In an effort to organize myself the arduous task called ''Best Albums in 2011'', I have, here, a list of all albums released in 2011 that I have listened to.
01. let England shake by pj harvey
Key Tunes: england, on battleship hill, the colour of the earth

Take an artist, any artist, with loads of great albums. Picture that catalog and all its high points. Now imagine me telling you that that very artist has yet to release their best record. Chances are, you wouldn't believe me. I wouldn't believe me. But here we have PJ Harvey who, after two decades of releasing great - even classic, in some cases - records, has released what could very likely go down as her signature record. It's the music. It's the singing. It's the writing. It's the strange ornamentation. Everything comes together here to form a solid, memorable work that ups the ante for anyone trying to make a serious album made to move and inspire. Let England Shake is one odd album, but for me it's become a necessary one.
all and everyone:
„Death was everywhere,
in the air
and in the sounds
coming off the mounds
of Bolton's Ridge.
Death's anchorage.
When you rolled a smoke
or told a joke,
it was in the laughter
and drinking water
it approached the beach
as strings of cutters,
dropped into the sea and lay around us.“
02. bon iver, bon iver by bon iver
Key Tunes: holocene, calgary, perth
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519INieOT3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg
michicant:
„Aiming and it sunk and we were drunk and we had fleshed it out
nose up in the globes, you never know if you are passing out
no it wasn’t maiden-up, the falling or the faded luck
hung up in the ivory, both were climbing for a finer cause
love can hardly leave the room
with your heart.“
03. build a rocket boys! by elbow
Key Tunes: dear friends, the night will always win, lippy kids
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Pyjvqv7KL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
open arms:
„We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again.“
