Fixed.

 

[NAD]

Tool, Agalloch, Kayo Dot (recently, as in just today, discovered how awesome it be), Colour Haze and... maybe Hammers but it's been awhile since I've listened to it and I was only blown away by the final track. Celtic Frost is good, the one time I spun it. New Danzig next week.

Colour Haze and Agalloch are the clear frontrunners right now.

Jay: Pretty sure Gojira is an overseas 2005/domestic 2006 situation....would be very easy to clarify since RC discovered it first...

Yeah, Gojira:

Overseas: 2005 on Listenable
Domestic: 2006 on Prosthetic

[cthulufhtagn]

every time we do one of these retrospective lists i end up realizing i've only bought like 4 albums that came out this year, i guess i tend to pick up slightly older stuff considering my cd collection is (and continues to be) lacking in a lot of essential stuff, especially compared to a lot of ye scurvies :zombie:
