Survival Knife- Loose Power is fantastic it fits in right where Unwound left off.

New bob mould album came out yesterday and it's fantastic.  Sounds like something between husker du and sugar.  No complaints here.

Man, I loved both Copper Blue and File Under: Easy Listening.  Now I feel old.

Yes the GYBE is one hell of an album.  On that theme check out the new Swans album "To Be Kind" is an astonishing triumph.

I was wondering when the first half time lists would appear.. I will obviously partake! Wont rank em yet though.

Noneuclid - Metatheosis
Sun Kil Moon - Benji
Cormorant - Earth Diver
Behemoth - The Satanist
Gazpacho - Demon
Aenaon - Extance

---

Serdce - Timelessness,
The Atlas Moth - The Old Believer,
Son of Aurelius - Under a Western Sun; these are really good and might end up on the list later, but haven't given them enough time yet. I'm also eagerly awaiting the new releases from especially Opeth and Ne Obliviscaris!
