21. THE MEN - OPEN YOUR HEART

Seems to a big cluster of rock records back-to-back here on this list now and 2012 really was a great year for it. The Men are a"proper" band. This was their third album. I'd say that these 10 songs flutter many different styles and lengths, but overall it's thrilling as a boozy night out in Brooklyn, which is where these donuts come from. Again, the wiki mentions their style better than I can do justice:

Musical style[edit]
