Based on first impressions - re-listens often make me change my mind. Though this was not a great month - this is the first time I put any 3/5 star album on my top 10 and I'm not thrilled about it. But then again I didn't listen to many things this month, so there's that.

1.Voyager - Prince Of Fire

2.The Ocean - Holocene

3.Supersonic Revolution - Golden Age Of Music

4.Deathstars - Everything Destroys You
