Partially ordered (the ones with descriptions). The rest are arranged alphabetically. |
1.
Sybreed - God Is An Automaton | |
2.
Gorod - A Perfect Absolution | |
3.
The Faceless - Autotheism | |
4.
Ihsahn - Eremita | |

This is a list of out-of-the-box, unorthodox albums (metal and non-metal alike) that I've enjoyed for their originality, bravado and sheer retardedness. It's a meagre compilation as of now, but I'll expand it when I hear more of such albums. No order, and subject to change.
P.S.: Feel free to let me know if you know what I don't know...no? O.o |

Disillusion - Gloria | |
2.
Ulver - Blood Inside | |

MMXII: Ranking The "Final" Year's Albums
While I'm slightly disappointed the world didn't end this year, I thought I'd share my musical tastes from throughout the year by arbitrarily ranking other people's art. When the year began I was really into sludge and stoner but as the year has worn on, it's been the black metal releases which by and large have won my attention and appreciation. |
1.
Royal Thunder - CVI | |
2.
Ancestors - In Dreams and Time | |
3.
Merrimack - The Acausal Mass | |
4.
Hail Spirit Noir - Pneuma | |
5.
Hidden Orchestra - Archipelago |

2012 WIP
WIP !!!!
Quite opposite to 2011, which featured both freakingly awesome releases (Terra Tenebrosa, Lazuli, Thy Catafalque...) and crap that redefined crap (Lulu or Illud Divinum Isanus), 2012 was quite consistent. Sadly, consistently average. OK, consistently quite correct, but groundbreaking releases were few and far between... |
1.
A Forest Of Stars - A Shadowplay For Yesterdays | |
2.
Anaal Nathrakh - Vanitas | |
3.
Faal - The Clouds Are Burning | |
4.
Klone - The Dreamer's Hideaway | |
5.
Between The Buried And Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence |
