I don’t feel like I listened to enough new music in 2012 to make my own top albums of the year list.
Since I’m addicted to Reddit I’ll share their list instead:
- Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid M.A.A.D. City
- Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange
- Tame Impala’s Lonerism
- Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ The Heist
- Of Monsters and Men’s My Head Is an Animal
- Jack White’s Blunderbuss
- Grizzly Bear’s Shields
- Alt J’s An Awesome Wave
- Beach House’s Bloom
- The Lumineers’ The Lumineers
- The xx’s Coexist
- Purity Ring’s Shrines
- Passion Pit’s Gossamer
- Japandroids’ Celebration Rock
- The Shins’ Port of Morrow

My Top 10 of 2010.
Reddit’s 2010 Top Albums.
Best Albums of 2011.
I gotta admit, the only one I’ve heard is the BEACH HOUSE album. I like that one.
I’ve heard about half of them, but I guess I don’t feel strongly enough about them to do a whole list… I’m not sure I’ve even heard 10 new albums this year.
I would say, if I had to pick one album that has stood out for me it’d be the Tame Impala album. But even that one I’m not sure how strongly I feel just yet, need to give it some more listens.
