Has anybody listened to the soundgarden album yet? I'm afraid to. If it sucks I'm going to be all the sad.
If you are expecting Badmotorfinger you will be, without a doubt, disappointed. If you like Superunknown and Down On The Upside, this album has some tastes from those two. The last three tracks are simply amazing.
In a nutshell, its the best thing Chris Cornell has been a part of since pre-Audioslave and certainly the best mainstream rock album to be put out in a long time!
I agree with this assessment 100%. I consider myself to be a serious Soundgarden fan and I was very skeptical at first, but as it turns out it's a pretty good album overall. I actually like it more than Down on the Upside and anything Audioslve put out.
They killed it on Letterman as well earlier this week. Ben Shepherd's bass solo's sounded like demons rising from hell.
ALSO, PLEASE UPDATE MY LIST:
The Heavy - The Glorious Dead The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Meat and Bone
I've been wanting ghee-tars lately so I've also been diggin' Howler American Give Up.
I don't have strong feelings about this album one way or the other but I'm a big fan of the band because they've pissed off all of the local music journalists here. They had the audacity to say that the scene here might be kind of lame (it is) and were pretty much blacklisted for it. The music scene here is very touchy about how they're the best scene in the world.

Thanks Pea!
You've sold me. I'm going to check it out, without fear.

I don't think I even have a list for 2012 yet. I'm usually a couple of years behind the times. Nevertheless, here's mine:
deadmau5 - > Album Title Goes Here < BT - If the Stars are Eternal, so are You and I Animal Collective - Centipede Hz The Chemical Brothers - Don't Think M. Ward - A Wasteland Companion Diplo - Express Yourself Modeselektor - Monkeytown Deluxe Tour Edition
The Modeselektor album is a stretch given that its initial release was in 2011 but it's new to me as of 2012 and the deluxe edition technically wasn't released until this March, so in my mind it qualifies.

And it this point I can stand behind all of these choices.
