2010; an oddity of a year with lots of great releases from obscure and relatively unheard of bands, while at the same time some horrendous, shameful duds released by many household names. Could things get any more topsy turvy?

Subject to change, as I see fit.

1. Illidiance - Damage Theory

2. Radiance (FIN) - The Burning Sun

3. Amogh Symphony - The Quantum Hack Code

4. Allegaeon - Fragments Of Form And Function

5. Mourning Lenore - Loosely Bounded Infinities

Here follows a short list of albums released in 2010, which did not live up to anything spectacular even if SOME of them showed so much promise based on previous releases. Some less disappointing/some more but they all vary in degrees of Anticipation and eventual Gut-wrenching heart ache.

NOTE: The albums with lowest disappointment factor appear last, progressively becoming more bad until you finally reach the most shockingly unfullfilling album of 2010

1. Dark Lunacy - Weaver Of Forgotten

2. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

3. Abigail Williams - In The Absence Of Light

4. Finntroll - Nifelvind

5. Arsis - Starve For The Devil
