2012: LOS MEJORES DISCOS DEL AÑO

Cuando llega el fin del año (o en este caso, de la existencia) todo el internet se desborda con opiniones, críticas y deseos que se esfuman con el calendario. Esta lista la hice sin opinar o reseñar porque la mayoría de los discos presentes han sido discutidos y comentados en demasía, a veces ignorando lo que querían decir los artistas en primer lugar... por eso, guardo silencio y anexo fragmentos de las letras en el álbum que, para mí, pintan una imagen de los sonidos.

Si algunos de los discos no los han escuchado y les dan ganas, que sea por algo que escribió el artista, no por algo que escribió un Chavo.

10. good kid, m.A.A.d. city - Kendrick Lamar

"Ya bish"

"Everybody gon' respect the shooter but the one in front of the gun lives forever. And I been hustlin' all day, this a way, that a way, thru canals and alleyways, just to say money trees is the perfect place for shade and that’s just how I feel. A dollar might just fuck your main bitch, that’s just how I feel. A dollar might say fuck them niggas that you came with, that’s just how I feel"

9. Kill For Love - Chromatics

"I can't remember if I like what I said, I can't remember it went straight to my head. I kept a bottle by the foot of the bed, I put a pillow right on top of my head but I killed for love"

8. An Awesome Wave - Alt-J (∆)

"She looks up at the blue and whispers to all of the above: 'Don't let me drown, don't breath alone, no kicks, no pangs no broken bones. Never let me sink, always feel at home, no sticks, no shanks and no stones. Never leave it too late, always enjoy the taste of the great grey world of hearts.' 

As all dogs everywhere bark, 

'It's worth knowing, like all good fruit, the balance of life is in the ripe and ruin.'"

7. Shields - Grizzly Bear

“Look on your face, burden’s on your back, sun is in your eyes”

“So bright, so long, I’m never coming back”

6. Centipede Hz - Animal Collective

"What are you gonna do? Go into the forest until I can't remember my name. I'm gonna come back and things will be different, I'm gonna bring back some stories and games"

5. Koi No Yokan - Deftones

"This is your chance, Revolt, Resist! Open you chest, look down, reach in. Shedding your skin, showing your texture. Time to let everything inside show"

"Our minds bend and our fingers fold, entwined, we dream. I know"

4. (III) - Crystal Castles

"Virgin cells to penetrate, too premature to permeate. They can't elucidate, never thought I was the enemy. I am the plague"

3. Lonerism - Tame Impala

"Oh.. it feels so real in my sleep, never held something so close I couldn't keep"

2. Bloom - Beach House

"What comes after this momentary bliss, the consequence of what you do to me"

1. channel ORANGE - Frank Ocean

"Taxi driver

You're my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said allahu Akbar, I told him don't curse me
But boy you need prayer, I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion

This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
And cyanide in my Styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
Love me
Love me

Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one
And you say allahu Akbar, I told him don't curse me
But boy you need prayer, I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion

This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
And cyanide in my Styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me

It's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do"
