2012 Not Terrible
That's right. All the stuff I could tolerate. |
1 | | Arrows In Her Leaving.
Emo/punk, fun stuff. |
2 | | Athletics Who You Are Is Not Enough
Post/rock with emo influences. 3/5 |
3 | | Duck. Little brother, duck! Don't Take Our Filth Away
Emo/screamo. Sometimes very raw. Could see me give it a 3,5 if I listened more. |
4 | | Everyone Asked About You Let's Be Enemies
Emo with a 90's sound and even some twee influence. Not a surprise because it's
an original 90's emo band, compilation album. |
5 | | Good Night & Good Morning Narrowing Type
Slowcore, gloomy stuff. Very good. |
6 | | Neil Halstead Palindrome Hunches
Excellent folk from one of Slowdive's members. |
7 | | I Am Carpenter My God Clara
Good indie rock/post-hardcore stuff. |
8 | | Icarus The Owl Love Always, Leviathan
Catchy, mathy post-hardcore stuff. Good for a listen. |
9 | | Leech if we get there one day will you please open the
Unoriginal post-rock that excels in its execution. |
10 | | Mount Eerie Clear Moon
I can tolerate this guy. |
11 | | The Pirate Ship Quintet Rope for No-Hopers
Album of the year and one of the most devastatingly stunning post-rock albums ever. |
12 | | The Unwinding Hours Afterlives
Post-rock/indie with vocals. New(er) project of former Aereogramme members. |
13 | | Windy and Carl We Will Always Be
Soothing ambient stuff. For those occasions only. |
14 | | Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson Small Changes We Hardly Notice
One of the better emo influenced post-rock bands have become a post-rock
influenced emo band and at the same gotten less original. |
15 | | Converge All We Love We Leave Behind
Ra ra ra ra. I want to rage. |
16 | | Circle Takes The Square Decompositions: Volume Number One
It's true that is isn't screamo anymore. Still very good. |
17 | | Sore Eyelids Sore Eyelids
Emo. DOn't know what to think of this, its production has a very atmospheric feel
to it for an emo album. |
18 | | Dowsing It's Still Pretty Terrible
Like this year. Good album though. Emo/ pop punk |
19 | | Frightened Rabbit State Hospital
Haven't actually heard this, but I know I'll still dig his Scottish voice. |
20 | | The Jealous Sound A Gentle Reminder
Former Indie emo band turns indie rock. Still got what it takes. |
21 | | The Mountain Goats Transcendental Youth
Folk |
22 | | Basement Colourmeinkindness
These guys can go from emo/post-harcore to a more grunge influenced rock sound.
Good band. |
23 | | Merry Christmas
List makes it seem that it was a good year for emo, it was a bad year for almost
everything. |
