If you read this page regularly, thanks. If you put any stock in the opinions here presented, thanks even more. I don’t delude myself into thinking there’s some grand impact being made, but if you check out a CD or download something or go to someone’s MySpace because you saw the name or the link here, I think that’s fucking awesome and appreciate it more than I can say. Once again, here’s my list of the top five albums so far this year:

1. Los Natas, Nuevo Orden de la Libertad
2. Wino, Punctuated Equilibrium
3. Truckfighters, Mania
4. Heaven and Hell, The Devil You Know
5. Goblin Cock, Come with Me if You Want to Live

By way of honorable mention, I’ll point out Brothers of the Sonic Cloth‘s 2009 demo and Candlemass‘ Death Magic Doom. There are others. Lots of them.

But the time for looking back is over, at least for now. The rest of this year will bring new records from Yob, Clutch and (hopefully) Masters of Reality, and a shit ton more, so there’s still plenty to look forward to and enjoy when the release dates come. I’ll do my best to keep up with it all, and if you stumble back this way at some point along the line, then thanks again.
