Re: Best Albums of 2012
You know who hates that Live To Die album? Andrew Bynum. I heard that the last time he heard it, he was so distracted, he slipped on the bowling lane and blew out his other knee.

Re: Best Albums of 2012
So, that Divine Fits single? I've heard it so many times I could've sworn I had it on my iPod. I did not. Strange.
As per usual, there's always a ton of albums that I'll see on people's lists which were unknown to me (especially <i>Black Radio</i>). Some posters mention that this wasn't a good year and their list is stuff I agree wasn't good which leads me to believe that they didn't listen to enough stuff. |
Re: Best Albums of 2012
My favorite albums of the year (so far) are:
Reign of Terror by Sleigh Bells I Like to Keep Myself In Pain by Kelly Hogan |
Re: Best Albums of 2012
It's actually tough for me to pick my favorite albums of the year because I really enjoyed a lot of what came out this year. I'm sure it helps that there were a lot of solid albums released by some of my favorite artists and groups. There were also some great sophomore releases and a few really impressive new or relatively new acts that broke through this year.
If I had to narrow it down to my top albums for 2012, I think it would end up looking something like this... Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Here Elizaveta - Beatrix Runs Mumford & Sons - Babel Ingrid Michaelson - Human Again Garbage - Not Your Kind Of People The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter Glen Hansard - Rhythm And Repose Benjamin Gibbard - Former Lives That's only eight, so I still have two spots left for an actual top ten list. But I'm not ready to pick the final two just yet, so I'll give an honorable mention to... Two Door Cinema Club - Beacon Aimee Mann - Charmer Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts Taylor Swift - Red Lana Del Rey - Born To Die Keane - Strangeland fun. - Some Nights Calvin Harris - 18 Months Eric Prydz - Pryda Ke$ha - Warrior Metric - Synthetica Of Monsters And Men - My Head Is An Animal and Kimbra - Vows were both excellent international debuts in 2011 that were released in the United States in 2012. I think they deserve special, but separate, mention since they fall into a grey area as far as release date is concerned. My favorite compilation was definitely The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond. Lots of great music on that one from a good variety of artists. I really enjoyed Bob Dylan - Tempest and The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth when I listened to them, but I just wasn't able to listen to them as critically as I'd have liked.

Re: Best Albums of 2012
In not quiet specific order, yet, but I suppose close enough with a little juggling. These are the albums I enjoyed listening to the most. I'm sure there's an album or two I might be forgetting, and there's still some new releases on the horizon, but this should about cover it.
**Fixed for proper order, and with a couple of albums I initially forgot to list... 1. The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten 2. Divine Fits - A Thing Called Divine Fits 3. Nada Surf - The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy 4. Japandroids - Celebration Rock 5. Van Halen - A Different Kind Of Truth 6. Metric - Synthetica 7. Delta Spirit - Delta Spirt 8. Muse - The 2nd Law 9. Rick Springfield - Songs For The End of The World (Yes, really. If you haven't heard it, then shut up.) 10. Bloc Party - Four 11. Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet On Sky 12. Gary Clark Jr. - Blak and Blu 13. KISS - Monster 14. Our Lady Peace - Curve 15. JD McPherson - Signs & Signifiers 16. Jack White - Blundrebuss 17. The Shins - Port Of Morrow 18. Silversun Pickups - Neck Of Woods 19. Redd Kross - Researching The Blues 20. The Cult - Chiice Of Weapon 21. John Mayer - Born And Raised 22. Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania Honorable Mention - Only because it was internationally released last year, but didn't hit the States until this... Gotye - Making Mirrors |
Re: Best Albums of 2012
Van Halen - A Different Kind Of Truth
Lee Ranaldo - Between Tims And Tides Melvins - Freak Puke Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania Jack White - Blunderbuss |
Re: Best Albums of 2012
I'm completely out of touch with current music. Here's what I see in this thread so far:
7 for Jack White - Blunderbuss 5 for Metric - Synthetica 4 for Deftones - Koi no Yokan 4 for Rush - Clockwork Angels 3 for Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet On Sky 3 for Elizaveta - Beatrix Runs 3 for Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet on Sky 3 for El-P - Cancer 4 Cure I haven't even heard of most of these bands. I got some homework to do . . . |
Re: Best Albums of 2012
I really wanted Metric's Synthetica to be in my top picks, since Fantasies is one of my favorite albums ever, but I just couldn't get into it.
But kstublen pointed out that Some Nights by fun. was released in 2012... for some reason I was convinced that came out in 2011! So I would definitely add that one to my list. |

Perhaps he has heard of the one that put out an album called I Bet On Sky, but not the other one, further down the list, that, interestingly enough, also put out an album called I Bet On Sky.

Re: Best Albums of 2012
Totally forgot about Japandroids - Celebration Rock.
