My 5 favourites from my 2012 list on iTunes
Mestis - Basal Ganglia
Periphery II
Above the Earth
BTBAM - Parallax II
Meshuggah - Koloss

BTBAM being the best album I've ever heard by a mile.

Sadly, I think this thread has probably highlighted that I haven't listened to enough new music in 2012. The only albums I can think of off the top of my head that I've heard this year AND are new are Epicloud and Koi No Yokan, both of which were massive dissapointments. Also listened to Koloss but not arsed about Meshuggah.

I'd say the only album I've heard and liked was Eremita by Ihsahn. Even then, wasn't exactly a classic. I've got the Storm Corrosion CD but haven't given it a proper listen yet so can't really say

I vote that 2012 wasn't a great year for music

[JLP2005]

Yob - Atma
In Mourning - The Weight of Oceans
