On this site there is often a rush to be first to get it and listen to it and review it, which often leads to a rush in judgement. But some artists you really have to get their stuff fresh out because it will mark that point in time for you. Edited by Slartibartfast - January 14 2012 at 07:20 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

catfood03, no offense, but maybe you're just too whiny for this year? And I really don't get the folk who rush to listen new albums as soon as they come out. Most of the time I music to listen to, and when an album comes out I don't listen to it until I'm in the right mood. Sometimes I ignore albums by favourite bands for years only to listen to them after all that time and find them amazing. |

2011 was absolutely outstanding for me. The best year since the mid-70's. I aquired about 90 albums from 2011 as compared to 20-30 in each year of the first decade of 21st. century.

Actually, I felt it becoming too much of a blow disagreeing with you for a third time.

Well that´s obvious, when the music is like this(almost forgot about Magdalena Solis´ Hesperia album - Krautrock in 2011

I found this interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010s_in_music Looks like prog music's been acknowledged as a popular form of music for this decade, in terms of getting any attention.

I really like the unharnessed way these guys roll on this release. Sounds like a weird hybrid of electro jazz with some spastic twitches thrown in for good measure.

I think it has been an excellent year. I may have been hanging in the bounds financially - not being able to acquire anything, but lately I´ve been retaliating big time - and boy was I surprised by the amount of great music out there. You just need to look in the right places, that´s all really...
These are just a few that I really like: There´s loads of wonderful music out there in the big wide world, personally I tend to prefer the ones you´ll find away from all the top lists though... |

Maybe. I listened to more or less the same amount of albums each year (around 150) - the conclusion is that 2011 had overall more "good" albums, but unlike 2010, none I could describe as "excelent". |

For me, 2010 was spent more on older albums. Actually, most of the first half was spent checking out anything I missed in 2009. I didn't check out much 2010 music IN that year, I got them in 2011.
2011 had more new releases I was interested in, and I got into more older albums as well. So 2011 was more "exciting" in the sense of getting a lot of newly released music. However, 2010 and 2011 were equally satisfying because Ive been getting into so much music in the last 2 years, and it's still going. |
