...but one of my magazine is making me compile a Top 15 discs of the year. After careful deliberation - well, as much as I could do with only a day and change notice - here is the list that will run in Metal Hammer next year:
- The Sounds - Living In America (New Line)
- Cursive - The Ugly Organ (Saddle Creek)
- The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium (Universal)
- Stiffed - Sex Sells (Cool Hunter)
- The White Stripes - Elephant (V2)
- Helios Creed - On The Dark Side Of The Sun (Staticwhitesound)
- Killing Joke - Killing Joke (Epic)
- Arch Enemy - Anthems Of Rebellion (Century Media)
- Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage (XL)
- Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll (Lost Highway)
- Glass Candy - Love Love Love (Troubleman Unlimited)
- Party Of Helicopters - Don't Believe It (Velocette)
- Peaches - Fatherfucker (XL)
- Neurosis & Jarboe - Neurosis & Jarboe (Neurot)
- Avenged Sevenfold - Waking The Fallen (Hopeless)
It will probably change by the time I vote in the Village Voice poll... I don't know if that will happen due to new discs or more of an opportunity to revisit older recordings, but I'd assume the former is more likely.
