Born in Blood
Another fantastic year for me. And quite a lot of variety, ranging from noisecore, Hip Hop, shoegaze all the way to baggy Madchester tuuunes. But my unquestioned favourite album of this year has to be
Born in Blood. As I said on my RYM review:
"This album sounds like what I imagine it would feel like to be dragged backwards through a grimey neighborhood with a toilet seat round your neck." As for the rest, it's all pretty much great. Definitely one of my favourite years thus far.
