I am loving the melodies in Phideaux's Snowtorch so far.

Came to say this pretty much. Fantastic.
the magic place by julianna barwick is the most beautiful album i've heard in quite some time. my favorite of 2011 so far.
Didn't see it anywhere, but, the new Travis Barker album: Give The Drummer Some. especially the songs Just Chill, Carry It(it was nice to hear Rza and Rae on the same track), and Let's Go with Busta(good to hear him too), Twista and Yelawolf.
And I know it's a quite a bit older, but I finally got my 12" vinyl copy of Official Live Proof 101 by Pantera back. Been on nonstop repeat.

Emery- we do what we want started off so well...but then shit spiraled down into thanking jesus for fixing them or some garbage. So much for screamo, I guess this album is kinda shit anyways since it's so slow and bitchy compared to the screaming up temponess I had hoped for when they said they were returning to their roots.
Funeral for a Friend- Welcome Home Armageddon is a pretty good buy, though their EP Serpents in Solitude was better.
Within Temptation's new album was actually a lot better than the single "Faster" lead me to believe it would be. Worth a purchase!
Sum41's new single might grow on me but frankly I still find their music kinda formulaic.

Between the Buried and Me's EP is amazing... and to think it's only a prelude O.O
Downloaded House of Balloons this morning and have been listening all day. Superb!
Didnt even know they had a new album in the works, but Alison Krauss and Union Station are as great as they were 7 years ago. Not a huge bluegrass/folksy fan usually but her voice is so good and haunting and enrapturing.
Their new album Paper Planes is streaming at npr for another week:

I'm currently looking forward to releases from Amon Tobin (ISAM) and Guilty Simpson (OJ Simpmson 2), and Daedelus (Bespoke). The main released I've enjoyed from this year so far is Grooveman Spot's "Runnin' Pizza" EP.
Here's a track

I normally detest mainstream music, but GaGa's new single has grown on me. It has a positive message. Plus the bass lines and even the melody remind me of Madonna. Here's the link if anyone would like to hear it (if you haven't already in your car). I'm curious what the rest of the upcoming album will sound like.

new burial ep is sick!
Well so far for me there have been 3 major albums that have come out to this point for me so far:
Until We Have Faces - Red: I gave this one a 9/10, but I will say they are keeping consistent with there style but new enough to still enjoy, I thought they did pretty well with this album.
Endgame - Rise Against: Not bad to listen to at all I don't think but it sounds kind of samey, Satellites and Make It Stop (Septembers Children) were excellent though. 7.9/10
The Unforgiving - Within Temptation: Changing it up a bit, but I like, at first I wasn't super as fond of it, but a lot of the songs have really grown on me, terrible album cover though, I won't judge it on that though because that is not what its about. 9.6/10
I will say most new albums of bands I like have just been sellouts or just crap, I'm getting horribly dissatisfied with modern music and its getting more bland by the day. These 3 are 3 of my top 10 favorite groups so its the only reason I mentioned them.
