        NUMBER 11 AKA JUST BAD ENOUGH TO NOT MAKE THE TOP 10

        Frank Ocean - Nostalgia/Ultra



        OMG IRISH ISN'T HIPSTER! HE LIKES MAINSTREAM! THE LIST IS A SHAM!

        Now before everyone gets all Woy Music on me, let's clear this up. I really liked this album when I was at college. Maybe it is because I am arousing girls at college and the romantic in me likes this album. Maybe it is because I am high and drunk a lot. I don't know how my brain works, only Jesus knows. But I listened to this album a lot this fall semester. Like I am sure my roomies got tired of hearing it and me yelling the words to Novacane. But I am sorry. When you go to a state school and are romancing the ladies, bands like Girls and Destroyer aren't common knowledge for these ladies. And girls like being romanced to music they know. At least the retards at UT do. So now when I listen to this album I associate sexy times with it. Weird how the brain makes connections. So this album is here because of how great a tool it is for my social awkward self to romance women.

        I listened to this album today, as I do with all albums I am about to put on this list, and I didn't really like it that much. Maybe because I listened to it too much, maybe because I am sober, maybe because the ladies I used to romance are in Knoxville, Jesus only knows. And looking at this list I think I would put Danny Brown here and just swap the two albums. It's whatever tho. EVERYTIME SOMEBODY ASKS DO I LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM TO GET AT WOMEN, I SAY YEAH. I am so clever.

         
        It's been a weird day.

              I was really hyped for that album, and it was kind of a let down. It didn't stand a chance. :/

                THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2011

                NUMBER 10

                Little Dragon - Ritual Union



                This is my Frank Ocean album for the rare times I hook up with indie girls. Sexy album. Sexiest of 2011.

                  I loved Little Dragon's album when I listened to it all the way through once. Too bad that was the only time I listened to it.

                  Also, I chuckled at the Painted Palms track shoved into the bottom of that post. That EP is fantastic.

                    NUMBER 9


                    Kendrick Lamar - Section.80



                    This is your generation.
                    Fancy girls on Long Beach Blvd flagging down all of these flashy cars
                    And this is rigamortis and it's gorgeous when you die.
                    Live your life, live it right, be different, do different things.
                    I'm dancing on them stars.
                    What's your life about? Enlighten me.
                    Is you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feet?
                    Stand for something or die in the morning.
                    Hiiipower

                     
                    They are lyrics from the final couple of songs on the album. The peak of rap music in 2011.

                        I don't know why it doesn't get much love. I was never really a Blu fan, but that mixtape was decent.

                              Ceremonials and undun will be on my top 10 list, because I will not be doing my top 10 list a month too early like a newb.

                                THE TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2011

                                NUMBER 8


                                The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient


                                I actually had some other album listed here to start the list. Like I said I listen to the album the day before I post(today), then I write down my thoughts or whatever this has become at midnight on the correct day(night owl). But as I was listening to that album I decided I had miss-ranked the album so I moved it up. This is my list and that is how I say things go(power trip). BUT.....

                                Nothing against this album because I still love it. The singers voice(Adam Granduciel, I think), has probably my favorite voice of every album I have posted. Literally if there was some kind of voice transplant and I could have his, I would play my guitar a lot more. I was looking at reviews for this because I spent most of my day thinking of what to say for the other album(not really, I mostly write all this spur of the moment(which is why it is so random)), and most reviewers called his sound Americana, with Dylan and Springsteen influences. I can kind of see it(no I can't). But anyway I love this album and if Jhen still needs 14 hour drive music, I would highly recommend this. I could definitely drive through the great plains on my way to the west coast and vlog(internetnerd) the trip. Then create a montage with this album as the soundtrack. It might get a couple thousand hits on vimeo.
