Best Albums of 2012?

Posted by: Paul@HiFi Lounge on 03 December 2012

I guess it's that time of year again where we look back over the last 12 months and try and pick some of the gems from the last year, in my opinion it has been a pretty poor year with only really a couple of good albums that have got me excited, hopefully though everyone else on here found it to be a better year and I can discover some classics that I missed, for me it was only the below that I found worth a mention -

 

Muse - 2nd Law - some fantastic guitars and rock rhythms on here + a great 24bit download

 

Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball - some classic Bruce on his latest release with songs like 'Death to my Hometown' Shackled and Drawn' and  Jack of all Trades, Brilliant
