I didn't actually here that much bad stuff last year! I avoided all the crap I knew would be shite. Dali, Eskimo etc.
I did listen to Skazi - I'm a Wanker in Tower records though! That was alright until I pushed play.
The worst album I bought & listened to was Electric Universe - Silence in Action. On the whole it wasn't that bad but the 2 guitar tracks took it from average to shite IMO
Where abouts in Tokyo do you live pandemonium?
