Now
that I've wrapped the year-end song list, it's time
that I share with you 25 albums that you may want to
check out. Below is the first part.
Enjoy.
- 25 Through 21 -
#25) The Dead Weather - Sea Of Cowards
This one caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting all that much, but
the band actually put out a much improved sophomore effort. Definitely
a super fun listen with the highlights being Alison Mosshart's sexy vocals
and Jack White's unhinged music.

Dead Weather - Gasoline:
#24) Autolux - Transit Transit
I have to admit I'm a little torn on this album. I listened to it a
ton and I think that Autolux once again proved that they're fantastic at
crafting sonically interesting material, but the jaded-by-the-wait part of
me wants to say this sounds like the follow-up to Future Perfect that
should not have taken five years to make.

#23) The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt
As I said in my year-end song list, Kristian Matsson was the best that 2010
had to offer in regards to folk music. Personally, I find this album
to be rather accessible, so even if you're not a fan of the genre you should
still seek it out and give it a least one listen.

Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt:
#22) Best Coast - Crazy For You
Despite having what I'm calling Best Coast burnout over the last month or
two, I still think that this is a really nice full length that features
nothing but fuzzy pop gems from beginning to end. Now if only I could
figure out where the band will go from here.

Coast - Boyfriend:
#21) The Sword - Warp Riders
If you come here enough then you're probably aware of the fact that metal
isn't a genre that gets posted on a lot. It's just not my thing.
The Sword, however, fucking rock and this riffy beast of an album is a blast
to listen to. You should give it a shot.

Sword - Lawless Lands:
