Half Point Review: Top 5

Since we are at the half way point, here is the Top FIVE of 2012 (so far!):

Clockwork Angels by Rush. Yeah duh.

Weather Systems by Anathema. See the previous post. Perfectly constructed and emotionally resonant prog.


Les Voyages de L'Âme by Alcest. Beautiful French progressive rock. Musically probably the prettiest record of the year.

What Kind Of World by Brendan Benson. Power pop master with his best record yet. Just great, catchy songs.

Port of Morrow by The Shins. Great comeback from James Mercer. I thought the Broken Bells stuff was kind of dull so I am glad to see him back under The Shins moniker.
