I know the year is young but has anyone found great/good songs in 2012?

The Quiet Resistance by Dutch band Nemesea is the first 10/10 album of the year. (It's metal, so Tone won't like it.) But it's interesting metal, bit more imaginative than your usual fayre. Not released in 2012, but I heard them the first time this year: April Rain by Delain and The Unforgiving by Within Temptation. Both amazing, near perfect metal albums. Curiously all Dutch bands. There must be something in the canals.

2012 has got off to a cracking start.

Released mid-January, this album is phenomenal. This is the closing track from it and I hope gives us all a new outlook on the world at the start of this year so we may become more progressive than we have ever been as our global situation demands.

Recently discovered this band, "Of Monsters and Men", from Iceland. Great stuff:
