Top 100 Music Albums of 2012 by travelful

2012 snapshot.

Every album I listen to will be included on here, even if I hated it. You may also notice some higher rated albums in the comments, while some albums I hated are still featured in the chart. This is because I create my yearly charts as "snapshots" of the music scene from that year. From these I create my decade charts, where you will find no filler. Basically anything rated 60% or higher I recommend depending on your tastes.

other albums heard in 2012:

-Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso - 'Lord of The Fly' - light 6
-First Aid Kit's 'The Lions Roar" - 5/10
-Sufjan Steven's 'Silver & Gold' -- if its Christmas Eve/Day then sure, otherwise probably not.
- The Shins - 'Port Of Morrow' - strong 4 - light 5
-Ty Segall Band's 'Slaughterhouse' - decent 6
-Voices From The Lake self titled - decent 6

'We Drift Like Worried Fire' had some really excellent moments, but overall it's not a very strong record.

Experimental Rock, Post-Rock

Honestly I just can't be bothered with this album. At two hours of length, even the parts I find enjoyable are just counteracted by repetitive & unpleasant noise. It's challenging and I respect the band for always being original, but I will never be in the mood to put this thing on. If I somehow make it half way through "93 Ave" will convince me to change albums its so unbearable.

Pop, conscious hip-hop

as someone who doesn't like much radio-pop music parts of this makes me happy. however, as a hip hop head this embarrasses me.
