About to give the new Godspeed its first spin so we'll see about that. Also anticipating that Neurosis and Pig Destroyer will both make that list.

Excellent year.

OM is awesome you betcha

Getting a great High On Fire record and a great OM record and a reissue of Dopesmoker almost equals out to getting one awesome new Sleep album this year.

here are my favorites so far in 2012:

raindrinkers - yesodic helices 12"
sic alps - vedley 7"
symmetry - themes... 3xLP
the kills - last goodbye 10"
lx sweat - sweat sweat sweat cs

inner tube - s/t 12"
FRKWYS Vol 9 - icon give thank 12"
dolphins into the future - canto arquipelago 12"
jon porras - black mesa 12"

Street Halo came out last year, homeslice.

this is going to be pretty great too
Neurosis Honor Found in Decay

oh really? i just sort of got them both together.

i forgot about:

japandroids - celebration rock
grimes - visions
dirty projectors - swing low magellan
lower dens - nootropics

I think somebody put all the tracks together with the same tags and distributed it on some blogs so that makes sense. Both amazing releases though - Burial is a fucking genius.

Pretty much this, yes. I haven't heard the new Tame Impala yet but I'm curious.

forgot the frank ocean album, its held up pretty well

Aesop Rock - Skelethon
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Mature Themes
Jens Lekman - I Know What Love Isn't
Tame Impala - Lonerism
Grizzly Bear - Shields
B. Fleischmann - I'm Not Ready For The Grave Yet
The xx - Coexist
Archive - With Us Until You're Dead
Swans - The Seer
DIIV - Oshin
A Place To Bury Strangers - Worship

yeah, coexist was pretty good too.
