Update. That was the last of November for me... been a slow couple of weeks for releases. It's actually been pretty nice to be able to re-listen to lots of stuff and get my EOTY list together... I'm probably going to do a Top 50. Also, if you're into shreddy tech-metal kind of stuff, check out Oni... that record has been slaying me the past week.
