The best albums of 2010, in your opinion.

Only two.

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Blood and Fire
The Coral - Butterfly House

The XX was released in 2009 by the way.
 
The Coral - butterfly house. made me fall in love with this band again after some patchy previous albums. think it's even better than their debut. classic.
 
the only album i bought this year was arcade fire, the suburbs

anodyne is a good shout too

i'm still waiting for an alternative dance classic since geogaddi.
 
An australian band called Tame Impala brought out a brilliant debut album called 'Innerspeaker' which has a really 60's physchedlic feel to it while at the same time feeling very modern.

Give them a listen if you have a few spare minutes-

I didn't like the new School of Seven Bells nearly as much as the old one, but I'm always glad to see them mentioned.

and I thought the deadmouse album was a travesty compared to the last. I'm just too old and miserable these days.



matthew dear, foals, four tet, hot chip, the books, crystal castles

great stuff from established cross-over electronic/indie/experimental artists.

techno wise;

actress (a lesson in perfecting the wrong way, keep the curtains shut, don't let the light in.)
shed (mid 90's utopian dream-melodies with heavy '10 production, too damned short and insubstantial, can't go on the list)

mauritz von oswald trio - live (dad's been at the acid again)

some ambient stuffs;
Rafael Anton Irisarri - The North Bend (the lost memory of seeing a better, more optimistic life slip away)
Saito Koji - Ocean, (<-insert alpha wave here->)
Xela - The Sublime, (old testament magick tales, evil wins, of course)
Taylor Deupree - Shoals (alkaseltzer orchestra playing correspondance chess)



shigeto - full circle ('boring' downtempo no more. perfect dream logic ftw)



but after not much thought the prize goes to;

Hammock - Chasing after shadows / Longest Year (who needs a life or any of that anyway? more opiates please, this dream is getting better...)

It didn't even make the NME's Top 50. I doubt the band gave a shit - but it's a criminally underrated record already.

It's an album I'll never get bored of listening to.
