Paul Weller's new album is great,not as good as his last or even his better solo albums but its 'The Modfather' so it's probably better than 99% of the other albums released so far this year.

After a quick listen to it, it didn't blow me away. Not as good as his mid 90s solo work but better than Wake Up The Nation.

I sadly haven't heard that many albums from this year so far, but here's my very short list for best of the year:
1. John Talabot- Fin
2. Chromatics- Kill for Love
3. Sharon Van Etten- Tramp
4. Julia Holter- Ekstasis
5. Sleigh Bells- Reign of Terror
Top Songs
1. Chromatics- "Kill for Love"
2. Usher- "Climax"
3. John Talabot- "Destiny"
I don't know where to put Burial's EP Kindred, as that is one of the best releases of the year as well. I've got a lot of catching up to do, so hopefully there will be some changes to this list, but I think it will be hard to change the top 2 albums and my top song. |

To be honest it had the same impact on me,but it's Weller so I couldn't knock it.Still think it's one of the best albums i've listened to from 2012.But I'd still place at least a dozen other Paul Weller/Jam albums above it.Did you not rate Wake Up The Nation?Thought it was quality myself.

i've found 2012 weaker than a weak 2011 so far. i've found only about 15 albums worth listening to and only 3 worth noting in a premature "best of 2012":
01 fun. "some nights"
02 cloud nothings "attack on memory"
03 chairlift "something"

If anyone's wondering about Nicki Minaj's new album, it's just not as good as her previous effort.
It's just.... less fun. I think she sold out
