Best album of the year so far (2012)

[WhingForPresident]

Also, Foster the People's Album Torches is exceptional. One of those albums you can listen to over and over and over again.

Very much looking forward to Netsky's album which in May I think.

Wrecking Ball - Bruce Springsteen
Probably too mainstream for most on here but it's an amazingly good album

Are you suggesting this was a 2012 album? I may be mistaken but pretty sure it's been out a year or near on!

The 2 Bears 'Be Strong'.......very good album

I didn't know the rules of this thread were set in stone!

Killing Joke MMXII.

Listened to it a few times on Spotify,& this'll take some beating!
Officially gets released April 2nd

Agree. Amazing that a band who are into their 33rd year have produced their best albums in the last 2 years (2010's 'Absolute Dissent' - not a duff track on it - and this year's MMXII). Why does Geordie (Walker) not get the recognition he deserves for being an awesome guitarist; the heavy riffs just keep on coming! If you see them live, he makes guitar-playing look effortless, while producing a ferocious wall of sound that almost makes your ears bleed!!

The new Stranglers album 'Giants' is bloody good, too; easily their best album since the early 1980s, with Jean-Jacques Burnel's brilliant bass sound and Dave Greenfield's swirling Doors-style keyboards both making a welcome comeback.

I bought this about 3 months ago and my 9yr old son absolutely loves it, especially track 10 "Warrant".

Geordie = Genius

Haven't had a proper sit down with this album yet, but in passing it does sound very decent.


Another album I need to get hold of, this is supposed to be a good debut album;

Ginger Wildheart - 555% - Disc 1.....this will of course change on Friday when Disc 2 is released

Honourable mention to The Magnificent - Bad Lucky EP

 

[jd312]

Tribes - 'Baby'

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The 2 Bears 'Be Strong'.......very good album

Good call. I've been playing this a lot. I love Warm and Easy.

My shout is Aparrat Organ Quartet's Polyfonia.

 

[Shirty]

Band of Skulls - Sweet Sour. Good and still growing on me...

 

[Bozza]

Have we had any votes for "Whitney: the best of" yet?

 

[boik]

Goona have to be Valentina by The Wedding Present. Each new album by Gedge and co brings a fear of disappointment which never materialises.
