Ugh, I feel like my list will change when the Seer Believer album comes out on Friday. If it's anything like the last one or the singles, it's going to be high up the list.
Damn, I didn’t know this was happening at all. Probably will lodge its way into my list somewhere as well, but it’s the last thing I needed while trying to spend time revisiting stuff!
