Fairly tweaked from the list I did in October, and a big rush of albums from just the past few weeks, including "Ox" by Coalesce which I absolutely am kicking myself over not hearing earlier. Also really weird seeing something like Regina Spektor's record outside of the Top 10, considering I didn't think anything could even touch it when I first listened to it. Ditto "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix". I think this just speaks to how deeply I am in to sludge+hardcore right now than a comment on the music's quality. Also this list is a huge reminder that I really needed to give quite a lot of records more time and attention, but just ended up listening to "The Blue Record" instead.
Scarychips:
Also, to comment on my top ten list, I had Franz Ferdinand's as my best album, not because it's a musical masterpiece or anything, but I just listened to it so many times, I couldn't not put it as my favourite album. And Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is one of my runner-ups, bu I recently gave another listen to Vs. Children and I realised it was better.
Oh and congrats Johnny for being in my top ten. I recently re-gave a listen to your band's EP and it's honestly incredibly fun.
Koremora:
Just put my list up on my blog. Did a Top Ten, and then an honorable mention for anything below that.
