Roadburn’s Album of the Day has become a tradition. Now that the year is drawing to a close, we here at Roadburn HQ want to invite our loyal readers, friends, associates and anyone who might have wandered in to help us compile a list of favorite records released in 2011.
The year was filled with tons of great doom, drone, psychedelica, heavy ’70s, space rock, post rock and avant-metal releases, and it will be interesting to see how it narrows down to 10 favorites.
Add your top 10 Roadburn-worthy albums to the comments section and we’ll do the rest. Please be sure to post your picks by Monday, January 2nd. We’ll unveil the final list for 2011 in the second week of the New Year.
