Best of 2011: Chul Gugich’s Top 15 Albums of the Year
My Best Albums of 2011 list coagulated over the course of the last three weeks or so.

The Physics – Love is a Business
Score: 9.0/10 Self Released The Physics “We don’t do it the same,” The Good Sin croons on the chorus of “Seward Park,” off The Physics’ sophomore full-length Love is a Business. His assertion is correct -- there is something different about this song and this particular collection of soulful, mature raps -- but what exactly is singular is difficult to pinpoint. LIAB certainly [...]
