It's a perfectly good album, but apart from one stand out track - 'Hell Broke Luce' - perhaps too familiar (I didn’t notice it on any best of the year lists, and I’ve looked at lots of them). Instead, I am going to go for an album by a band I was completely unfamiliar with until a couple of weeks ago, and say that 'Koi No Yokan' by the Deftones is my favourite album of 2012. I may get bored with it, but so far I've been playing it several times a day since I bought it, and I've even downloaded some of their other albums. It kinda reminds me of the Pixies – heavy but melodic – which is probably why I like it. To be honest, most of the albums (and comics, and books, and DVDs) I bought in 2012 were old, so it hasn’t got that much competition.<br /><br />I did buy the Rumer album and the Lana Del Rey album but didn't listen to either of them that much. I probably only played the Lana Del Rey album once the whole way through, even though I played 'Video Games' a lot. I'll have to give both albums another go, and check out some more albums from your list. I am very tempted by the Jack White album.<br />Rob Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515880319695569649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-48098332202695735702012-12-30T16:50:06.114+00:002012-12-30T16:50:06.114+00:00Beth Orton and Kate Bush would have made my list t...Beth Orton and Kate Bush would have made my list this year (if I'd bothered to compile one).
