Didn't fit in a great deal of new tunes that blew my socks off this year. so pretty easy to put into 10 albums

King Buffalo - Regenerator
My Sleeping Karma - Atma
OTT - Heads
Wheel - Rumination EP
Wo Fat - The Singularity
Xavier Rudd - Jan Juc Moon
Somali yacht club - The Space
Clutch - Sunrise on slaughter beach
All them witches - Bakers Dozen
The Black Angels - Wilderness of mirrors

Special mention to Slipknots latest effort. Enjoyed the shit out of em when they first came out 20+ years ago, lost interest by Volume 3. Everything since then was boring AF, to me but didn't hate their latest effort. If, like me you enjoyed them for what they are when they debuted, not a bad listen for a bunch of old cobbers.
