this was the year I actually lost interest in Devin Townsend. I've been a fanboy of his since high school, and none of the new stuff does anything for me and doesn't connect with me emotionally like all his old albums.
my favorite albums were, in no order
Textures Dualism
Ulcerate The Destroyers of All
Gridlink Orphan
Fair to Midland Arrows & Anchors
40 Watt Sun The Inside Room
Revocation Chaos of Forms
3 The Ghost You Gave to Me
Leprous Bilateral
Vektor Outer Isolation
Esoteric Paragon of Dissonance
Arch/Matheos Sympathetic Resonance
Mastodon The Hunter
Earth Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I
Immolation Providence EP
Protest the Hero Scurrilous
Primordial Redemption at the Puritans Hand
Cynthesis DeEvolution
Yob Atma
Trap Them Darker Handcraft
