[theshadeisatool]

1. DEP - Ire Works
2. ETID - The Big Dirty
3. NIN - Year Zero
4. Machine Head - The Blackening

jesu - conqueror/lifeline
yakuza - transmutations
DEP - ire works

oh yes, it was a good year.

[Jacob]

I agree that Oceansize's Frames was a big disappointment. it's not that it's a bad album, but personally I thought that Efloresce had its faults. but with Everyone Into Position they took a great leap in the right direction. with Frames they just took a huge step back though.

some that are promising, but need more time to grow on me:

wintersleep - welcome to the night sky (doesn't have the same feel as the last cd, there's some songs i really like, but it's not wholly inspirational like their previous cd)
thrice - the alchemy index

like holy shit i liked the music that came out this year huh.  there's probably some i'm forgetting as well.  there's a lot on my list that i can't fuckin believe i haven't seen anyone mention yet.

I feel different about Frames.. Effloresce was flawed, while Frames is nearly perfect.
