We have a thread of best albums of 2012 so I thought are there albums people are excited for this year?

For me
Atoms for peace
BRMC
The Strokes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Queens of the Stone Age (past few albums haven't been great but hoping for big things)

I will say Daft Punk but who knows if it will ever come out

Torn a bit this year. The stand out would have to be Chvrches album. Fantastic debut considering they produced it themselves and are getting pretty big in America off the back of it.

Also a cracking album came out on monday from TOY, dirty psychadelic rock. Also wasn't their best but I enjoyed Paramore's new offering. Losing two influencial members of the band they've moved away from the pop rock they're accustomed to, to something a little more mainstream with electronic elements thrown in.

Having had some time to digest this, my top 10 goes like thisTomorrow's Harvest[/i
Arcade Fire - [iReflektor[/i
Deerhunter - [iMonomania[/i
Kurt Vile - [iWakin On A Pretty Daze[/i
Forest Swords - [iEngravings[/i
Vampire Weekend - [iModern Vampires Of The City[/i
F*** Buttons - [iSlow Focus[/i
Oneohtrix Point Never - [iR Plus Seven[/i
Jessy Lanza - [iPull My Hair Back[/i
James Blake - [iOvergrown[/i

Special mention: The Field, Sally Shapiro and Low.

I would probably choose Public Service Broadcasting's Inform - Educate - Entertain as my particular favourite of the year, though give me time to think I will come up with numerous other favourites.

In no particular order:-

Skeletonwitch - Serpents Unleashed
Alice in Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
Clutch - Earth Rocker
Ghost - Infestessimum
Black Sabbath 13
Blood Ceremony - The Eldrich Dark
Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Mind Control

After another couple of listens, how wrong I was to be underwhelmed!!!
