My albums of 2011: Overview & List

It's been a fair while since I've written anything about music so thought I'd write a typical end of year piece of my own. Ok, so we're well into January 2012 by now, but it's better late than never!
I don't have a defined list or have them in any kind of order, but considering the highs & lows I experienced in 2011, I thought I'd write about the music that got me through, along with some new discoveries. It's mostly albums released in 2011, with one re-issue that I now love even more, plus one classic that stands the test of time and is the most played album on my iPod in the last 12 months! Individual critiques to follow.
