BEST a l b u m
Unexpect || Fables of a Sleepless Empire
This album really is like being trapped in the most bizarre and macabre dream ever! Every song moves seamlessly into the next. It's perfect!

BEST b a n d or a r t i s t
Evanescence: I don't think I have much to say They'll always be my favourite band

BEST n e w a r t i s t or b a n d
Noctura: They have been around for a few years, but it was only this year that they were to release their first full length album. If you like Evanescence, there is absolutely no way you won't love Noctura.


BEST f e m a l e v o c a l i s t
Lisa Johansson (Draconian): Her work on the last Draconian album was amazing and ethereal! Sadly it was her last album with the band, which makes me even more keen on getting her voice out there.

BEST m a l e v o c a l i s t
Devin Townsend (Devin Townsend Project): He's the most compelling (and nicest!) musician I've ever had the great chance of being introduced to. I saw him in concert last month and that just sealed his place as my favourite male vocalist/musician/person ever.

BEST s i n g l e
Within Temptation || Sinead

BEST v i d e o
LMFAO || Sexy and I Know It
The first time I saw this video, my jaw hit the floor and I couldn't stop laughing for ages.

BEST l i v e s h o w
Sarah McLachlan & Friends [March 6, 2011]
After years of being a fan, I finally got to see her live and she did not disappoint! I've never been so blown away by a live performance before.

MOST a n t i c i p a t e d a l b u m in 2012
Stolen Babies: It has been 6 years since we've had an album. I think they're really close, so fingers crossed!

ONE r e c o m m e n d a t i o n
Bitter Ruin: I cannot recommend these guys enough. Some of the best and versatile female vocals with very complimentary male vocals. Please check them out? I've provided a link to the thread I made ages ago!

No, I just meant overall. Maybe I should specify?

I don't know many yet, but VersaEmerge is supposed to be releasing a new album so I'm excited for that, but going with already titled ones, "Now" - Fireflight (March 2012)

ONE r e c o m m e n d a t i o n
A friend of mine recently got me really into Hardstyle Techno music, so I think my recommendation is going to be the whole genre of Hardstyle Techno. The beats are awesome and it's so fun to turn up and dance to.

This is one of my favorites.

I know what you mean, nothing better to soothe your soul than Elbow's music, songs like The Everthere or Some Riot give me the chills
