(no subject)
So, my albums of the year.
I've heard some or all of over 200 albums this year (eek!) and there are some high profile absentees. Equally, I don't claim I've heard every key album this year. So anything omitted from the list is because I've either not heard it or there were (at least) 20 albums I felt were better.
Remix albums, live albums, EPs, re-issues, etc. not counted.
Firstly...
EP of the year : Kirlian Camera - Ghloir Ar An Oiche
And of course non-scene album of the year : Lady Gaga - Born this Way
But after that, my top 20 Goth/Industrial/Post-Punk/etc albums of the year are......
20) Action Directe - The Red Album
19) Surgyn - Vanity
18) Anne Marie Hurst - Day of Days
17) Saltatio Mortis - Sturm auf Paradies
16) V2A - Machine Corps
15) Necro Facility - Winter Mute
14) She Wants Revenge - Valleyheart
13) The Mission Veo - Strangers
12) Covenant - Modern Ruin
11) Gates of Dawn - Lucid Dreaming
10) Cold in May - Gone Away With the Memories
9) Dismantled - The War Inside Me
8) Roterfeld - Blood Diamond Romance
7) Vic Anselmo - In My Fragile
6) Imperative Reaction - Imperative Reaction
5) Erotic Elk - Solitary
4) Miserylab - Void of Life
3) Mono Inc - Viva Hades
2) Within Temptation - The Unforgiving
and finally....
1) Aesthetic Perfection - All Beauty Destroyed
And there we go. Plenty of good stuff you probably know and plenty worth checking out IMO.
