Best of 2011

 #4 - 40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

When I first spun this it didn’t quite click. But as the year limped on, I kept listening to it and it started to melt into my perception of what 2011 was. This album is pure pain and longing drowning in subterranean distortion, guided by someone who has a better grasp on writing hooks than anyone in the business. I sang along to this album more than any other in the past year and every time it left me right on the edge of an emotional breakdown. I’m so happy the Warning crew is back picking up where they left off. Picking up the task of bringing grown men to tears.
