Since we are just a tad way beyond the halfway point of 2011, I figured it would be a good idea just to give a list of the 10 best albums thus far. It was pretty hard to narrow it down to 10 because there have been so many albums released already this year. The ones below are worth owning multiple times over.
There are other note-worthy albums in the comments section below. Some of which may be added at the end of the year because some albums may be better on a second or third listening or maybe my tastes will have changed.
Regardless, here are what I consider the 10 best albums so far this year (in alphabetical order):
Airborne Toxic Event - All At Once
The Antlers - Burst Apart
Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
The Decemberists - The King Is Dead
Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean
James Blake - James Blake
Manchester Orchestra - Simple Math
TV On The Radio - Nine Types Of Light
Tyler, The Creator - Goblin
WU LYF - Go Tell Fire To The Mountain
