10 Albums per update
30.
Drink. Sing. Live. Love-Versus The World
July 31, 2012
-An album with great energy and good hooks which is not surprising to me as the band consists of The Ataris' former bassist, Mike Davenport.
Listen to: A Fond Farewell

Babel-Mumford & Sons
Sept. 21, 2012
Living Things-Linkin Park
June 20, 2012
-Ok, so there is no other way to explain this but I made a mess on my list and had some error in numbering which lead to having both of these albums having to share a spot since I can't just bump of any of the remaining 29 albums further in the list. I would put Linkin Park album on top of M&S though. Babel was a decent follow-up to their previous album but it just lacks something that makes it special. LP, on the other hand puts out a fairly solid album that's even better than their previous album.
Listen to: Lover Of The Light and Castle Of Glass

Lost In Paradise-Faber Drive
Aug. 28, 2012
-A fun and upbeat album. Reminds me a bit of Hedley, not to mention that Dave sounds similar to Jacob and they're both Canadian bands.
Listen to: Too Little Too Late
27.
El Camino-The Black Keys
Dec. 6. 2011 +
-This is the first album I've heard from them in full and I did not regret it. It already charted on my countdown last year but now it's charting again at a higher position because it really deserves to.
Listen to: Sister
26.
Dead Silence-Billy Talent
Sept. 11, 2012
-A very heavy album loaded with good riffs and interesting lyrics.
Listen to: Swallowed Up By The Ocean
25.
Dos!-Green Day
Nov. 9, 2012
-Second appearance from this band in the albums chart. The theme of this album was supposedly to reflect a grage/pop punk type of sound and they did exactly that. The album may sound different from their previous music but they still retain that spunk that I love. Probably the best in the trilogy in terms of instruments.
Listen to: Stray Heart
24.
Wasted Youth-Go Periscope
July 31, 2012
-They're an electro/indie rock band and this album is filled with eargasmic songs. It's quite futuristic and shows their creativity.
Listen to: Wasteland
23.
Uno!-Green Day
Sept 24, 2012
-Final appearance for the band in the albums chart which makes them the artist with the most appearances on the albums chart. The first part of the trilogy is supposedly to reflect a classic pop/punk sound. Some may disagree but I prefer this one over the two, it's Uno>Dos>Tre for me. Especially since this reminds me of the GD music I love.
Listen to: Kill The DJ
22.
Under Fire-Green River Ordinance
Feb. 28, 2012
-I discovered them after being recommended by ARTM's Nick Santino and I was impressed. I love the diversity where the band's different influences from pop to rock and some folk are shown and I also find the vocals and the instruments amazing.
Listen to: Dark Knight

Miles Away From Anywhere-Afterglow Radio
Jan. 3, 2012
-I did not know who they were but when I started listening to the first track, I thought Kris Allen was singing which is also an indication that this is good. I simply love the melodies on the songs and the vocals are great here. It's an album that mostly contains songs about love and relationships. I still have yet to listen to their previous album though.
Listen to: Going
