What a fucking phenomenal year this has been. Each of these records is fantastic, unique, and classic. Propagandhi comes very close to taking top honors from me by sheer force of surprise, but Immortal manages to hold on, since it's essentially like getting a new I record as well.
From there on down my list is almost entirely interchangeable depending on my mood. In a year with so many mind-blowing releases, who can honestly rank them? Well, besides our beloved editor, that is.
