It's been a pretty decent year for music so far.

What are your favourite albums this year to date? and which are you eagerly anticipating?

Or the which album(s) hasn't lived up to your expectations?
 
From this year ive only heard:

65daysofstatic - We Were Exploding Anyway - My favourite out of the 3, didn't disappoint with 65dos continuing to change and evolve their sound, even better live, 4/5

The Fall - Your Future Our Clutter - bit of a let down based on reviews, but still a decent album, 2.5/5

Errors - Come Down With Me - good solid album like the debut, nothing particularly revolutionary or amazing, but an enjoyable listen, 3.5/5

Ive Also gotten The Nationals new album but havent listened yet
 
B.o.B-Adventures of Bobby Ray
4/5
Nas and Damien Marley-Distant Relatives
4.5/5
 
Plan B and Gorillaz are really good :)

Or you could try Now 75062324325. ;)

I really enjoyed Your Future Our Clutter, a big step up for them as their last few were quite poor.

High Violet is a fantastic album, I wasn't even a fan of Boxer. Or Alligator. Or anything by the band before, to be honest. So I wasn't expecting much. But it's an incredible record.

Looks like it's their Merriweather Post Pavilion-esque breakthrough record.

Another superb album, I'm actually finding it physically impossible to stop listening to Go.


Congratulations - MGMT. Unbelievably underwhelming, it would be a decent stand alone album but I expected better from them after their début. Maybe my expectations were to high going into it.

Together - The New Pornographers. A very good album, very listenable too, I personally prefer it to High Violet.

Hot Chip/ LCD Soundsystem. After listening to both of these albums based on decent reviews, I was actually shocked at how **** I found them. A couple of average songs each on both and that's about it. Poor.

If anyone's interested, Omar Rodriguez Lopez (Mars Volta) and John Frusciante released a free collaboration album which I quite like. You can find it here. It's an album with primarily focussed on guitar, with lots of distortion and electronic sounds mixed in. They are by far and away the most talented and creative guitarists of their generation.

I enjoyed Biffy's new record Only Revolutions but I guess that counts as 09.

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History, thats a cracking record.

Eddlad, I agree with your comment on Omar Rodriguez, such a talented guitar player. I wish At the Drive in would reform haha.
 
Hates : Faithless' new album.
Loves: Eminem's new album, from what i have heard it is really good.

Wasnt looking forward to Keles album, his singing is quite annoying at time but I listened to the song he put on his site a few weeks ago and it was quite good so think ill try give the album a listen, when is it out?
 
Just listened to the new Pendulum album, slightly better than In Silico but still got nothing on Hold Your Color.
