Sometimes you never know what you're gonna like until you listen to it. There are those albums that come out of nowhere and you fall in love with. I always have a few every year that sneak into my top 10. Well thus far this year, my list is heavily populated with albums I had no initial interest in at the start of the year (and others I had no idea existed). Without further adieu, here are numbers 11-25 (unranked) to hold you over while I prepare the top 10. I've included my favorite tracks from each album as a starting point to YouTube and get your feet wet (if you're into that kind of thing).
