I strongly recommend listening to the full Albums instead of just the snippets, because they might not be able to show the full spectrum of the music.

Consider supporting the musicians and the labels that put out your favorite albums of the year, they deserve it.

Hope everyone of you individuals had a good year and will be able to shape the coming year to their advantage, aswell.
