Either Watch the Throne, or Carter IV

Also, inb4 rap is bad.

Implying Jay-Z and Kanye West aren't lyrical geniuses.

I love Kanye but he's far from a lyrical genius.

Carter IV, followed by Watch the Throne. I really liked the newest 3 Doors Down album too.

Kanye West is FAR from a lyrical genius.

If someone says he is they just have their beaks wet in hip hop/rap.

I couldn't really get into Watch the Throne that much. I really have no candidate for album of the year at this time.

Since nobody ever listens to them (which is unfortunate) and their new album is very good, I'll go with the new Fair to Midland album, Arrows and Anchors. That would be followed closely by Burlap to Cashmere's new self-titled album. Worst album of the year thus far goes to the new Dredg album. Their new stuff was an incredible piece of crap.

The Mogwai album is really growing on me.

Also really enjoying this album. Not much of a metal fan but this is pure thrash nostalgia.

Good God man you have pretty much the same music taste as me, I really love that Havok album too, like you said, pure trash nostalgia, just the right vocals I find, not dodgy growling but just the right kind of "screaming". You wouldn't happen to watch theneedledrop's videos on Youtube would you?

I was surprised by game the RED album is good. i thought lax was alright but doctors advocate and documentary was good. the time leading up to red album game put out a lot of music i didnt like but his album was awsome. watch the throne. i never heard so much "im rich your not" type lyrics before lol ok we get your point jayz your richer than all other rappers. then the subliminal devil reference by jayz. damn thats his ego i wont judge or condone. tha carter iv lived up to the hype. it was not innovating in any way but its lil wayne on top of his game. TIMES ARE WEIRD THESE DAYZ - THEOPHILUS LONDON Best album of the year london created moods and emotions with this album. songs fit will together so the album can be enjoyed from start to finish. lyrics are very uplifting (nothing depressing like kid cudi). it has a small hip-hop element, the pop and rock element drives the album tho. "Lighthouse" sounds like a lighthouse, "wine and chocolate" sounds like wine and chocolates lol this album just feels so complete

A few other favorites so far are Lykke Li, Adele, and The Kills. I'm really excited for Björk and Feist later this year.

I love those albums by Lykke Li and The Kills. Wounded Rhymes is probably my second favorite album of the year, it still keeps getting better and better for me.

The only album I've heard that was actually released this year a 5 song EP (titled Inc.) by a friend of mine, Chicago based singer-songwriter Dick Prall.
