    Kaputt
    Kaputt is the sort of record that arrives only once in a while: an expansive world that captivates you from beginning to end, impresses you with its self-awareness and cohesiveness, then releases you from its grasp when it's all over.

    Friends for Now
    All in all, Friends for Now is an impressively strong debut that exceeds even the vast expectations of those fans primed on the band's introductory singles and releases.

    Live on Ten Legs
    . Equal parts wistful throwback and raucous romp, Live on Ten Legs is a fun and lively ride through Pearl Jam's catalog.

    Cape Dory
    This is a high-personality disc, one that avoids cliches and cheese while also being steeped in tradition and an immense dose of adorableness.

    Red Barked Tree
    This is in many ways what you'd expect from a new Wire album. It has so many pieces of their signature sound; it has the reinvention, the added textures, and ideas.

    The King Is Dead
    The balance of scenery and sins as well as some jangly guitar work from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and the glassy background pipes of Gillian Welch render The King Is Dead a middle-of-the-road record, a pleasant, introspective stroll through the cottonwoods whose creaky comfort gets The Decemberists out of their comfort zone.

    Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes
    It might not end up being one of the best albums of 2011, but it's still worth your time (and it was certainly worth six years to Ness).

    Dye It Blonde
    Doing their best to make the most out of a situation and other people's preconceived notions and arbitrarily established boundaries, the boys of Smith Westerns made their Britpop magnum opus, for better or for worse. Here's to the next cut and color they choose.

    Outside
    All in all, Outside is a solid third album and a return to form of sorts from a band clearly in the midst of a big transition.

    Apollo Kids
    They [Ghostface and Wu-Tang Clan] are truly a hip-hop enigma, and Apollo Kids is just another piece of proof.

    Love Letter
    This is a lights off and candles lit album, not a club album. You may think the kind words are more from the kitsch value of R. Kelly, but I assure you they are not. Give it some spins, and decide.

    Mini Mansions
    It's different. It's well-written. It's emotive. Those three things are hard enough to find in music these days, let alone in one place.

    Ø (Disambiguation)
    That framework [on 2008′s Lost in the Sound of Separation] is largely in tact on the new effort, except it's decidedly richer and more vibrant, showcasing each member's strengths in ways not realized before in Underoath's decade-old career.

    III/IV
    With music from the nerdy recesses of his mind, to a triumphant release that happily displays some of his more off-center offerings, Adams continues to be a presence in music, this year and beyond.

    4 x 4 = 12
    He's not relying on anybody else out there to make something unique for him to sample; he's making them all himself. Joel Zimmerman only has to rely on deadmau5, and the party won't ever stop. And the mouse is far from dead.

    Tron: Legacy
    The Tron: Legacy Soundtrack is quality, but it's easy to ignore, wholly capable of disappearing into the background--which is ultimately how soundtracks are supposed to be, is it not?
    • 61 Metascore

    Doo-Wops and Hooligans
    This fulfilling 10 track album has very few holes, and if this is just a taste of what he has in the vaults for either himself or for other artists, he should be racking up some Grammy's shortly.
