Best Rock Album in 2012

Ok folks, let's get another one started. Best yearly thread for us rock fans.

Not really rock, but like Gotye "Making Mirrors" so far.

Cheers,

If you liked Rome or the Broken Bell's stuff, you'll prolly like NJ's new release. I'm actually not a big Norah Jones fan but do like this record.

This is one of the most under appreciated "bands" making music. Can't recommend this album enough.

Love your stuff and been a fan for a while. I've got Monster Music, Dead Weight and of course the new record. Really like the direction you have taken, Exit Strategy is a great record. I played it constantly the first week I had it here, one of those that just walked into heavy rotation. Especially early morning or late late night...nice stuff.

Guys if you have not seen it, go check out the video Synthfreek is talking about. The music is stellar but it's also a very cool little film. Synthfeek...truly meant it, love the work. Keep us informed on upcoming projects and I hope this exposes some more folks to what you guys are doing.

It's only available in the audiophile dreaded 320kbs but hey, it's free! You can download it here http://www.theafghanwhigs.com/ The Afghan Whigs covering Frank Ocean's Lovecrimes. Oh hell yea. Or watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch? list=PL955C7451DC5BE34E&v=Rq_SoNctIvI&feature=player_embedde d http://www.youtube.com/watch? list=PL955C7451DC5BE34E&v=Rq_SoNctIvI&feature=player_embedde d I never thought those guys would ever play together again. Unlike a lot of the old dude reunion stuff going on these days, Dulli and the boys are still badass, maybe even more so. Can't wait for 10/5 in NYC!
