[Edit] Just for fun, and since I've been thinking about how close they got to being included in my end-of-year writing, I feel I should point out that one album is the clear #41. It barely got cut at the last minute, in a very tough call. The record was Curse by Wodensthrone, and I think it deserves an honorable mention.
Love the list. There is a lot of stuff there that I had not heard. I may have to seek some stuff out. Mine will be up at the beginning of the year.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I look forward to seeing yours.
ReplyDeleteI've only even heard 7 of these. That said, I totally see why each of those deserves a place on the list. I had forgotten about Sigh when putting my list together, although I think it would have at best made honorable mention. I'll listen again today to see if I have to eat my words on that statement.
ReplyDeleteOK, fuck . . . I think I'm eating my words. MAJOR oversight on my part leaving that out of my list.
ReplyDeleteIt happens. About half of my list last year should have been different.
