Top albums of 2012 so far? posted by Dole at 10:20pm April 24, 2012. [del]

I know there is some interesting diversity here in the community.. what new stuff is everyone spinning lately?

I haven't really purchased that much this year so far...

Buildings - Melt Cry Sleep  (Outstanding if you're a fan of the Jesus Lizard!)
Loincloth - Iron Balls of Steel  (mind melting metal)
The Life and Times - No One Loves You Like I Do


And stuff that either hasn't come out yet or I'm behind on purchasing

Unsane - Wreck (best one trick pony in noiserock is back at it)
Spawn of Possession (the whole technical death metal genre has gotten pretty 'whatever'... but this band always destroys)
Gorguts (I don't know when this comes out.. but the legends are back!)
Future of the Left (I don't remember what it's called... but this is the best current band on the planet... for ALL tastes in music)
16 - Deep Cuts from Dark Clouds
Phantom Glue (if it's anything like the track Ross the Boss, I'll shit!  Here that here: http://phantomglue.bandcamp.com/)

Regina Spektor has a new album coming out I believe, though I wasn't super psyched on the last one.
Pinback also should have a new one out soon...

I don't know...

I'm really enjoying:

-Port Of Morrow by The Shins,

-Albatross by Big Wreck, and

-Scars & Stories by The Fray.

It's been a great year for music so far! I'm really looking forward to the new RUSH and Soundgarden albums!

 

I certainly haven't been keeping up with music as much as I normally do, but thanks for this, Dole.  I'm going to check out some of your suggestions.  Hopefully after a day or two alone in my office, I'll have an opinion. 

 

I totally forgot Soundgarden were doing an album this year!

 

Fuck off.

 

For forgetting?  Isn't that a bit harsh?  I can't even tell the difference between names that are one letter appart. 

 

:)

 

I meant fuck off as in "Seriously, they're putting out another record? Fuck off."

 

 

they already have a new single out for the Avengers movie, FREE download on iTunes!

Its called Live to Rise :D

 

Uhhhh!!!!  Winnipeg's L'viv are finally releasing an album that I'm pretty sure I heard unmixed versions of 3 years ago.  FINALLY INDEED!

Hear it!  Instrumental and amazing!  Pay what you want!

 

Thank you.  I'm really digging this, definitely Kate-style.

 

I kinda thought you might enjoy that!  AM overcast is another Winnipeg band that you might dig.  They are also on bandcamp.com.  It's very Pinback-ish at times... and Alex plays in L'Viv these days.
