stoopid Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Agree with Haken and Frost* : http://www.therushfo...20#entry4010866 Gojira's "Magma" is a touch short on content (a few filler tracks, nearly EP length of actual quality songs). Otherwise I like several of those tracks very much. They've managed to polish their sound while staying "heavy". There's a lot of good albums thus far in 2016, but only a handful of really great albums. Average year in music. Sadly not every album by every band released every year is great. :( Edited July 13, 2016 by stoopid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 David Bowie - BlackstarMamiffer - The World UnseenEndon - MAMA (actually released in 2014 in their home country Japan but didn't get a worldwide release until this year)Kayo Dot - Plastic House On Base Of SkyKatatonia - The Fall of HeartsSumac - What One BecomesSteven Wilson - 4 1/2 (I know it's really an EP but it's still one of my favorite releases of this year)Tim Hecker - Love Streams I know for sure that if the year were to end today, What One Becomes and Blackstar are definitely my top 2 favorite albums of the year regardless of genre.

djflex Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I want to give an honroble mention to In mourning - afterglow I think several on here would enjoy them, kinda semi like opeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Taking a wild leap into completely uncharted territory based solely off of the album art. I had a feeling it would be metal but didn't even check ahead of time for confirmation. After track one, not at all my style, but there's something I can follow pretty well about it, so not bad.

How good is it?The songs release prior to the release I really liked but when it came to the album as a whole, I was a bit underwhelmed with the first listen. It wasn't until I saw him play the album live (that being one of the most intense shows I've ever seen but in an abstract way) shortly afterwards that it clicked with me. I don't think it'll top Virgins, but it's still a great album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported.Clearly I don't listen to metal music as much as I did 4 years ago. These days I seek out music (both modern and otherwise) based on connections (i.e. band A is/was on same label as band B/guy in band A also plays in band B/guy in band A enjoys band B/etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I refuse to add any because I'm way too lazy for that. I haven't added any...just too disappointed in the current state of the music scene. By the looks of the albums on the lists, I don't feel I'm missing out on anything. Sincerely yours, Buzz Kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Can safely add Katatonia's "The Fall of Hearts" and the Anderson Stolt collaboration to the best of '16 list. Haken's "Affinity" still in the lead for me though. Anderson Stolt a very close second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
