I haven't really listened to new releases that much this year but here goes my top 10:

1. Bob Dylan - Tempest

What can I say I'm a huge Dylan fan and the man just made one of his best albums in years.

2. The Felice Brothers - God Bless, You Amigo

This "album" was a collection of songs the band released via their website. It is a mixture of traditional folk songs and new compositions. Great stuff!

3. The Tallest Man On Earth - There's No Leaving Now

Not really his best album but excellent nonetheless.

4. Sera Cahoone - Deer Creek Canyon

Third solo album from the Seattle ex Carissa's Wierd drummer. I think it is her best one yet.

5. First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar

6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

Although half of the album Mladic and We Drift Like Worried Fire are re-workings of previously unreleased live tracks Albanian and Gamelan which I've heard dozens of times before I really liked this album. I'm really glad the band reformed and their re-union tour gig in Helsinki, Finland in 2011 is still the best live gig I've seen.

7. Two Gallants - The Bloom and the Blight

Two Gallants has been one of my favorite bands for many many years now. Their previous album was released in 2007 so I had been waiting for this fourth album for a long time. I'm glad that they delivered a solid album.

8. Ochre Room - Evening Coming In

Debut album from this folk rock/alt.country band hailings from Tampere, Finland. Really nice people also.

9. Langhorne Slim & The Law - The Way We Move

I actually couldn't think of a album number 10... goes to show how little I have actually listened to new releases this year.

big :thumb:

Considering that its 2012, I'd say top 12 is better than top 10. :tramp:

1. Suspyre - S/T
2. The Panic Division - Eternalism
3. The Night Flight Orchestra - Internal Affairs
4. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I
5. School Of Seven Bells - Ghostory
6. Big Big Train - English Electric Part One
7. Threshold - March Of Progress
8. Sonic Station - Sonic Station
9. Rick Ross - God Forgives, I Don't
10. Pallbearer - Sorrow And Extinction
11. Twelve Foot Ninja - Silent Machine
12. It Bites - Map Of The Past

:pimp:

hmm i am stuck between like 3 (4 including an electric album i heard cus my list was ment for hiphop)albums to put into the last two slots for sure.This is NOT In any order

Lil B - Gods Father ( I know you guys will be like wtf are you serious. if you need me to explain why i will lol)
Ab-Soul - Control System
Death Grips - Money Store
Lush Life - Plateau Vision
Aesop Rock - Skelethon
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City
Action Bronson - Rare Chandeliers
Captain Murphy - Duality
JJ DOOM - Key to the Kuffs
El-P - Cancer For Cure

The electronic one i was saying that i liked was Lone- Galaxy Garden. The album along with aesop and El-p i was debating on was Nas life is good a\. i still havnt really made a decision

Like what you like dude, no need to explain, it's not like you posted some generic ass list.

This one's hard to decode. Can't tell if it's sarcasm

yeah i know, and I have no problem liking what I like. But i know how some people over the internet are, they troll hard for no reason haha and when i mention that album people want an explanation sometimes and i have no problem doing so. But what you said is 100% correct and i agree with it!

I was serious. The guy only has like 15 posts but doesn't seem like a troll or anything, just a genuine guy. I think his list is quite good for a Hip Hop fan, certainly better than most of what you would find.

hahaha thank you i appreciate the compliment :)
