5. "Merriweather Post Pavillion" by Animal Collective.
Not sure how to best describe this album. Sure it's indie, and faily unique, but it's also a lot fun!
4. "Animals in the Dark" by William Elliott Whitmore
To listen to this deep bluesy sounding singer, you'd probably think he was a 50 some year old African American guy, not a younger white dude! Awesome garage type blues, my favorite track is "Old Devils."
3. "No Line on the Horizon" by U2.
Folks, for me anyway, U2 is BACK! In a big way too. After hearing the first single, 'Get on Your Boots' I was a little nervous, but when I heard the entire album, that track clicked right into place and it's not even the best track! This is their best since Achtung Baby. The song "Moment of Surrender" might end up being my favorite song of the year.
2. "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" by Mono.
I'm new to post-rock as a genre, but the weight, depth, and beauty of this album blow me away every time.
--And my favorite so far....-
1. "The Hazards of Love" by The Decemberists.
Yes folks, a new rock opera, and a great one, the more I listen to it, the closer it gets to being perfect. Their best since "Her Majesty," but they'll never top that album for me. This should be one of the best of the year.
