What the hell:

(no particular order) -

Young Widows - Old Wounds

Helms Alee - Night Terror

Capsule - Blue

Olehole - Holemole

The Gaslight Anthem - '59 Sound

The Gaslight Anthem - Senor and the Queen

Gods and Queens - untitled

Night Marchers - See You in Magic

Also, since I like hip hop from time to time, I should include the following in my list:

GZA - Pro Tools

Jean Grae - Jeanius

These last two were good records, but what the hell has happened to hip hop lately? That genre is in bad shape.

Yasushi Yoshida - Little Grace

This album is fantastic.

Haven't made a final list yet, too soon for me. I load my ipod with all the stuff I liked from the year and listen to it all December long, then I can get an order, although the m83 album will probably be sitting on the top no matter what, I love it.
