albums i'm missing
 

I'm usually slow on the uptake musically, so I'm looking to you awesome people for great to must-have albums of the year. New albums, artist albums, preferably. Let me know what I'm missing. I'll buy you a beer.*

Albums I've listened to:
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver (5 stars)
!!! - Myth Takes (4.5)
Air - Pocket Symphony (3)
M.I.A. - Kala (4)
Justice - cross (4.5)
Underworld - Oblivion With Bells (4)
The Chemical Brothers - We Are The Night (2.5)
Bjork - Volta (4)
Black Strobe - Burn Your Own Church (2.5)
Matthew Dear - Asa Breed (4)
Caribou - Andorra (4)

*Offer not applicable to Rog. Beer already runs through his veins.

• Unkle - War Stories
• Digitalism - Idealism
• Simiam Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release ( although, it is a bit short )
• Whomadewho - Whomadewho
• New Young Pony Club - Fantastic Playroom (at least it's got a few good singles)
• Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi [beatport exclusive]


I feel like I'm forgetting a few releases (most of this is just the stuff I've been listening to within the past week or so), so I'll probably add a few tomorrow

I've been really digging the Boys Noize album, at least worthy of the mantle of the: new - new - new - "new Daft Punk" label. Although, I will say, that it works better as a set of tracks, than an 'album' - as I'd imagine it'd be pretty damn hard to listen to it straigh through, b/c it's so heavy

Some goodies that haven't been mentioned:

• Battles - Mirrored
• Kevin Drew - Spirit If
• Ween - La Cucaracha (ok, not out for a few weeks)
• Seefeel - Quique (redux edition; technically doesn't count :)

Stephan Bodzin - Liebe Ist... (the possible album James Holden should have done last year)

The National - Boxer (maybe monolithic at the first listen, but the more you listen the more you like this, light & dark at the same time)
