Well, I definitely have one of those in mine.

This.

Also, good to see Worm Ouroboros on the list. Not quite Top 10 for me, but it's still an amazing record.

I probably won't write up a top 10 because I am way too indecisive, but those two would without question be on there.

Top 5 Disappointments of 2012

1. Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Ame



2. Katatonia - Dead End Kings



3. Baroness - Green (Yellow is great)

5. The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet

[slapguitarer]

Agreed on The Mars Volta. The production killed that record.

I don't know, man. Green Theme, Board Up the House, Mtns. (The Crown & Anchor), Stretchmarker, and The Line Between were all pretty good. Especially Stretchmarker. That might be one of the most beautiful tracks I've heard all year on any album. I wish they had made a fifteen-minute version of that track...

EDIT: Also, word to yo momma on that Trees album...that shit is fo real awesome.

This. Most disappointing Volta record to date. Seems they will never touch the first three albums.

I just couldn't get into it at all. If it wasn't released alongside Yellow it might have helped but it just was a giant letdown for what I was hoping for, even without it being metal.
