Haven't heard it yet but probably wouldn't have included it anyway seeing as it's an EP.

fair enough.

1. Thundersword

2. Bon Iver
3. Antlers

Bon Iver's latest album is fantastic but Thundersword is once again on a level of its own. They almost surpass music and make something even greater than that.

zxlkho · « **Reply #114 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:04:34 PM »

The Color Spectrum is better than anything you can think of.

Lotion · « **Reply #115 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:10:37 PM »

For me, the best albums this year is

1) The Strokes - Angles
2) Neal Morse - Testimony 2
3)TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light

I'm not really that open minded when it comes to music, when i first get an album, I'll listen to it hundreds of times!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #116 on:** June 15, 2011, 06:17:41 AM »

I stand by Bon Iver as #1 so far.

Based on the 11 track sampler for Color Spectrum, it's nowhere near AOTY quality imo.

I would highly recommend it.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #121 on:** June 17, 2011, 02:54:22 PM »

Yeah, it's definitely on my list, I'm hoping to get onto it really soon. Listened to the Indigo EP today and enjoyed it, so the rest of them will definitely be listened to over time.

TDH and James Blake's debut are the best so far.

I have no idea who Bon Iver is actually.

Yeah it is, I've synced it up to my iPod so I'll give it a listen at some point and just wait for the new one.
