Though it may be slightly premature, there don't seem to be any albums coming out within the next 6 weeks that would shake up my favorite albums of the year. Plus, it would be a bold statement to place an album among the best of the year without thoroughly listening to it. Unless Radiohead really surprises us (me) and finishes their latest album before year end, here are my favorite albums of the year:
10. Minus the Bear - OMNI
9. Los Campesinos - Romance is Boring
8. Ray Lamontagne - God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise
7. Deftones - Diamond Eyes
6. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
5. Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
4. Arcade Fire - Suburbs
3. The Black Keys - Brothers
2. Spoon - Transference
1. Beach House - Teen Dream
