Best Rock Album in 2012

How is Grizzly Bear? Have it and the Sons album on order.

Kieth the Grizzly Bear album is special. By far the best music they've made, to my ears. Really really good record, enjoy!

Has anybody seen GB open for Radiohead? Shields is an excellent LP, but may go too far in the direction of turning GB into a cover band for the RH sound.

I'm inclined to vote against the new Neil Young and Crazy Horse, "Americana."

Not the most rabid Neil fan (though I follow many of his musical descendants), but I was intrigued by the song list of folk classics like "O Susannah" on this one. Unfortunately, I didn't find the re-imaginings particularly compelling. Won't make it into heavy rotation.

IMHO, of course.

Dave Mathews Band Away From The World not bad IMO at all. Also enjoying Green Day Uno. Not new music but new reissues, the Blur titles are great.
