  2. Painted Shut - Hop Along

Struggling to put Book of Souls by Iron Maiden on the list. Not sure how I feel about it. Idk if I have 10 either, haven't listened to a tonne of new music this year.

 

Meliora by Ghost would be my top album of the year, obviously. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Ghost. I think Meliora was an incredible album and really showed Papa's range as a singer. Especially with songs like He Is and Deud in Absentia. Also Mummy Dust, Pinnacle, Cirice and Majesty are all incredible songs. As are they all, including the ones I haven't mentioned.

 

Are You Satisfied by Slaves. They made their debut album this year in June and I managed to see them live a couple weeks back. They're a two-piece punk band with some pop influences that come out of Kent, England. And by pop punk I don't mean A band like BMTH or ADTR. God no

:lol: The Hunter, Live Like an Animal, Do Something and Sockets are all great songs and get pretty heavy at times. There are even some doom influences in their music too.

 

Repentless by Slayer was a pretty good album. Not their best, but not their worst. I have a hard time caring about Slayer anymore (even though I saw them & Anthrax in London last night :D). I dig the album, but I don't think I'll rush to listen to it anytime soon.

1. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

2. Christine and the Queens - Christine and the Queens

3. Everything Everything - Get to Heaven

4. Czarface - Every Hero Needs a Villain

5. Iglooghost - Chinese Nu Yr EP

6. Lianne La Havas - Blood

7. Grimes - Art Angels (spoiler alert b4thereviewcomes)

8. The Game - The Documentary 2.5

9. Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

10. Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth

 

I still have more albums to listen to, missed a ton and probably more faves coming through that may overtake some. But judging on my personal enjoyment and rating comparison of each, this is probably the best list I got so far.

Motörhead - Bad Magic

Baroness - Purple

Ghost - Meliora

Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower

Kylesa - Exhausting Fire

 

 

That's about it, I guess...off the top of my head, anyway. Haven't heard the new Tame Impala, but I dig them...so, there's a possibility that could be on there as well. Think I'd go with Kylesa for my number 1. That album is just really f'in good.
