Best Albums of 2011: The Wombats - This Modern Glitch

This Modern Glitch is just The Wombats' second record and in compare to their debut A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation it has much more electronic sound and less guitars. However, there is still energy and melody in their every song. First record was really raw and basically recorded live. Second album is different - it's got many different sounds and it sounds much more colorful. Different sound is obvious right after hearing synthesizer at the beginning of the first track "Our Perfect Disease".

This record has some slow and maybe boring passages (e.g. "Anti-D", many people like this song, but not me), which is kind of shame because otherwise this record is great with many enjoyable songs ("Our Perfect Disease, "Techno Fan", "1996" or "Last Night I Dreamt"). However, as a whole, it's a great album and it definitely belongs to the Best Albums of 2011 list.
