TOP ALBUMS OF 2012

2012 was another action packed year: Barry O got re-elected, the Costa Concordia managed to run aground whilst waving frantically to friends, we had something called the Olympics in London, Hurricane Sandy visited the east coast of America, a guy decided to jump to earth from space, America decided not to go into space anymore, and something called Gangnam Style occurred. But on the musical front there was another amazing crop of albums and artists tantalising our taste buds. Here is a peek at the year’s best album releases courtesy of our esteemed team of music-heads – Tim Ritchie, Cameron Barrett, Coffin Ed, Tracy Ellis, Imran Shahid and Emma Barrett.
