What do Newschoolers think is the best album of 2012? Doesnt matter what genre, it can be any album.

Mine would have to be:
The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (hate me for it)

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

and to switch it up a bit... Night Visions by Imagine Dragons

Technically you're wrong, his album comes out on the 15th but if you leaked it, such as myself, you'll have it in 2012 possibly. PLOT TWIST!

The Lumineers
Old Crow Medicine Show - Carry me Back
Between the Buried and Me - Parallax II: Future Sequence
The Faceless - Autotheism
Meshuggah - Koloss
Mumford and Sons - Babel.... maybe. Not sure if that makes my "top albums list" this year.

I really am forgetting a lot of stuff right now. My list is pretty limited, but I am just getting mixed up with stuff that came out this year with last year.

Tame Impala

Japandroids

Lumineers

ALABAMA SHAKES

I would never even consider his album purely based off the fact that he did an absolutely terrible track with skrillex. Its like deadmau5 doing that track with Gerard way or something. It ruins the whole thing.
