2010 was a weird year for music. Lots of pretty good stuff, but nothing big and huge that blew my socks off. Compared with last year it was kind of dull. That’s to take nothing away from the greatness of the albums on this list, though. Highly recommended if you want to try out something you haven’t already!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

• Placebo – Battle for the Sun Redux (Old but remastered/remixed and some new songs)
  
• Deathgaze – Bliss Out (Awesome, but too new to fully judge)
  
• Jimmy Eat World – Invented (Awesome, but too new to fully judge)
• Linkin Park – A Thousand Suns (Awesome, but too new to fully judge)
• Rurutia – Behind the Blue (EP)
