Recently J. Fischer queried me for my top albums of 2011. Having cleared out, but not deleted, my iTunes library a number of times this year I had to do a little digging. I turned to Metacritic’s High Scores of 2011 to jog my memory. And as it stands: Is This Hyperreal? Atari Teenage Riot Celestial Lineage Wolves in the Throne Room Night of Hunters Tori Amos Norwegian Wood Jonny Greenwood Let England Shake PJ Harvey  It’s worth noting that 3/5 point to more than a twinge of 90’s nostalgia, or perhaps career longevity. After looking through a few lists, I’ve clearly missed out on a couple releases (which I have since remedied): Street Halo Burial Nostalgia, Ultra. Frank Ocean An Album By Korallreven Korallreven Ninth Peter Murphy

Recently J. Fischer queried me for my top albums of 2011. Having cleared out, but not deleted, my iTunes library a number of times this year I had to do a little digging. I turned to Metacritic’s High Scores of 2011 to jog my memory. And as it stands:

  1. Is This Hyperreal? Atari Teenage Riot
  2. Celestial Lineage Wolves in the Throne Room
  3. Night of Hunters Tori Amos
  4. Norwegian Wood Jonny Greenwood
  5. Let England Shake PJ Harvey 

It’s worth noting that 3/5 point to more than a twinge of 90’s nostalgia, or perhaps career longevity. After looking through a few lists, I’ve clearly missed out on a couple releases (which I have since remedied):

  • Street Halo Burial
  • Nostalgia, Ultra. Frank Ocean
  • An Album By Korallreven Korallreven
  • Ninth Peter Murphy
