Mr. Glass Top 21+ of 2012
I like to wait to do my end of the year list until the end of the year. I don’t want to exclude any great albums just because it came out in December, or I just couldn’t get a hold of it until then. So here it is my favorite albums of the past year (I have also included a few extras free/ep/mixtape releases from the artists that put in work this past year)
