Top 100 Music Albums of 2011
by travelful

2011 snapshot.

Every album I listen to will be included on here, even if I hated it. You may also notice some higher rated albums in the comments, while some albums I hated are still featured in the chart. This is because I create my yearly charts as "snapshots" of the music scene from that year. From these I create my decade charts, where you will find no filler. Basically anything rated 60% or higher I recommend depending on your tastes.

other albums heard in 2011:

-The Beach Boys's 'The Smile Sessions' -- 8.5-9/10. I didn't include it in here just because it's an archival album that has technically been released more than once in the past. If it were completed in 1967 as intended, it would be hard to imagine it would be anything less than a 10 album, and would likely blow out not only Pet Sounds, but Sgt. Peppers as well.
-Ed Sheeran's '+' - 2.5/10
-Mac Miller's 'Best Day Ever' mixtape -- 3.5/10
-Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's collab album is only good for "Young, Wild & Free".
- Ty Segall "Goodbye Bread" - 5/10
-Wiz Khalifa's 'Cabin Fever' mixtape -- 2.5/10

Not something I would want to really listen too unless playing Skyrim. However, this is seriously a flawless soundtrack for one of the greatest games in history. Soule couldn't have done a better job, and although this isn't something I would include in my overall chart, I think it's necessary to document in the year of release. A truly stunning job. The 42 minute track "Skyrim Atmospheres" alone is a seriously top tier ambient piece.
