Highlights of 2010 so far

[Ⓐaron]

Shining - Blackjazz
Abigor - Time Is the Sulphur in the Veins of the Saint
Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me
Immolation - Majesty and Decay
Ihsahn - After
Univers Zero - Clivages
Petrychor - Dryad
A Silver Mt. Zion - Kollaps Tradixionales

No particular order here; I'm not sure I can rank them, although if I had to pick a favourite at the moment it would probably be the Shining. Burzum's new album was significantly better than expected as well. I need to listen to the new Sigh more before I can honestly say what I think about it.

 

[Cthulhu]

* Blackjazz is odd
* Abigor is odd
* Immolation I'm not sure about, never was much of a death fan.
* Ihsahn is pretty good

Dunno the rest.

Orphaned Land - Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR is the best album to me so far this year. Blind Guardian and Kamelot albums are coming out soon. Should be good.
