Top 10 LP’s 2011 #1: In The Grace of Your Love ~ The Rapture

I was planning to write a lot about this album as it has been in constant rotation all year and I have been waiting to post more about it until this list. However my sister got into town yesterday for NYE and my birthday and I am really fucking hungover. Also my cat had a seizure this morning so its been a weird day. Anyway what I will say is that one of the marks of a great album is that it continues to unfold subtly across many listens and The Rapture have managed to do that here. In The Grace of Your Love has all these little intricate details that contribute seamlessly to the overall effect of each song but also provide a depth that keeps the album continually fresh. Moreover it is an album that sounds just as good when you’re on the subway as it does in a quite room. Just rad.

Additionally The Rapture are Webster Hall was my concert experience of the year.
