Top Albums of 2010

It's that time of year again. The Top Albums of 2010. I'll list of 20-11 then write a little something for 10-1.

First a little background. This year my roommate decided to join me in doing album lists, but this year we would have a rating system. It goes a little something like this:

∑(track 1+...+track N + (N*album)/(2*N).

Or more simply, rank each song and add them up. Rate the album as a whole, taking into account flow, theme, length, etc, then multiply by the number of songs. Add that to the song rankings then divide by twice the number of songs. That way the album rating counts for half of the total rating and individual songs account for half. It's been pretty accurate. Onto the list, with each albums rating next to it.

Playlist I can't get enough of

This playlist has been playing on repeat on the iPod for the past month. It's a genius playlist generated by iTunes based of "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." by The Fall of Troy. A few songs it put in I didn't like so I trimmed it down to 22 songs. Go.

What Eric Johnson has been waiting for

After a long hiatus filled with finals, skiing, and Christmas, I'm back like Jordan for some END OF 2009 Lists. Let's start with the Best Albums of 2009.
