Pleased to see Magenta - We Are Legend getting a fee mentions. Its easily their best album since Seven.
I liked the new Roger Waters album a lot as well.
Perhaps oddly I preferred The Second Brightest Star over Grimspound as far as the years Big Big Train release's go.
Dave Kerzner's second album is a delight and almost as good a New World. My wish for 2018 is that more people take notice of him!

1) Magenta - We Are Legend
2) Dave Kerzner - Static
3) Big Big Train - The Second Brightest Star
4) Roger Waters - Is This The Life We Really Want?
5) Wobbler - From Silence To Nowhere
6) Kaipa - Children Of The Sounds
7) Amplifier - Trippin With Dr Faustus
8) Caligula's Horse - In Contact
9) Lifesigns - Cardington
10) Big Big Train - Grimspound

Zu - Jhator
Faust - Fresh Air
Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar
Tusmørke - Bydyra
Cheer Accident - Putting Off Death
Major Parkinson - Blackbox
Grails - Chalice Hymnal
Elder - Reflections of a Floating World
Himmellegeme - Myth of Earth
Aquaserge - Laisse ca Etre
