Best Albums of 2012???

What do Newschoolers think is the best album of 2012? Doesnt matter what genre, it can be any album.

Mine would have to be:

The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (hate me for it)

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

and to switch it up a bit... Night Visions by Imagine Dragons
 
I would definitely agree with GKMC, don't really listen to many other types of music nowadays, but I'm interested to hear what else is out there.

Totally didn't see Macklemore being first on the list when I clicked on this thread...

Babel-Mumford & Sons

Aim and Ignite-Fun.

That second one's not even from 2012 but fuck you.
 
Albums/Artists that caught my eye

Purity RingFirst Aid Kit

Frank Ocean

Passion Pit

TNGHT

Father John Misty
 
lolyea Also R.A.P. Music by Killer Mike, which is what I posted, but the images didn't work.
 
GOOD music, Cruel Summer - awesome but too much was released early

Kendrick Lamar, GKMC - just fucking awesome

Passion Pit, Gossamer - purty good
 
I enjoy Frank Oceans Channel Orange. Good music to cruise and smoke too. And Night Visions by Imagine Dragons is pretty good as well
 
The Carpenter-The Avett Brothers

Blunderbuss-jack White

The Lumineers self titled album

My Head is an Animal-Of Monsters and Men

Carry Me Back-Old Crow medicine Show

O Be Joyful-Shovels and Rope

Uncaged-Zac Brown Band
 
This so much. I've probably listened to the boxer 1000 times. And it was my dads favorite song when he was younger too which I think is pretty cool
 
lonerism- tame impalafear fun- father john misty

bloom- beach house

psychic denim- cosmonauts

tight knit- vetiver

oshin- diiv

all i can think of off the top of my cranium

oh and shameless self promotion but I just finished my first album: Songs you can't dagger to.
 
Good Kid M.A.A.D. City - Kendrick Lamar

Long.Live.A$AP - A$AP Rocky (leak obviously)

Cruel Summer - Good Music

Black Magic EP - Kill The Noise

Clairty - Zedd

 
Anyone who thinks the GOOD Music Compilation was one of the top hip hop albums of 2012, much less albums in general of 2012, needs to get their hearing checked. About 50% of that album was fantastic, the other 50 was absolutely awful.
 
Rush - Clockwork Angels

Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes

Alcest - Les Voyages de l'Âme

The Mars Volta - Noctourniquent

Sigur Ros - Valtari

DIIV - Oshin

Nas - Life Is Good
 
How the shit has no one said ∆ - An Awesome Wave yet?! That and Aesop Rock - Skelethon are, in my opinion, the best albums of the year hands down.
 
Mala - Mala In Cuba

Julia Holter - Ekstasis

Pinch - Fabriclive 61, Electronic Explorations 226

Shangaan Lake

Ital - Hive Mind

Actress - R.I.P

Blackest Ever Black - Black Rain reissue

Kahn - MEDI064, BOXCL009, HOTLINE001, BANDULU001

etc

albums/releases/mixes...whatever, so much good shit this year
