29) The Haunting Nostalgia - Circle of Ghosts (Canada) [Black Metal]
30) Surtur Rising - Amon Amarth (Sweden) [Melodic Death Metal]
And onto the rest. I'm leaving out most of the more recognizable albums ('El Camino', 'Bon Iver, Bon Iver', 'Ceremonials' etc.) and again, the order is of little significance:
1) Yuck - Yuck (England) [Noise Rock]

23) Dirty Jazz - Iconoclast (USA) [Jazz]
24) Take Care, Take Care, Take Care - Explosions in the Sky (USA) [Post-Rock]
25) Ex-Tropical - Lost Animal (Australia) [I'm about as uncertain of where to place this album as the rest of the internet it would seem. Just give it a listen. Debut album of the year]
Anyway, I feel there is plenty here for just about anyone and I know I am going to kick myself daily for the next while as I slowly remember albums that should likely have made the cut. Might have to make a few edits (but I probably won't). Also, I realize I am a few months behind the rest of the world, but what can ya do. Enjoy!
