I know I'm super late to this thread and I haven't really listened to a lot of 2012 music, but Japandroids' new album blew me away...until I heard the Cloud Nothings new album and I changed my mind. Also dug Serj Tankian's new album and Xiu Xiu's were also pretty good. Fun's new album was ok, didn't touch their debut though. After browsing through this thread ima get Death Grips new album as well.
