JDK's Favorite Albums of 2012 (Extremely Short Edition)

Continuing my trend of pushing out a list before the other sites do so I can't be, like, accused of following P4K too closely. But, hell, this, like most other music lists (and muxes) might as well be curated by them.

And if something awesome comes out in December, I'm sure it'll be on my giant write-up, complete with those lovely little graphics of the album art (that take forever to insert, but whatever).

The ordered list

1. Cloud Nothings - Attack On Memory
   
2. Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes
   
3. Japandroids - Celebration Rock
   
4. Chromatics - Kill For Love
   
5. Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror
