JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADOh yeah dude, 2022 is going to be INSANE For rock and metal. I saw a list on Twitter of all the upcoming releases for the year and it wasOh yeah, Ghost and Slipknot will be awesome! Don't think there's any chance of a release this year, but that makes next years line up crazy already. A7x, Ghost, Slipknot...
This Fall was really great for Metal releases and my Album of the year was definetly one of them. Now I couldn't decide which of those would be the one best Album of this year but I thought I list my top picks and y'all could do the same or give your opinion on the topic.
So here we go:
Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
Ice Nine Kills - Welcome to Horrorwood
Trivium - In the Court of the Dragon
Jinjer - Wallflower
Bullet for my Valentine - self titled
Seether - Si vis Pacem Parabellum
Gojira - Fortitude
If I had to choose an order this would probably be it, although the top 3 are constantly switching. Right now my Top one would be INK. Can't wait to hear your picks!
No Mastodon? That can't be right! I haven't heard the whole album yet, but I'm guessing it's top choice for me.
I recently got into INK and right now it's a little hard for me to go back to other Bands. The way they combine heavy, fun, cinematic and just Epic elements in their Songs is quite unique.Spiritbox hit my radar a couple days ago, and so far, I really do enjoy it. I like the new INK, but I'm not sure it's enough of a departure from TSS to really be a winner for me. The new Trivium was disappointing to me at first, but more listens have brought love. I really dig that one.
New Dream Theater is, to me, their best since Scenes from a Memory. Iron Maiden's Senjutsu is great, but I think if they'd trimmed a few tunes down to make it a single album it would be better.
Twelve Foot Ninja's new album, Vengeance, is killer.
But if I'm picking an album of the year for 2021 so far, there's no contest - Between the Buried and Me: "Colors II."
Yeah dude, Colors ll is just… wow hahaSpiritbox hit my radar a couple days ago, and so far, I really do enjoy it.

Wow, I totally missed your First commentOn a serious note besides my own EP the only three I can really think of are Senjutsu by Iron Maiden, sob Rock by John Mayer and Gold diggers sound by Leon Bridges

Mastodon is definitely my favorite of the year so far. Hushed & Grim is fantastic. I've had time to really digest all of it, and I also saw them live in Nashville last week (so good - much better than I expected them to be live), and they played a lot of the new stuff. I still currently like the Emperor of Sand album better, but with H&G being a double album, there is so much to take in. Your tastes are probably a little heavier, but I would encourage you to check it out. Maybe just start with the first half though and let it sink in. Then if you like, move on to the back half. My favorite tracks are Pain With an Anchor, The Crux, Teardrinker, and The Beast, which are all in the first half, BTW.Never got into Mastodon. Let me know what you think once you heard it all!
For me Mastodon is a giant pile of incredible pieces that don't add up to a sum greater than the parts, and while I love the odd song here and there, I just don't love any of their albums.
Definitely not that there's "too much going on." I did briefly enjoy Emperor of Sand, but not enough to keep it on repeat. Steambreather and Jaguar God stuck out for me, but I dunno, they just don't GRAB me like they should, for what they do. Something intangible is missing for me.Mastodon is definitely my favorite of the year so far. Hushed & Grim is fantastic.

Ed, I feel like a lot of people feel the way you do. Maybe because there's so much going on with them - three different guys singing (many times in the same song), weird progressive stuff, at least one member that's crazy, and may actually be stoned like all the time, etc. I don't know. I do know I love a lot of what they come up with! And Emperor of Sand is one of my top 5 favorite albums.
