Best of 2006 : Music

I haven't listened to too much music released in 2006 owing to my extreme indulgence in a few newly discovered bands. Although I discovered both bands old and new, I thought it'd be nice to prepare a list containing just my favourite 2006 releases. Last year also turned out to be radical in terms of the genres I started listening to. Metal suddenly took a back seat and in came post-rock, post-metal, jam rock, noise rock, math rock, sludge, doom, drone, jazz etc., which according to me is a good thing. I also got into techno for a brief period, which is also good! So, lets get on with the list.

1) The Ladies - They Mean Us

2) The Snake Trap - At Home In A Hostile World

3) Battles - EP C/B EP

4) Tool - 10,000 Days

5) Mastodon - Blood Mountain

6) Isis - In The Absence Of Truth

7) Don Caballero - Wold Class Listening Problem

Other releases that I enjoyed include The Advantage - The Elf-Titled, You.May.Die.In.The.Deesrt - Bears In The Yukon, Wolf Eyes - Human Animal, The Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra, The Melvins - A Senile Animal. I do not have any patience to review these albums right now. Go get these albums and write your own reviews!
