The Best Albums of 2011... So Far

This year is halfway done. Weird. This year already seems different than last year. WAY DIFFERENT. For the first time, the top 5 is not surrounded by huge stars (e.g. Kanye West, Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem, Big Boi, Arcade Fire), but it's surrounded by mostly newcomers. This year's list includes artists that are releasing new stuff on a big label or just new stuff altogether. I'm here to bring you the 20 of the year... so far. (P.S.: No description really. At least not 'till the end of the year. Until then, stare at the picture and download it.)

List starts after the jump.
