2010 albums

I'm not a music critic. I was keeping a blog for a while but I tend to bring too much emotion and personal bias into it. It's also hard to keep up with music in these fast-paced times especially since most of my time is spent working on my own music, projects, life, etc. I don't get a chance to hear everything let alone absorb things on the level required for any degree of journalistic integrity. However, I do enjoy making lists.

I don't know that these selections are the best albums that 2010 had to offer. These are the albums I seemed to listen to the the most or that I feel deserve a nod - alphabetically by artist.

1. Autolux - Transit Transit
2. Balaclavas - Roman Holiday

4. Broken Water - Whet

9. Liars - Sisterworld
10. Lower Dens - Twin Hand Movement
11. Marnie Stern - s/t
12. Merchandise - Strange Songs (In The Dark)
13. No Age - Everything In Between
14. Perfume Genius - Learning
