Like Tom i only have three(the same three as him) and likewise vote Anglagard.
I've got Enslaved on the way which i've heard a couple of songs off of and really liked what i heard.
There are also a few great releases that haven't appeared on this list ;  TFK's 'Banks Of Eden',  Astra's 'The Black Chord',  Beardfish's 'The Void',  even Hidria Spacefolk's 'Astronautica' which are all tough contenders for being a fave release of the year 2012.  Mellotron Storm has impeccable taste for sure LOL

This, Echolyn was also good. But, my two favorite albums this year didn't make it to the top 10; Astra's "The Black Chord", and TMV's "Noctourniquet".

Anglagard or Magma.

Corvus Stone is the most interesting for me of the 3 I've heard as it defies description other than being some happy b*****d child of jazz fusion. Not convinced that Anglagard have managed to better Hybris (or even Epilog) which after a long wait is disappointing. BBT is a strange one for me. Has all the right ingredients but I just can't get that excited about it. I think Martin Orford did a much more powerfull album exploring similar lyrical themes called The Old Road which got largely ignored.
Corvus Stone - solid 4 stars
English Electric - 3.5 stars ( but will probably round up)
Viljans Oga - 3 stars

I've heard three of these (Big Big Train, Threshold and Änglagĺrd), but I only have one of them, Viljans Öga, and that's where my vote goes.

This new Motorpsycho is an utter stunner and  has my vote!
 
The long-awaited Anglagard obviously didn't disappoint, but not too pleased. Big Big Train made ​​a record, at last, that you can listen to and even don't be bored.  I'm  listening to Corvus Stone only briefly, yet it seems to be somewhat confused and unfinished, although brilliantly played (like most Supergroups, after all).
