So it's about that time for me to make my list. I'm not really anticipating anything else coming out this year so I figure I might as well go ahead and do it. One thing to note is that these are the top albums that I personally have listened to. I'm sure there's a ton of stuff that would go on this list had I listened to it. I've just been way too busy to keep on top of everything. Some releases that come to mind that I just haven't been able to listen to yet, for one reason or another include those by Okkervil River, of Montreal, Battles, Maritime, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice, and Beirut. I'll get to them eventually folks, don't worry. Another thing to note is that this list is a little different from the one I made a few months ago. I think I was a little too high on some albums at the time, so this time I sat back and assessed the year as a whole. Anyways, here it is:

1. Machine Head - The Blackening
2. Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
3. Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
4. Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero
5. Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice
6. The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
7. Smashing Pumpkins - [album artist=Smashing

8. Radiohead - In Rainbows
9. Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 2: No World For Tomorrow
10. As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us

11. Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
12. The New Pornographers - Challengers
13. The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
