Sad that one of my all-time favorite bands is so low on the list, but this is how it goes. XD

Also, while not in my favorites, I enjoyed Copeland's "Dressed Up and In Line" B-side, and I'm very much looking forward to The Format's new B-side, as well. I also enjoyed MxPx's "Secret Weapon" and Stars' "In Our Bedroom After the War." And asdf, how could I forget Anberlin's "Lost Songs" B-side? RELEASED YESTERDAY. My gosh, I need to go to Best Buy right freaking now. XD

Lastly, I'm really, really looking forward to hearing new music from Sufjan Stevens and The Dear Hunter, who have some really promising projects ahead of them. 8D

I can't make a list yet since I haven't gotten my computer back from being fixed (I've been without it for almost 4 months); it'll take me a while to look through all the stuff I've missed. My number one will most likely still be:


Deathspell Omega: Fas, Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum


a truly remarkable, innovative masterpiece of unholy black metal
