2006 Album, Songs of the Year
I posted this on Facebook as well. There's probably nothing I need to elaborate on, since I've covered why I like these albums in other posts this year.
I have been thinking about creating a Top 10 list for my albums of the year, but some are too different to rank and compare. Plus, a "Top 10" would exclude some flawed albums that I listened to more often than the more developed ones.
That being said, I can easily pick my #1 and #2 albums, as well as some of my favourite songs.
*** 2006 Albums of the Year ***
1. Mastodon - Blood Mountain
2. Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
* Honourable Mentions *
Converge - No Heroes
From Fiction - Bloodwork
Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
Isis - In the Absence of Truth
The Mars Volta - Amputecture
The Sourkeys - The Spectacle

Tool - Wings for Marie (Parts I and II)
Mastodon - Capillarian Crest
