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.

Watch new Lana Del Rey's leaked music video

Lana Del Rey's new music video for her title track of her new album "Born To Die" has leaked online. You can now watch it on russian Web site. The video cost much more money than low-budget, but great-looking video for "Video Games". However, was it worth the money?

Anyway, the singer herself wrote on Facebook about her video leaking following:

"Generally, I'm a man of few words, but I will say that this video is the most beautiful thing I've ever done. I hope you like it - this isn't the time or way I wanted to show you the video but I'm in Beijing with no access to social media, and the videos been leaked from Russia so someone is posting this for me."

Her debut album Born To Die will be out on January 30, 2012.

Best Albums of 2011: The Black Keys - El Camino

I know that this album came out only last week (December 2), but I fell in love with it after first listen. And now I just can't stop listening to this great record. I gotta admit that I got to this band only like 6 months ago, but that doesn't mean I don't know them well.

This blues-rock duo have been on the scene 10 years now and they are getting bigger and bigger (they are set to go on tour next year and they've sold out Madison Square Garden in 15 minutes!). One of the reasons these guys are successful is their really catchy style. They don't play too difficult songs (maybe they used to on their first records), but now they play songs that just go straight to the point. They recently added keyboards on their last two records and I like this change in compare to their previous records, It makes their sound better.

El Camino is fast and short record, but it isn't monotonous. It's got slow songs and also fast songs and great atmosphere. Whole record just make you wanna go to rock concert, drink and just have fun. The most favorite songs on this album for me are "Lonely Boy" (probably the catchiest song), "Gold On The Ceiling" and "Run Right Back", which has awesome guitar.

This record is really fun to listen. It is easy record, but very enjoyable.
