My Favourite Albums of 2010

Jan 5th

Lots of great music released in 2010. There have been plenty of albums I've really liked - but which have been my five favourite?

In This Moment "A Star Crossed Wasteland"
I know I'm too old for this sh*t, but when it popped up as an Amazon suggestion I checked the band out. Bloody hell what a surprise, the kind of band that the Kerrang kiddy channel would play but I actually like. While most young American metal seems like a load of noisy strummy crap this band actually likes a bit of harmony, plenty of Maiden-like moments in the music and vocalist Maria Brink really is going to be a megastar.

Example tracks - The Promise, The Gun Show

Welcome to GrumpyDaddy. Here you'll find the trials and tribulations of me - Harry. During the time writing this blog I've been a single bloke, married, father of newborn twins and widower, husband and father again. A professional writer by trade, this is the place where I exorcise (and exercise) all my personal nonsense, most often (but not limited to) my experiences as a husband and father of three children. Note - not all the grumpyness is genuine.

- Cowon S9 32GB Mini-review
  The Cowon S9 32GB is without doubt the best music player I've owned. Previously I had an iRiver Clix 2 4GB that I was very happy with as it combined good sound quality with the ability to read books. I've also got a Creative Zen 32GB which was great as I…
- Internet Explorer 7
  What a surprise, it’s actually rather good. I’ve been running the latest public beta build for the last couple of days and I’m rather impressed, not just with the strong security, but also with the layout of the controls. It’s certainly a less fussy b…

  One of the most anticipated releases to reach the Grumpyrocker offices is the debut album from Black Moth entitled The Killing Jar. The problem with hyping any album is that it will never quite live up to your expectations. After finally managing to coa…

  Anison are another new band and with their debut album Memory Flashes they promise a rush of melancholy that engrosses through its many layers, ignited by the delicate intro that comes as a calm before the proverbial emotional and sonic storm so Jimbo w…
