《The Big Roar》
The Joy Formidable

The Joy Formidable may have released rollicking tracks like "Austere," "Whirring" and "Cradle" over the past few years, but in 2011, the songs found a proper home, "The Big Roar."
The Joy Formidable乐团在过去的年中可能发行了像《严峻》、《呼呼地飞》和《摇篮》这样喧闹的专辑。但是在2011年，他们找到了新的风格，于是《大吼》出现。

《James Blake》
James Blake 詹姆斯·布雷克

After generating some buzz through a series of experimental EPs in 2010, British producer James Blake issued a full-length gem that explored the boundaries between dissonant dubstep music and hushed, intensely personal songwriting.

《Ceremonials》
Florence + The Machine

In 2010, Florence + the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" lit a spark that quickly spread to wildfire and the British chamber-pop group followed up with this fall's "Ceremonials." "Ceremonials" is an album about love, tribal drums, harps, piano, choral singsongs, and of course, Ms. Welch's bewitching pipes. 
2010年，Florence + The Machine的专辑《狗般的日子已经过去了》星星之火迅速燎原。随之，这只英国的室内乐团今年秋天推出了专辑《典礼》。《典礼》是一张包含爱、部落鼓、竖琴、钢琴、唱诗班唱法以及韦尔奇女士销魂的管乐的专辑。

《David Comes To Life》

《Take Care》
Drake 德雷克

 "Take Care" is a long, contemplative album, but its combination of street-rap, pop and R&B makes the trip into the Toronto rapper's fragile psyche worth every penny.
《保重》是一张长而带着沉思的专辑。但是它作为街头饶舌、流行和蓝调的结合物使得这场进入这位多伦多饶舌歌手脆弱的灵魂之旅非常物有所值。

《21》
Adele

Adele killed it in 2011，the polished album '21' transcended the pop world. "21" showcased not only the emotional songwriting of Adele Atkins but also the British songstress' incredible vocal range. Released in February stateside, "21" did not fade by mid-year. Adele remained on top -- both on our charts and well, in our hearts. "21" became one of those very rare moments in the music world where an album is as commercially successful as it is critically praised, not to mention beloved by fans across all demographics. It's no wonder "21" was voted as the best album of 2011 by Billboard editors, and won by a landslide.
2011年Adele红翻了！这张精心录制的专辑《21》超越了流行界。《21》不仅仅展示了Adele自己充满情感的创作还体现了这名英国女歌手惊人的声音跨度。这张专辑在二月份在美国发行，但是到了年中《21》仍然没有消声觅迹。Adele还依然保持一线额位置，在排行中同样在我们心中。《21》是音乐界少有的叫好又叫座的专辑，更不要提全世界各地歌迷对她以及这张专辑的挚爱。《21》被公告牌评选为2011年最佳专辑一点也不意外，而且还是大获全胜！
