Top 5 Rock and Metal Albums of 2012 – Ruster’s Review
2012 is just about in the bag, as long as that pesky Mayan calendar doesn’t end things prematurely. This has been another crazy year for mankind; hurricanes, global earthquakes, worldwide economic crisis, and Gangham Style! (That’s not meant to belittle those actual tragedies, but come on South Korea, really?!) Not everything was bad, though, as this year saw the culmination of every fanboy’s fantasy in the manifestation of the fantastic 'Avengers' movie. This year also saw the release of the third and final chapter of Christopher Nolan’s 'Batman' trilogy, 'The Dark Knight Rises'. Horror fans have been given a few TV shows they can finally get behind in AMC’s 'The Walking Dead' and 'American Horror Story: Asylum', and 'Halo 4' and 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2' will have gamers distracted well into 2013.
But what about 2012’s music?
