And oh yes, I haven't even tried all the other albums I pinpointed earlier this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted May 31, 2014 Kylie Minogue - Kiss Me Once [["One of us" is chanted in the distance]] Are these supposed to just be albums? I'm listing singles as well so w/e Liphlich-- Hurrah Hurray Kamijo -- Symphony of the Vampire 己龍 -- 暁歌水月 AvelCain -- AvelCain-アベルカイン- アルルカン -- Eclipse Ru:Natic -- [M] / Foggy Night Spookykyo -- Immortalis Honorable mentions (Good, but I'm not sure if they'll end up being a 'top release' for me once the year is up): Jupiter-- LAST MOMENT Kylie Minogue-- Kiss me Once グリーヴァ-- 終焉 / 終焉-MAD death.- According to iTunes, I really haven't tried out a whole lot of music released in 2014...Most of my 'new' stuff were things I just discovered this year.
