My Top 10 Albums of 2012
1. Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood of Colour
I only discovered Enter Shikari last year and I was totally blown away. Their music is very innovative, genre-breaking and energetic with extremely social critical lyrics. In January they released their latest album "A Flash Flood of Color" and it's just sooo good. I love every single song and I've been listening to this album for 11 months now without getting tired of it. There are tons of different styles in their songs - hell, even in one song they manage to mix different tempos and styles! Enter Shikari just sounds so fresh and exciting. If you like noisy rock music + electro/dubstep + badass lyrics, check them out!

In case you don't know Ryu, he spent the last years doing great songs with Hip Hop crews Get Busy Committee and Styles of Beyond. He was also heavily featured on Mike Shinoda's solo project "Fort Minor".
Ryu released a solo song last year called "Did it to Myself" which was extremely well received, so I'm pretty sure that his upcoming album will be great! Here are some videos with Ryu:
