People keep saying new music is crap but I don't believe it. Out of the 50 albums or so that I reviewed this year, I can honestly say I'd recommend atleast 80% of them which is pretty good. Granted I did do some digging to find some of this stuff...but it's worth it when you find it.
It wasn't that tough a decision to narrow down my top 10 seeing as I awarded only 10 albums with 5 "stars".

10. BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH / Noir
9. THE CURE / Bestival Live 2011
8. PJ HARVEY / Let England Shake
7. THE WAR ON DRUGS / Slave Ambient
6. VESPERTINA / The Waiting Wolf
5. TOM WAITS / Bad As Me
