Metafile: 2011 New Records
For reissues and compilations, click

This is boilerplate . . . (or should be).
When I published
Metacritic Results on Jan. 16, 2012, I thought I was done with this,
but I guess not. I subsequently (Jan. 23) tacked on the Pazz & Jop
results, then when I started working on a
2012 metacritic file I started finding things
I had missed here.
