Albums that have exceeded your expectations this year
(ying to the 'albums that have disappointed you's yang)
For me... Thursday - No Devolucion.
I've heard some Thursday stuff before (their split with Envy etc) and just thought they were a fairly generic emoy-hardcorey band with little chance of ever making much of an impact on my life. Their new one is just superb though, even though it does a lot of things that usually wind me up (slighly over-wrought clean vocals etc etc)I've listened to it loads and love it.
YOU?
