Funk-pop is excellent!<br /><br />I feel the same about the Fen album. Their demo connected with me much more (though it may just be a stylistic difference).TheChiefCommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780733998697659190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831129275971241444.post-64244966186308181982010-01-02T04:57:47.545-08:002010-01-02T04:57:47.545-08:00Fen was a contender that just missed the mark for ...Fen was a contender that just missed the mark for me. Album was good, but didn't stick in the brain as it maybe should have. I also had to let Agalloch's live thingie off the list cause I had just heard it the evening before, and Pensees Nocturne was also shortlisted away (also Monarque, Arckanum, Altar of Plagues). <br /><br />I'm liking that POS dude and Intro5pect!<br /><br />The jazz fusion album on here is the biggest surprise for me personally, and I didn't expect the Pains to be mentioned, either.<br /><br />It was a very good year for black metal but I would have liked to be able to include more pop, folk, electro or anything else, really.<br /><br />Hey, have a great 2010 my friend, keep on truckin'!Charles D.
