Top 30 Albums of 2012
--Usually I do a Top 20, but this year, since singles were not as great, I got into other singles that I might not normally have gotten into, that lead me to listening to more albums. All these albums really hit the right spot with me. In order for the album to be in the Top 30, it most either be an full legnth studio album OR on EP with at least 8 song on it AND must have been released between December 1, 2011-November 30, 2012. Greatest Hits, EP's with less than six songs, remix or etc. albums were not eligiblle.

And I love how each of the new songs are all completely different from each other, and have their own sound
