

1. Touché Amoré - Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me

This was the first year my ears were blessed with Touché Amoré. Their latest release is filled with so much emotion that I believed to have felt at a time, and is very well written.

2. Fireworks - Gospel

This very catchy Pop-Punk album had me singing along all through the summer.  ’Gospel’ is definitely a much more mature release than their first album.

3. The Wonder Years - Suburbia I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing

Again, another catchy sing-along Pop-Punk record. This summer I became engrossed with the Beat Generation, so this album was perfect for all of the literature I was taking in.

Transit - Listen & Forgive

Mansions - Dig Up The Dead

The Story So Far - Under Soil and Dirt

Seahaven - Winter Forever

Into it. Over it. - Proper

Basement - I Wish I Could Stay Here

Balance and Composure - Separation

La Dispute - Wildlife

Kanye West & Jay-Z - Watch the Throne
