Three-and-a-half months after the fact isn't too long to wait for a list you don't care about, right? This list is pretty amorphous.
#1 is definitely (probably) better than #55, but it's all sorta subjective. Descriptions are minimal by design because writing too much about music - or any art, really - detracts from said art, I think (and because I'm lazy). I'm not really sure how I feel about my reviews, but meh. They are what they are. These are some of the best albums that came out last year, at least according to my retarded brain. I tried to provide multiple sources to stream/download all the albums (the 'Download' links will take you to a.rar file on my own Mediafire account; other links should be self-explanatory).
Gimme some feedback, too, even if you think these albums are all shit. Dean Blunt The Narcissist II Abusive, disconnected electrodreampop; flat, weird, and upsetting 54. Pentimento Pentimento Stupidly emotional pop-punk; tear out your heart and slap it on your sleeve 53. Mutilation Rites Empyrean Violently shifting atmospheric black metal; like being repeatedly followed and then mugged in the same dark alley by a guy who helps you up each time 52. DIIV Oshin Krauty space-rock; zone zone zone focus zone focus zone.zone 51. MediaFired The pathway through Whatever Echo chamber plunderphonics; seriously, there's a song in there (sometimes even a Backstreet Boys song) 50.
