Well, not really a shot.

It’s almost time for end of year album lists, so I’m trying to catch up with music I missed from earlier this year. So far, I’ve got Ulver’s Blood Inside, which I was too lazy to get in July. I still need Kayo Dot’s newest (assuming that counts as being released this year), too. Of course, I can’t help but think I’ve missed something important. Suggestions?

Granted, I can count on one hand the people who read this and have similar taste in music. Still, go for it.

Also, first listen of System of a Down’s Hypnotize: not impressed. Holy Mountains is the only standout.
