10. Brian Posehn-Fart & Wiener Jokes (Relapse)I didn't just put this on my list to suck up to Henry. This is obviously hilarious. I mean, even if you don't have a CD player, you could just spend the hour laughing at the cover. He's been telling a lot of these jokes for a while now, but they're still awesome.
9. VRSA-Old Man Gray (Last Bastion)
This is a band from CT that sent me their album sometime this summer. It's pretty cool. I think they like a lot of the same bands that I like.
A lot of people criticize this album for being more accessible, but I was never really that impressed with High On Fire until I heard this. So fuck them. This album's more badass than Rambo with a chainsaw gun.
6. MF Doom-MF Borat
This EP was recorded in 2006 when Sacha Baron Cohen was promoting the Borat movie. Nothing was done with it, so Doom put it out on the internet earlier in the year. The music's sampled from old soul songs. It's great. Should be easily available. If not, let me know. I'll put it up or something.
5. Mugison-Ítrekun
Ítrekun is Icelandic for live album. Maybe. I don't really know. I speak American. But I do know this live album is better than most studio albums I got this year.
Mike Patton performing old Italian pop songs with an orchestra.
If anyone was reading any of the three websites that I write on in early June, you're probably wondering why this isn't number one. I think because I'm still in my honeymoon stage with these next two albums.
2. Kylesa-Spiral Shadow (Season of Mist)
Perhaps the only band that I've written more about this year than The Mevins. This album really pushes everything they've been doing.
This is a perfect album from start to finish. It incorporates some Steroid Maximus elements into Foetus. Everyone should get this. Go, Team Venture!
