If you ain't listing this you ain't into rap, period:
Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music.
With all the garbage that gets released these days, especially rap music, this one stands out. Killer Mike is one of only a handful of rappers that shows real passion anymore. With no political b.s. to get in the way he can say whatever he wants, write whatever he wants, and record whatever he wants. He's doing all this himself, for himself, and the dude should be applauded for that. If only every artist could pave his own path we'd hear more records like R.A.P. Music.

Norah Jones album is very good indeed and I have been listening to Mina Tindle, she's amazing.
I'd also recommend the new ASteroids Galaxy tour album entitled: Out of frequency. It's pretty decent.

I'm not sure I would call it one of the best of the year but this has certainly been one of my personal favorites.

Lots of posts got lost in the move. Anyone have anything to add, since we lost 2 months worth of posts?
Mine that were lost (all would fall under honorable mentions at this point):
Liars - Wixiw
Father John Misty - Fear Fun
Lorn - Ask the Dust
Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan.
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (not an HM, this is top 5. Not sure where exactly yet).
And a couple new ones to add:
Lianne La Havas - Is Your Love Big Enough?
Twin Shadow - Confess
Purity Ring - Shrines
Might have missed a couple. But add **** y'all been vibing to. Lets get this thread going again.

It's early but Bloom by Beach House is definitely the best album of the year so far. My personal favorites also include Visions by Grimes, Attack on Memory by Cloud Nothings, Confess by Twin Shadow, channel ORANGE by Frank Ocean, and Kill for Love by Chromatics.
Again, it's early. There are many more releases that I'm anticipating could vie for the crown. Coexist by The xx and Until the Quiet Comes by Flying Lotus to name just a few.

I'm biased but "Life Is Good", "Channel Orange", and "God Forgives, I Don't" are my picks.
