masked intruder. but i didn't feel there was any great pop punk release of the year. not expecting my list to change too much, I'll have one here soon. |
On the Impossible Past single handedly ruled my 2012
Will start working on my list now, a lot of my best albums were released earlier this year so I need to go back and relisten i.e. Enter Shikari, Sharks, No Trigger. |

Top 5 albums - Basement - Colourmeinkindness, Brutality Will Prevail - Scatter the Ashes, John Mayer - Born and Raised, Major League - Hard Feelings, Expire - Pendulum Swings.
