Looking at my iPod, it can’t have been that underwhelming musically, as I have 20 albums from 2012 on it, and based on what is not there, it’s clearly not the entirety of the 2012 albums in mt collection. I have attempted to take that 20 and turn it into a top 10 (the first list), but I couldn’t help also sharing what I took out (the second list), because I’m still not convinced that some of the second list don’t belong in the first, and vice versa. I’m not even going to look into my collection, to see what else I have from 2012, as I have no doubt I’d have even more I’d want to include in my top 10. 🤪🤪🤪

Anathema - Weather Systems

Aranis - Made in Belgium 

Diagonal - The Second Mechanism

Enslaved - RIITIIR 

iamthemorning - ~

Obsidian Kingdom - Mantis

Roz Vitalis - Patience of Hope

Soen - Cognitive
