The new Crashdiet album is terrible compared to their previous outings. Didn't even need to listen to it 6 times to come up with that opinion. I only downloaded one track off the whole thing.
I've been off this board for a while, but my favorite album of 2012 was by a band called COUNTER CLOCK. Awesome awesome awesome!!!! It's on Itunes for those interested in checking them out. It's catchy, melodic, and has great sing along choruses.
