... although some might disagree. But It really does deserve it's own thread. It's a simple one too. Goes like this: 2012 has been a fantastic year for music albums. There is 2 months and a bit to go but even if it gave nothing until new years day, it still given more than enough. 'Grimes' and 'Jack White' put out two solo albums worlds apart but as appealing as the other. Both 'Fiona Apple' and 'Muse' have gone into innovative new territory and kept their charm. 'Grizzly Bear' did something weird but put on one hell of atmosphere which has me thinking it was a grower. The brilliant 'Django Django' were found. 'The Men' and 'Japandroids' provided loud guitar music while 'Sleigh Bells' bloomed further with their electronic take. 'Cloud Nothings' awesome, 'Death Grips' exuberating, 'The Maccabees' dream world, 'Bruce Springsteen' triumphant, 'Metric' shiny, 'Chairlift' tantalizing. Some of my favorite artists have also put out great albums. 'Rush' although I have only listened to the first 3 songs since I got it months back (lost the CD too!) are at the top of their game, album looks very promising! 'The Cribs' come back from a rather weak album with what might their second best in my book while 'Billy Talent' continued refining their songwriting skills while turning up the amps again. 'No Doubt'... had this great come back single, some of the other songs are pretty good. Still have the Swans, Frank Ocean, Animal Collective, Tame Impala, Chromatics, The xx from the big albums of the year to listen. Expecting big things from most of those! How has the year been in the world of Hip hop, metal, pop music etc? I can't really speak for any of those as my listening is limited to a few songs and albums at best. Remember 50 years ago when there was a year called 1962? That wasn't a bad year for music as well. In fact, great things were beginning to stir that year. Perhaps the only problem with this current year is there hasn't been an explosion or a spark, just occasional lumps of greatness rolling by. Well remember all the albums we got in the 5-7 years after 1962? Could you imagine that on a much larger scale? One where the world connected could have an artist put an album up as a free download without a seconds warning? One where more people stop blindly shunning genres and listen to music for what it is worth? Could you even imagine a world where those guitar bands... well... stop taking themselves too seriously and record album after album of great music!? Could you imagine? Believe
