Thread: Great albums you've found this past year.

I'm a big fan of the album over the single. I like the complete work and what goes into it, but these days most artists try to put out just that one song, and ride the laurels of that. So another question I have for the TI community is what great albums have you discovered this past year and why? It doesn't have to be new.

Me I've loved:
The rural alberta advantage - hometowns
reminds me of home, they are consistent with their theme, and they convey a great sense of nostalgia in there lyrics.
Cut Copy - Zonoscope
All 80's all the time.
The Stranglers - No More Heroes.
Great punk band, great album, keep it a little bit dirty.

An album I've rediscovered recently has been Origin Of Symmetry by Muse.
The whole album is truly stunning.

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes is another.

If you are a bit like me, if you are into folk metal, there is a wonderful band from Hungaria called KerecsenSólyom.
I discovered them a few months ago and they're effing great !

I have moved this out of brain stew to music as I do not believe that this qualify as a brain stew topic

ohhh theres way too many. some favorites are:

Radio Moscow - Brain Cycles
Ott - Mir
Ten Madison - Travelling
Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends
Morning Teleportation - Expanding Away
Dungen - Skit I Allt
Tame Impala - Innerspeaker
The Black Keys - Brothers
anything by The Bridge
The Insane Warrior - We Are The Doorways
and a bunch of math rock artists such as Giraffes? Giraffes!, Marvins Revolt, The Bulletproof Tiger, The Redneck Manifesto, This Town Needs Guns, etc.

Here are some of my favorites from last year.

Bombay Bicycle Club - flaws
Azam Ali - Elysium For The Brave
Steve Lukather - Alls well that ends well

I had never heard about these artists and discovered them last year.

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

I am in love with this album!
It's by far my favorite album that I've discovered this year.

People always told me this was the worst Modest Mouse album, but I respectfully disagree as it is currently my favorite.
