| 13 |  | Rome
A Passage to Rhodesia
though not the strongest in rome's catalogue (see Masse Mensch Material and Flowers

song/lyric writing with dark beautiful vocals 3.7/5 |
| 12 |  | Current 93

Everyone's favorite neofolk loony is back. Absurd lyrics creative piano lines make this
one of Current 93 best in awhile. 3.7/5 |

I was forced to listened to this by some individuals. It is pretty cool 3.7/5 |
| 10 | | Single Soul/Depression at Denny's

vocals 3.8/5 |
| 9 |  | Electric Wizard
Time to Die
electric wizard being electric wizard. riffs, occults and smoking |

unique lo-fi feeling 3.8/5 |

| 4 |  | My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
Spooky Tricks
of all my favorite late 80's industrial bands have been making comebacks albums
lately. Surprisingly that the underdogs that are my life with the thrill kill kult would do
it the best. The perfect mix of the old school vibe on the new school equipment 3.9/5 |
| 3 |  | Emma Ruth Rundle
Some Heavy Ocean
I love experimental female singer songwriter stuff like this. An amazing voice, and a
really unique atmosphere pushed this one to the top of my list 4/5 |
| 2 |  | A Slow Descent
Dance With Me Upon His Secret Ocean
Shoutout to Judio who has taken so many trips to space this year. Even so this one
still remains my favorite, so kinetic and visual 4.3/5 |
| 1 |  | Casualties of Cool
Casualties of Cool
Yeah, this one was a surprise for me. Devin Townsend and company pulled off
everything perfectly on this album. The concept and style blew away all expectations.
I like Devin's overtop style on a lot of his other works but it is amazing to see him
succeed so much at something subdued like this. My favorite from him, and easily the
best album I have heard this year. Big props for Che's vocals 4.9/5 |
