Hell motherfucking yeah! That was seriously one of the most intense albums I've heard in a VERY long time, I can't believe it slipped my mind.

Lazarus is one hell of a metal album, but I'd say Riverside's newest release, Anno Domini High Definition, is quite a doozy also.

My top three:


The Mars Volta-Octahedron


Isis-Wavering Radiant


Silversun Pickups-Swoon

Not necessarily in that order. I also haven't gotten around to the Grizzly Bear or Animal Collective yet (I'm lazy), so that obviously could change.

No not at all but it hasn't blown me away. It will probably make a best of list for end of year but Half yearly lists are too early for me to be 100% sure. I do know that Metric's latest has been one of my let down's of the year so far

I love the Mastodon album and dislike their others! I was going to check out the PJ album but not so sure now.
