Hype died off for that record, I still really love it though. In my top ten, for sure.

Well I think I finally have my AOTY nailed down to Tame Impala, but everything else seems like it's in a constant state of flux. We'll see. Japandroids, Titus Andronicus, Sigur Ros, Kendrick Lamar, Passion Pit, Cloud Nothings, and Nas are all gonna be pretty far up there as well though, for sure. I posted a Top 20 in MO a week ago, but I went back and looked at it and realized I forgot some stuff.

Same here. Probably my most-listened for 2012 because it's been out so long and is so short.

[Chris Collum]

Also, cool to see Torche getting some love around these parts.

[Ismael182]

Don't forget about Grizzly Bear and Cage The Elephant peoples..

Ugh I keep forgetting that album, I've only listened to it a couple of times but if I rectified that I'm sure it'd be up there.

Fantastic album. Their best, in my opinion.

Yeah it's really cool. Somewhere in the 20s for me maybe, don't really know for certain.

what was your AOTY for 2011? mine was Separation from Balance & Composure, and honestly nothing this year even came close to that release for me... I thought 2011 was overall a lot better, i still enjoyed a ton of releases from 2012 though. for me, i think 2011 was musically one of my favorite years.
