So I've recently decided to open the rabbit hole of music, and what I mean by that is that I've chosen to finally both keep up to date with albums that are currently being released and take the time to listen to them in full. I've always loved music, but this would be a rather large step for me, as up until now I've let other people and "the radio" determine the bands that I listen to. I will probably add another entry for 2012, 2011, and 2010 as well eventually.
This is currently in progress obviously, and this top 10 list will be updated as new albums are released:
1. Jon Hopkins - Immunity
-- One of the most amazing electronic albums I have ever heard. There isn't a bad song on here. From the intro "We Disappear" to the album-entitled outro "Immunity", this album has it all. Personal favorites for me are "Open Eye Signal" and "Sun Harmonics", but they seem to change every day between different tracks.
2. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
3. Disclosure - Settle
4. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
5. Kanye West - Yeezus
6. The Knife - Shaking the Habitual
7. Jizue - Journal
8. Sigur Ros - Kveikur
9. Savages - Silence Yourself
10. Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork
11. Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus
12. My Bloody Valentine - mbv
13. The Haxan Cloak - Excavation
14. Baths - Obsidian
15. Deafheaven - Sunbather
16. Local Natives - Hummingbird
17. Phosphorescent - Muchacho
18. Deerhunter - Monomania
19. Smith Westerns - Soft Will
20. Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
21. Thundercat - Apocalypse
22. Phoenix - Bankrupt
23. The Strokes - Comedown Machine
24. Quasimoto - Yessir Whatever
25. These New Puritans - Fields of Reeds
(will be fleshing this out once I find more time for it)
