This has been a very ok year. The top 10 or so I really love, but nothing has really blown me away so far this year. The year of the 3.5 and then rarely return to it

Happy to see the love for Mora Mothaus in a couple of lists. Also for PRR! Good list man.

Thanks Dewi! Wouldn’t have found either of those without your reviews. Mora is probably one of my most listened to of the year
