TRCK Archives: Top Albums of 2012

From the archives, here's a list I made of my top albums and EPs of 2012

Alright I'm just going to start by listing the 10 best EPs of 2012:

#10:  William Beckett - Walk the Talk EP

William came out with three separate four-song EPs this year, all of them worth checking out for any fan of The Academy Is...  The songs are definitely more pop-centric than rock-leaning TAI stuff, but it's good enough to dull my pain over the breakup of The Academy Is...

The Real Concert King's Top Albums of 2017

I know you've all been anxiously waiting to see what would and wouldn't make my top albums list for 2017!  Just kidding, but here you are anyway, so you might as well check it out.  Every year, doing this list is difficult for different reasons.  There's no real science to my method, I base it on how each album makes me feel and what kind of impact it has on me.  I usually have a hard time ranking all of these very different works of art, but for some reason this year was even more challenging. If I were to re-order this list in a few weeks, it might end up completely different.  

The Real Concert King's Top Albums of 2016 Part 1: 25-11

It's that time of year again!  It's time to take a look at what I think are the top albums of the year!  These lists are always really difficult to put together and this year was no exception.  There was a lot of great music released this year, including new albums from a few of my favorite bands.  I try to base my list on which albums made the biggest impact on me and felt the desire to listen to over and over.  

Obviously I didn't get a chance to listen to everything out there, or even everything I might like, this is just out of what I came across.  If you feel I missed a great album, please let me know and maybe I'll discover a new favorite band!  There are plenty of albums that I loved that didn't even make this list, so every single one of these albums has something special about them to warrant their place.

I'm just testing this out to see how it works. I might use this page for music and concert reviews, or anything else I think of. We'll just have to see how it goes!
