KALEIDOSCOPE DREAM
by Miguel
Released: 28 September 2012
Score: 50,000
“There are instances where the lyrical content edges too close to ""artsy"" teenage erotic poetry, but no song is without an attractive quality, whether it's a heavenly melody, a riveting rhythm, or a boggling production nuance.”
ILL MANORS
by Plan B
Released: 23 July 2012
Score: 50,000
“These songs contain the record's protest element as well as its exemplary musicality: heartbreaking soul choruses, classical samples and '80s rocksteady rhythms.”
MANIFEST!
by Friends
Released: 4 June 2012
Score: 50,000
“Could very well be one of the soundtracks to the summer, with their heavy use of percussion setting them apart from other similar Brooklyn acts. Unfortunately, there are times when Manifest! feels muddled.”
BATTLE BORN
by The Killers
Released: 17 September 2012
Score: 60,000 silver
“With their simultaneous emphasis on the pedal-to-the-metal triumphalism of rock's yesteryear and their ultimate submission to tomorrow's grinding machinery, the Killers' new album may as well be called Battle Born This Way.”
IN OUR HEADS
by Hot Chip
Released: 8 June 2012
Score: 60,000 silver
“Taylor and Goddard's pop impulses and the dance music they've always been exploring have finally cohered, yielding a collection of songs with the potential to be as efficient on a dance floor as it is in a bedroom.”
Should be good!
