2012 In Music

[Samilktray]

Best album of the year so far, by a long way for me.

[The Doctor]

So, a stream of Muse's new album: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2012/sep/24/muse-2nd-law-album-stream?fb=native

The usual kitchen sink + a bit more from them then... Not quite sure what to think.

It's different - but that's what I come to expect of Muse. 'Follow Me', 'Save Me' and 'Survival' are the best tracks on the album after first listen I think.

I cannot stress enough how good this album is:

Obviously, Grizzly Bear have listened quite a lot to Pink Floyd and The Eagles. The result is a pop music masterpiece.

One and a half songs until I realised that my increasingly foul mood was due to the singlemost annoying voice I've ever listened to.

And I've listened to Ian Stringer.

Best album of the year so far, by a long way for me.

And then my mood improved as I listened to something with character, depth, talent and originality.

Godspeed You Black Emperor have just announced they have a new album out in a couple of weeks. Ten years after the last! Should be good.

And Tame Impala are back with a new album:

It's a bit Shite also saw them play a lot of there new tracks live recently was a pretty lame gig.

[Samilktray]

2 of the best Hip Hop releases of the year.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Been out a month or so now - Total Loss by How To Dress Well. Absolutely stunning lo-fi R'n'B, best thing I've heard this year without question. I'd encourage anyone to give it a listen.

[Uncle Phil]

Just realised Swans - The Seer came out without me noticing.

Time for a listen me thinks.

[MC Prussian]

Quite some catchy stuff:

[Jonezy]

Enjoying (III) from Crystal Castles.

Impressed that they still manage to create this quality on their 3rd album. I find myself really enjoying this canadian electro thing with artists like Crystal Castles, Grimes, Austra and Trust.

Ben Howard - Burgh Island EP.

Darker, heavier than his last album and altogether brilliant.
