Well, the year is ending and I have completed my top 25 LP's of 2011. I won't elaborate since I'm not much of a writer/reviewer, plus I seem to have very little time these days to do so between work, recording the new Mongrolls release, "Get Dumb", raking leaves, Christmas and so on...
In the list I have included one reissue, The Reactions and three 12" EP's, Crime Wave, Neighborhood Brats and Mother's Children. All worthy for the top 25!
