I migliori album del 2011 (1° semestre) – lista di Zago

Negli anni ’70 doveva essere molto più facile stare dietro alle varie uscite discografiche. Oggi nel 2011, grazie soprattutto ad internet, c’è spazio per tutti e questo si trasforma in un numero enorme di dischi che, o per il valore artistico o per l’aspetto mediatico, bisognerebbe comunque cercare di ascoltare.

In questi primi sei mesi dell’anno sono usciti centinaia e centinaia di album… come sempre ho provato ad ascoltarne il più possibile, ma sicuramente mi sarà sfuggito più di un disco degno di nota. Di seguito trovate i dieci album che hanno ricevuto le migliori valutazioni all’interno della rubrica “Uscite Discografiche“, mentre dopo il salto la lista completa degli album trattati (meglio armarsi della funzione di ricerca del browser).

Radiohead – The King of Limbs

James Blake – James Blake

Bon Iver – Bon Iver, Bon Iver

PJ Harvey – Let England Shake

The Antlers – Burst Apart

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

Panda Bear – Tomboy

Wild Beasts – Smother

Destroyer – Kaputt

Esben and the Witch – Violet Cries
