Awesome! There is a ton of great Americana here, particularly Trace, Anodyne, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes, and Strangers Almanac. So great to see Uncle Tupelo and their offspring getting the love they deserve. I really need to check out Satyricon, as it's the only album in your top ten that I haven't spent a lot of time with. Given the excellence of your other choices, it seems unlikely I won't enjoy it. Great work!
