JR
Figured it's convenient to post lists in this thread.


Actually, I'd prefer it if each list got its own thread. They'll be easier to locate that way. Thanks for posting all these, JR!

Re: The Silent Ballet: Albums

You're welcome. I gave The Odolator and The Silent Ballet their own individual threads.

It doesn't look like Vibe has had a list; and from what I can tell, Just Press Play had a few critics post individual lists.

RE Metromix- I see A YE list on the Chicago Metromix site- is the list universal to all Metromix sites? Not sure how it works.

RE Now- like Just Press Play, it has various critics' individual lists for best albums of 2011.

Re: The Silent Ballet: Albums

For the French magazines, I saw that Tsugi, Technikart and Vibrations have lists of albums this year.
Anybody bought it ?
