We're rapidly approaching the halfway point of 2012. I thought it would be a good time for everyone to recap their favorite new albums and make recomendations to other DTFers.
Personally, I haven't been blown away by anything new I've heard so far in 2012. A few good, but not great albums from Flying Colors, The Mars Volta, Children of Nova, and Sigur Ros, but none of those are albums I would want to put in my top 5 at the end of the year. My favorite so far has probably been from the David Crowder Band, a christian group, but being a double album it feels a little unfocused and overly long.
What have been your favorites so far?
