Best albums of the last few years...

[Elite]

Not really listened much new music for a while.

 

Listen The Lumineers album the other day and thought it was good. As is the Arctic Monkeys new album.

 

So what recent-ish albums are worth a listen?

[Bjornebye]

How recent are you talking? since 2010? Or the last 12 months? 

 

For me,

 

Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds

 

The Black Keys 

 

Arctic Monkeys

 

In that order for the past 12/18 months. 

 

A new band called the Temples are excellent too. If you like psychedelic music. 

[Kemlyn King]

Kurt Vile - Wakin on a pretty daze

[Stu Monty]

I've currently got the recent Savages album on heavy rotation and I'm loving it. Best description I can give is PJ Harvey knocking out some Joy Division tracks:

Yes, 100%. Took them from a supporting band to a headline band for me that album did. Very good live act.

Not really the tunes that did it, it was the marketing budget that someone decided to throw at them that did that. Someone at a record company decided, for some reason, this was the album to make them famous. Could have been done an a few of the previous ones. Odd world; music.

[Adebisi]

Haven't had  a chance to listen to enough this past year because my laptop died, but these are some of the albums I've bought recently and enjoyed
Ty Segal Band - Slaughterhouse 
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
Deerhunter - Monomania
Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin
Kurt Vile - Walking on a Pretty Daze
Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt
Iceage - You're Nothing
My Bloody Valentine - mbv
Goat - World Music
Arctic Monkeys - AM

 

[Sugar Ape]

That aside, it's a good album though, isn't it Stu?

Arctic Monkeys last two albums I count as recent and highly recommend them.

 

These are off the top of my head. I've enjoyed the Vaccines stuff too. It's probably quite obvious where my taste in music lies.
