The only song that I like from this year is Adele's Rolling in the Deep.

You have to like them on facebook to listen to it, but it's a good one. If you liked their Darkness, Oh Hell EP last year you'll enjoy this one. Apparently they have a new EP coming out July 19 too.

Trophy Scars have become such an amazing band. I didn't enjoy their full-lengths that much, to be honest, but that new sound (since Darkness, Oh Hell) is simply mindblowing. I can't wait for the new EP. Apparently there is an album in works too.
yeah it's a sample lol
Anyone into Yellowcard? Their new single "For You And Your Denial" is amazing.
I've been surprised how many great releases there have been this year when compared to the lackluster last year.
Cave In made a huge comeback with White Silence with the album being so far the most positive surprise of 2011 and it definitely presented an even more fortified version of an already strong and diverse post-hardcore quartet.

My softspot for melodic hardcore was filled by Times Of Grace - The Hymn Of A Broken Man. The album is severely catchy, there's no denying that. Sure, it's leaning a bit towards the mass musical industry but it shows truly great musicianship.

A simply outstanding post-rock act: Grails. I'm not a huge fan of their previous production, even though they have a bundle of amazing songs on a plethora of albums, such as Doomsdayer's Holiday. But this year they cracked the clay pot with Deep Politics. The way I see it, feel it and hear it, the album is the story of a dead town at the Western end of the world. It's not exactly a concept album but it's so well-crafted it lets your imagination fly and make it one.

Another spectacular post-hardcore release: Thursday – No Devolucion. in my opinion, their previous discopgraphy lacked personality. They had a sprinkle of it but not enough. With No Devolucion they're bringing forth something new and have added some post-rock elements into their already existent atmospheric post-hardcore sound. Definitely one of the most positive surprises of the year so far. It makes my heart feel warm when a band I used to listen to can perform something out of their box and strike my ears with it. A complete shift from their previous work and I can safely say that this turn of events was one of the best ones I have heard in a while.

One of my most expected, yet controversial releases of 2011. Blackfield's Welcome To My DNA blew me off my comfortable chair. The album with its travel thematics didn't grasp me at first. There seemed to be only one song I fully liked because it was so different from I and II. After a month of spinning it around occasionally I've learned to love it. It's a touching piece of art.

Wasting Light was a strong effort by Foo Fighters. A band that can produce consistently great albums. The atmosphere is a little different from the previous album but the shift is welcome.

Finnish melodic death metal never gets old and myGRAIN with their self-titled album makes a semi-breakthrough to a wider audience. Some of the melodies are somewhat poppy but that's mainly modern melodeath for you. If you want something heavier in terms of melodic death metal that's still 2011 and Finnish, try New World Shadows by Omnium Gatherum.

Long Distance Calling's self-titled blew the whole band away from the indredulous post-rock of 2009's Avoid The Light and started raising the roof with booming instrumental rock.

Great math metal/metalcore/whatever from TesseracT. One is, in my opinion, slightly a predecessor to last year's near-eponymous Periphery's self-titled. But TesseracT knows their djent as well and have produced an album that shifts its balance with every track and within every track.

Where is the Nicki love?? Seriously, Nicki Minaj's new single "Super Bass" is just plain awesome. she's also pretty hot in the video clip BTW.
The new Taking Back Sunday sounds alright, I'll probably get it when it comes out. Adam's voice is an improvement, I personally like his singing more refined than the whole raw thing.
i heard she secured the rights to sample that major lazer song, did she?
She samples a song by Major Lazer in her new song Who Rules the World (Girls).
Also, the Yellowcard song For You, and Your Denial is really good. Thanks for sharing. :)
I don't know if I like the new Taking Back Sunday album. :| I generally don't like the forced screaming voice that is common for screamo(ish) bands. I don't know lol. I think a lot of stuff from 05 era is better than the current stuff. Bands just aren't coming out with quality music anymore in my opinion. :\
yeaahhh on this song called "run the world". it's basically her singing over the exact same beat... might as well be some mixtape song. pretty lazy work
New Junior Boys hella danceable, Itchy Fingers a definite standout.
All the singles from Washed Out's new album sound really good, really excited for the album.
You and I
Echoes
Eyes Be Closed

The album's good. Was a little disappointed at how short it was though.
If you like your pop-punk, check out The Wonder Years - Suburbia I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing. Honestly one of the best albums I've heard in years.
The Dear Hunter- The Color Spectrum: The Complete Collection
The Dear Hunter is an Alternative Rock group with some Indie and Prog vibes too. They released 9 separate EPs with 4 tracks each, each one named for a different color of the rainbow as well as black and white. This collection compiles all of the EPs in one place. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite releases of 2011.
