I don't like any of these. lol.

Wilderun and Evergrey released incredible albums this year. Easy votes for those two.

Love it! Thanks for doing this game! 5 Live After Death +2 4 Brave New World +3 2 "The Wicker Man" [alt. picture disc] 1 Fear of the Dark +1 0 Best of the Beast 0 "Different World" [digital]

I find the lack of Apex votes disturbing.

Nah, I’ll critique them and judge the song based on all musical characteristics.

Worst song in at least 20 years. Pure childish trash.

Because, no doubt, there are high profile Democrats in those files, too. Release the files. Imprison them all. Give all their money to the victims. Fuck all pedophiles.

Yeah, I’m certainly hoping others are doing this. I’ve been trying to for most of them. I still have a few to listen to for this year, but I’ve already heard IE, Mastodon, Soen, Blaze and Ne Obliviscaris. Some good parts on all, but overall not my favorite. Kreator, Enslaved and Ulver are...

Apex is the best album here by a mile, followed very closely by The Source. Those will probably remain my only votes for this year.

Dems made good wins. At this point I truly don’t care where they land between left and center as long as they are blue.

I also gave some casual quick-run listens through Dystopia, Jomsviking and The Last Stand and all of them are the same thing: a decent album by a band that has already peaked and is just repeating themselves to get to the next tour. Of the three, Last Stand has the most standout tracks, but none...

Continuing to listen... Anthrax - For All Kings I've been very, very loud with my critique of Joey Belladonna and Anthrax as a whole. That said, this album is really, really good. Not even Belladonna can stop it from being great. The last three songs are a bit of a letdown (especially Thieves...

Albums I’ve sampled over the past day: Borknagar - Winter Thrice Brilliant music. Amazing atmosphere. Clean vocals are pretty good. Harsh vocals are too black metal for me. There’s a lot to dig into here and I might give this a vote. And all of the following which are very much not for me...

I'm gonna need to listen to every album this year that I haven't heard because, wow, this is a super uninspiring year of releases for me. Shockingly, For All Kings (no "the" BTW) might be the best album released by the Big Three this year. And I really, really don't like Joey Belladonna...

I think it's both hilarious and sad. Hoping it sounds good.
