The best Albums and Tracks of 2010
…so far, in my opinion:
ALBUMS:
1. Broken Bells – Broken Bells
2. Wild Nothing – Gemini
3. Phantogram – Eyelid Movies
4. The Morning Benders – Big Echo
5. Beach House – Teen Dream
6. Surfer Blood – Astro Coast
7. 22-20s – Shake / Shiver / Moan
8. Neon Trees – Habits
9. Yeasayer – Odd Blood
10. Local Natives – Gorilla Manor
Most over-hyped:
1. Vampire Weekend – Contra
2. The Black Keys – Brothers
3. MGMT – Congratulations
Biggest disappointment:
1. Blitzen Trapper – Destroyer of the Void
Fun fact: Broken Bells’ and Wild Nothing’s albums are the only albums where ALL the tracks have 5 stars ratings from me. There’s not a single weak track in these two albums.
TRACKS:
1. Beach House – Norway
2. Broken Bells – The High Road
3. Wild Nothing – Confirmation
4. Surfer Blood – Harmonix
5. 22-20s – Latest Heartbreak
6. Phantogram – When I’m Small
7. Scanners – Salvation
8. Tame Impala – Solitude Is Bliss
9. Laura Veirs – Wide-Eyed, Legless
10. Neon Trees – In the Next Room
Runner up:
Ke$ha – Take it Off [I’m serious, it’s a great dance track]
Fun fact: When I first heard Beach House’s “Norway”, I hated it. In fact, I tweeted about how much fucked up it was (I made a joke about their “broken keyboards”). Now, every time I hear it, it wakes up my romantic side and almost makes me cry.

Just wanted to say that I grabbed the new Cloud Cult album Light Chasers and have been really enjoying.
Now off to listen to the albums on your list.. you tend to have great taste.
Phantogram – When I’m small is shockingly good! It gets you instantly. Thanks a lot for the tip, Eugenia. Love your taste in music.
