I was able to pick 8 favorites and then wasn't able to decide on what should be in the last two spots.
In no particular order:
Anathema - We're Here Because We're here
Devin Townsend - Addicted
Ghost - Opus Eponymous
Necro Deathmort - Music of Bleak Origin
Grayceon - All We Destroy
Steven Wilson - Grace for Drowning
Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire
Kimbra - Vows
The albums in the running for the last two spots were: Portal of I, Pandora's Pinata, Heritage, Garden Window, The Valley, Ghost, Deconstruction, Escailles De Lune, Storm Corrosion, and A Dramatic Turn of Events.
