According to my progfreak account I have listened to 42 albums that were released in 2012.  Only 11 of them might qualify as MMA material.  Well I guess 12 with Rush's Clockwork Angels.

I've heard some 2012, but the best album to be released (BY FAR) this year isn't even metal. Ermm

It's a damn good year so far IMO.  I've researched and invested more wisely this year as I haven't been dissappointed with any hard rock/metal I've purchased in 2012.  I've enjoyed most of the ones my brother picked up as well.  Still need to dig online to find some more obscure stuff though.  And there are still at least 10 more "mainstream" metal releases I look forward to hearing that have yet to come out this year (Soundgarden, Converge, Cryptopsy, Voivod, and Behold.. The Arctopus among them).

I've lost hope completely.  It WILL be better than their last release (not hard to do), but they keep comparing it so how much it sounds like None So Vile and it won't come close.

Fucks sucks.  They sound so behind the genre and uninspired.  Basically the opposite of None So Vile.  Also sounds way too produced and mechanical.

At least it's probably going to be better than The Unspoken King.

But then again, that's like saying having diarrhoea is probably going be better than vomiting.
