Times of Grace - The Hymn of a Broken Man Stream
This record is unreal. Un-fucking-believable album. SO inspiring. Goosebumps throughout. The passion, the vocal harmonies, the lyrics, SO meaningful and real. Songs about LOVE on a metal record... and they're great??!! Crazy! And when it's pissed, man, look out. What I've always loved about Jesse Leach's voice is that it sounds like dude has PROBLEMS!! And I relate. I was really disappointed with where music was going when this came out...and this record literally saved me.

Ocean's Contagion is one of my favorite albums of the year. I love the heavness and the vocals. I also think it has some of the most killer riffs I've heard in a long time! I love this record. Oceano rules!

Agalloch - whitedivisiongrey
Could this be considered a cheat since the music on it was recorded in 2004 and 2008? Fuck you! For years I've wanted to grab a portable turntable and run off to the woods to play The White EP on vinyl and this year Agalloch gave me that chance.
Not only is The White EP my favourite Spring album, but The Mantle is my favourite Winter album, so the selections from it found on The Grey EP are definitely welcome. I picked this up at the band's show earlier this year and love everything from the packaging to the music. Good luck getting yourself a copy, though...
Agalloch are simply one of my generation's best metal bands. Any chance to introduce them to new listeners is a chance I will gladly take.

Unfortunately this guy beat out everyone including the English gal with the amazing voice. Even though he apes Madonna in every sense and dresses up like a woman, and in this picture a motorcycle, he manages to acquire the most shock and awe and still sell records, write hit songs and sell out arenas worldwide. Very impressive. He's even kinda hot, wait...what?...It's a chick...Oh....shit...maybe I should have just picked the Foo Fighters like everyone else. and the Grammy goes to...hmm, I wonder.

JD Allen Trio - Victory!
This jazz album was probably the disc I listened to most this year. Allen's a tenor saxophonist who writes extraordinarily concise compositions - this album has 12 tracks and is only 36 minutes long, but there are tons of melodies that will stick in your head once you hear them, which isn't as common in jazz as you might like to think.

Blind Pilot - We Are the Tide
NPR premiered Blind Pilot’s sophomore album, We Are the Tide, in late August and it immediately became the soundtrack to my Fall. The vocals are gorgeous and while the music isn’t groundbreaking, I think it’s beautiful. Standout track for me is “White Apple,” I love the way it builds.

Anvil - Juggernaut of Justice Stream
Back in 1983, I interviewed Lips from Anvil prior to a show at L’Amour on their “Forged In Fire” tour. We spoke for about an hour and it couldn’t have gone better…until I got home and realized the batteries in my 1st generation Walkman died about 5 minutes into the interview…meaning I had virtually NOTHING to show for the one hour interview we did. Their publicist hooked up a phoner two days later and Lips did the entire interview all over again, and he was just as pumped and happy to talk the second time around. Fast-forward 28 years and Anvil has released one of their best albums to date in “Juggernaut Of Justice.” The band’s prior albums were always good for a couple of songs that amounted to dirty jokes powered through Marshall stacks, and that light-hearted element is missing from “Juggernaut,” but Bob Marlette’s production and the overall intensity of the new tracks make up for that minor complaint. Anvil aren’t out to save the world and if you’re looking for more than simply a headbanging good time, then keep walking, there’s nothing for you to see here. If on the other hand, you can channel your inner Nigel Tufnel, you’ll enjoy lines like Turn It Up’s: “On eleven, we’re all in heaven!”
