METRIC | SYNTHETICA - Can stream Synthetica
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (the album) - YouTube -
jesus christ, so many people released albums that I hadn't heard of!
fun. - Some Nights has to be it for me, since I am sorely not caught up at all with 2012 albums.
check out the metric album, you'll adore it.
Those two thingies you linked are actually pretty darn good. I'm almost surprised you listen to this!
I'll listen a lot more to it tomorrow when it's not "time to go to bed 5 hours ago" o'clock
Incomplete list of stuff I've enjoyed a lot that was released this year. Anything on this list could be considered a recommendation for anyone who enjoys the genre the album is recorded in, especially the bold stuff, which I regard as masterpieces.

If reissues count, throw Timeghoul - 1992-1994 Discography onto that list as well.
This list is nowhere near complete. There's still a lot of stuff I haven't listened to at all or enough to form an opinion on, including obvious stuff like Springsteen, Ulver, and Neurosis, so I will very likely add a lot of stuff to this list.
I don't have anywhere near enough self-control to narrow this down to an album of the year. If you're lucky you might get a list of about five albums that are clearly better than all the others, but I doubt it. Those bolded albums are probably as much as I can narrow it down.
Skyharbor - Blinding White Noise
Not even a contest for me, best debut album I've heard by any band since Karnivool's 'Themata'
I'll do a proper list at the end of the month but for now I suspect my top three will be Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Passion Pit and Fiona Apple.
those are in my list alsoQuote:

Lana Del Rey
Summertime Sadness is probably my fav track, too.
Guess it didn't really come out in 2012 but the only "new" album I got or even listened to was Doomtree's No Kings.
off to the races. every day until you love it.Quote:

I didn't buy much "new" music in 2012, mostly old albums I was discovering for the first time.
I've heard a ton of rave reviews for Lana Del Rey though. I'll have to check her out soon.
