Good albums for 2012 so far?

[FerretallicA]

The only album I've listened to so far which has really impressed me is the new Van Halen one. Is it just me or is 2012 off to a slow start for metal? New Psycroptic is good but lacks the punch of earlier albums, new Buckethead cuts the line between understated genius and elevator music a bit too fine, new Opera IX is nothing noteworthy...

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Nothing as yet. Looking forward to new Marilyn Manson, Blaze Bayley and the Editors.

 

[Winmar]

I can't think of one album I've heard of that I want to buy yet, but then I've not being paying much attention.

 

[Southy]

Lamb of God wasn't too bad, and I am really looking forward to the new Napalm Death

 

[KoichCPA]

The EP from Heirs is worth checking out.

 

[Goreripper]

Napalm Death and Cannibal Corpse.

 

[Southy]

Fuck Yeah, when is the new Cannibal Corpse due out?

 

[FerretallicA]

Primal Rock Rebellion (the Adrian Smith project) is pretty solid. It's not "holy shit this is the most fucking amazing thing i've ever heard" which is what I was kind of expecting, but it gets better with repeat listens. Maybe my expectations were just too high after how "holy shit" awesome ASAP and Psycho Motel were.

New Napalm Death is cooking my sausage, fuck me this is good, and the fact that they are throwing little differences in here and there is soooo fucking good.:hotjump::danceboy:

 

[KoichCPA]

For a bunch of old dudes they are still kicking goals.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Tenacious D new album comes out soon

 

[FerretallicA]

Napalm Death and Cannibal Corpse.

Finally got around to checking these out. Cannibal Corpse good, Napalm Death jaw-dropping

Spawn of Posession, Gorod, Obscura (even if not technically "new" material) and Beneath The Massacre new albums are all stand-outs too. Looks like Year of the Brutal so far.

 

[Winmar]

I need more Napalm Death in my collection. Might be a good one to start with.

 

[Southy]

Wait..WHAT!!! You need to get the new album Winny, then get the whole back catalogue dude, stop whining and get to it. Think of it like not having enough ST in the collection

 

[Winmar]

Haha I'd better hop to it then!

 

[FerretallicA]

If you start with the latest one, it will be a down-hill voyage from there... I'd start with Harmony Corruption or Diatribes and work your way forward to the present. Do yourself a favor and give anything earlier than Harmony Corruption a wide berth.

 

[KoichCPA]

So I've just heard a couple of tracks off the new Meshuggah album.

fuck.

 

[Goreripper]

I'm listening to this Hungarian avant-garde band called Thy Catafalque right now.

 

[KoichCPA]

Also, new Melvins album this year.

OH YEAH

 

[Southy]

So I've just heard a couple of tracks off the new Meshuggah album.

fuck.

That's the word getting around, how ace the album is apprently
