[anti.]

some killer albums out this year, to narrow it down to 5 is a pretty hard task.

i'd still say no.1 is Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago.

then you've got Foals, Fleet Foxes, Cut Copy, Friendly Fires, Mystery Jets, Lightspeed Champion, Crystal Castles, Wolf Parade, The Mars Volta, Girl Talk, Empire Of The Sun, Mogwai, Boys Noize, Port O'Brien, F*ck Buttons, Dodos and TV On The Radio...

although one of the best releases this year i've heard is an EP from Passion Pit called Chunk Of Change. i recommend it, it ****ing rules.
