… I thought this would be easy but it turns out there were a hell of a lot of good albums by some of my favourite bands out this year!

As always its only 9 that I have picked out and the artwork from each album is shown below, you don’t want or need to hear why I think they are awesome but all I ask is that if you have not heard any of them, give them a go as you will not be disappointed…

Lets hope for lots more awesomeness this year!!
