1. Drop the Lime - We Never Sleep
Bmore, Dubstep, and Jungle influenced Breakcore artist. Perfect club album.
2. MSTRKRFT - The Looks
Best Electro album of last year.
3. Plastic Little - She's Mature
Bmore-style joke rappers from Philly.
4. Daedelus - Denies the Day's Demise
LA-based Hip Hop-influenced Electronic artist. Beautiful album.
5. The Rapture - Pieces of the People We Love
Excellent follow-up by one of the better Dance-Punk banRAB.
6. Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Pitchfork-approved mashup album by a scientist from Philly.
7. The Changes - Today Is Tonight
Indie Rock that's better than most blog buzz banRAB.
8. The Presets - Beams
Excellent Electro album by an Australian duo. They played Daft Punk in the middle of their set when I saw them live, so they must be good.
9. Magic People - Keen Whips I'd Wear As Rubies
Noise Rock band from Boston. More accessible than the Locust.
10. Tiga - Sexor
Electro Pop album by the guy that got famous for covering "Hot In Herre" and "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night."
11. Hot Chip - The Warning
Really fun Electro Pop album, slightly laidback.
12. Hanne Hukkelberg - Rykestrasse 68
Kind of Experimental Norwegian Indie Pop. Bjork-ish.
13. Cex - Actual ****ing
Former Breakcore artist finRAB band, makes excellent Electro Pop-ish album.
14. Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYo
Great Bmore Rap album. Kind of watered down compared to most Bmore, but he's probably the most famous artist to come out of it now.
15. Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye
Really good Canadian Electro Pop album. I preferred their first, but this is still a good album.
16. Beno

serious??...i have heard a bunch of people say that, but i have no idea why. Its definatly my favourite album of the last 2 or 3 years. Its nice to see that someone is still tryin to evolve with hip hop, instead of puttin out the same recycled sh*t that is always put out
 
That's definitely true! I didn't mean to insinuate that either.

And RT... I know -hearts-
They also deserve extra credit for their art section on the website. Which has f*ck nothing to do with music. :)
