Best post-industrial album of the year
It seems HEALTH are mostly ignored here, which I don't quite get, but when it comes to the industrial type of sound I like I think they are one of the current best. A lot of really interesting collaborations that work. From the highlight with NIN to Backxwash to The Body and many others. An engaging listen. [First added to this chart: 04/12/2022]

@Moondance I am sure there is some good Aussie albums I haven't heard yet. I had a bit of a quieter year in 2022 and didn't get to listen to as many albums as usual but I epect more will be added as time goes on :)

Always a delight to check out your charts and your 'classification' system. Equally nice to see a good percentage of Aussie albums make the cut - personally, I think you should have more Aussie albums: but hey, I'm super-biased.
