New ****ed Up, definately hardcore album of the year.

Mesa Verde - The Old Road
Loma Prieta - Last City
...Who calls so loud - ep
Suis la Lune - Heir

whatever, I'm cozy in that nook...

so I'm going to go ahead and say that the unreleased Circle Takes the Square is the best this year... even though it hasn't come out...and I haven't heard it... it will be ASTOUNDING.

lol

lp was much better, but that shit was still solid.

That was their LP. Its probably one of my favorites to come out in this genre this year as well. I'm waiting on the new Fire Team Charlie to make that decision first though.

i mean lp as in "our lp is your ep".

i was actually pretty surprised by Heir. i thought Quiet, Pull The Strings was horrible.

The devil wears prada - "Plagues"

if the danielstripedtiger/sinaloa split was this year, then that deserves some recogniton too.
