Critical Mob’s Top 10 Albums of 2010
Musically, 2010 was a year of youth and vitality. There were plenty of high-profile superstar releases--one even made our list!--but over half of the artists landed here with their first or second album, and two others (including our #1 pick) with their third. This bodes well for 2011 and beyond.
