So, we come to the end of January, and with a month’s gap to allow for a little perspective, I had been going to write another ‘top five albums of last year’ list like I did about a year ago. Except that I can’t.
Nevermore, Richard Thompson, Dark Tranquillity, Bellowhead, Iron Maiden and Agalloch all released albums last year. And although I have bought all of them, I haven’t got around to listening to more than a couple of tracks from any of them. Which is a bit of a waste of money, aside from anything else.
So, unfortunately, I don’t feel qualified to write such a list this year. I had vaguely considered the possiblility of it being a regular thing, but it seems it was not to be.
