<strong>Kev's Interim Albums of the Year</strong></p>
A bit like last year, it’s been a strong early part of the year in terms of music – so I’ve drafted up a little “top 20 albums of the year so far”
Quick reminder of the rules - No remix albums, live albums, EPs, Best Ofs, Alternative Versions, cover albums, etc. - Goth, Industrial, related only – hence the omission of the likes of Black Veil Brides or Bring Me the Horizon - Democratically voted for by a panel consisting of me - Subject to change for any end of year counts – are newer releases in a false position? - I don’t pretend I’ve heard every relevent album this year – have I missed something major? Let me know here! - And, of course, there are some good albums not in my top 20, merely because there were 20 albums I thought were better.
So, here are my thoughts… in reverse order…
20) Grooving in Green – Stranglehold 19) Mindless Self Indulgence – How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit 18) Zynic – Blindsided 17) 9th Evolution – 9E INC 16) Last July – True Story of a Lie 15) Savages – Silence Yourself 14) Krystal System – Rage 13) Bloody Dead and Sexy – Bad Ambient 12) Kitty in a Casket – Bittersweet 11) Waterglass – The Bleak Will Inherit 10) A Life Divided – The Great Escape 9) Alterred – The Time It Takes to Smile 8) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Push The Sky Away 7) Bad Pollyanna – Monsterous Child 6) XP8 – Adrenochrome 5) Terrolokaust – Spit the Posion Out 4) Mesh – Automation Baby 3) Comaduster – Hollow Worlds 2) The .Invalid – Aesthetics of Failure 1) The March Violets – Made Glorious
