Last time this thread came up almost every album I posted was from 2010 or 2009. The only two I can think of that I listened to from this year are Sidewalks by Matt & Kim and Tha Carter IV by Lil Wayne. Sidewalks was good. Tha Carter IV was ok but I was unimpressed

 

[Aidan-G]

I need to listen to that album. I've only heard a few tracks but what I've heard was good

 

[Alpine3]

i hate kanye west.

[.squirrely.]

I haven't heard of any of those albums. I must be too mainstream. Hipster music aside, my favorite albums this year were man overboard's self titled album, legendary weapons was pretty good, foo fighters wasting light was great and I hate to say it, but I liked blue side park. Inb4 Mac miller sucks
