Bon Iver s/t (Jagjaguwar)
Bon Iver’s follow up to their debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, expands on his minimalist sound.
Jill Scott The Light of the Sun (Warner Bros.)
A record of the rocky road to empowerment.
Simple Plan Get Your Heart On! (Atlantic)
These pop punk songs only take themselves half-seriously, with names like “You Suck at Love” and cheeky lyrics that compare a new relationship to being “stuck like two pieces of Velcro.”
"Weird Al" Yankovic Alpocalypse (Volcano)
Alpocalypse fits the Yankovic album template splendidly, offering a great gut busters-to-groaners ratio, and featuring one of the best pop-in-a-polka-style medleys in the man’s catalog, “Polka Face.”
Dave Alvin Eleven Eleven (Yep Roc)
Americana
LMFAO Sorry for Party Rocking (Interscope)
Dance-Pop
OK Go 180/365 (Paracadute)
Alternative/Indie Rock
Pitbull Planet Pit (RCA)
Pop-Rap
Saigon The Greatest Story Never Told (Suburban Noize) (Released earlier this year)
It took a long time for the Entourage cast member to move from what some figured was a fictional character to debut-releasing rapper. It was worth the wait. Great production work compliments diverse lyricism from the Brooklyn MC.
