Matt Scottoline’s (much more brief) Top 10 Albums of 2011

Below is a list of the albums I enjoyed most from this year. I don’t have much to say about most of them. I’m sure if I thought about it, I would.  The albums on this list are really great though.  A lot of albums this year were not really great.  This is a very compelling introduction.  Alright, here is the stupid list:

1) Yuck - “Yuck (Deluxe Edition)”

2) The Beach Boys - “The Smile Sessions”

3) Bon Iver - “Bon Iver”

4) The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - “Belong”

5) Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - “It’s A Corporate World”

6) Real Estate - “Days”

7) Jessica Lea Mayfield - “Tell Me”

8) Washed Out - “Within and Without”

9) Blouse - “Blouse”

10) Sandro Perri - “Impossible Spaces”
