As for metal, I went through the stereogum best metal album and listened to a few different albums there. Some of the ones I liked:
Inter Arma: Sky Burial Windhand: Soma Wolvserpent: Perigaea Antahkarana Skeletonwitch: Serpents Unleashed

I just came across Windhand the other day and really dug Soma as well. I was about to post it up on here and NewChief beat me to the punch. |

I was surprised to see that TesseracT's Altered State and Steven Wilson's The Raven That Refused to Sing were excluded from your top selections. Otherwise, absolutely phenomenal selections as always, Reaper.
(As an aside, after the release of Sunbather, I can not contain my fangirl-like excitement to see Deafhaven in Lawrence this spring.) |

Agreed. I really, really expected VW to take a step back with a third album, but it's become my favorite of theirs by far, and VW has pretty much been the soundtrack to my family's life for the last 5 years. Just this morning, my 8 year old was making his breakfast and singing "Step."

I'll also say that this was either a really good year in electronic music, or it was the year that electronic music began to grow on me. I listened to a LOT of electronic type shit (Burial, Disclosure, Darkside, Oneohtrix Point Never, etc...) this year.

Deafheaven reminds me of City of Caterpillar.
That's a throw-back and a half to a different time in my life. Enjoyable listen. |

Nicolas Jaar's first full length album was one of my favorites of 2011, but I think this Darkside project might be even better.

Listened to it again today. It's fantastic. Have you listened to the latest Burial EP? Crazy good. Halfway through the third track.... Tears.

I really don't care for Vampire Weekend. They do nothing for me.

I enjoyed it but not as much as some of his previous stuff. I did give it only a single cursory listen though so I'll have to return to it when I get the chance.
