cyrusr Posted November 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2017 Was looking through old lists to see what new music I have bought over the last year. Looking back sadly don't think that there has been much great music. This list is easily the best of what I've bought (in no particular order): - Code Orange - Forever John Garcia - The Coyote Who Spoke in Tongues Mastodon - Emperor of Sands Mark Lanegan - Gargoyle Pallbearer - Heartless Municipal Waste - Slime and Punishment Enslaved - E Myrkur - Mareridt Mastodon - Cold Dark Place (EP) Converge - the Dusk in Us Electric Wizard - Wizard Bloody Wizard Anal Trump - If You Thought Six Million Jews Was A Lot Of People, You Should've Seen My Inauguration (EP) All good albums though and would recommend all. I do feel like I have missed something though... Top 5 in order I would say: Enslaved - E Mastodon - Emperor of Sands Myrkur - Mareridt Code Orange - Forever Pallbearer - Heartless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make Napalm Death seem like noodling prog (Not to my taste I'd add) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 In a year where Full of Hell released an LP, as well as a colab LP with The Body, Cannibal Corpse put out a decent effort, and Sunlight's Bane released a pretty sweet debut LP, I can only assume an Anal Trump inclusion is a joke - it'd struggle to place on even a grind best of the year list :lol: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their "Album" from last year is about 3 minutes long! 2 hours ago, hogso said: In a year where Full of Hell released an LP, as well as a colab LP with The Body, Cannibal Corpse put out a decent effort, and Sunlight's Bane released a pretty sweet debut LP, I can only assume an Anal Trump inclusion is a joke - it'd struggle to place on even a grind best of the year list I quite like it to be honest! It is more of a joke project by the Cattle Decapitation guy but more in reaction to the nonsense that is Trump! Still think the EP just a bit of fun and makes me smile. I did forget about the Cannibal Corpse album, that is a good solid record too to be fair. Not listened to the Full of Hell record, probably should though!

JoshVilla Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Steven Wilson - To The Bone Mastodon - Emperor of Sand Everything Everything - A Fever Dream Kendrick Lamar - Damn Sikth - The Future In Whose Eyes? Thundercat - Drunk Primus - The Desaturating Seven At The Drive In - Interalia Obviously an old album but Prince - Purple Rain (deluxe), had been waiting a while for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Lots of metal on these lists, nice. I've barely heard anything this year. Off the top of my head I've enjoyed the new 21 Savage and 2 Chainz records and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This is my favourite album from this year. It shouldn't be, it's made from lots of terrible things. One of my friends said the album gave him nightmares The change of mood at around 5 minutes makes me Also liked this... It's the Rawtekk that's really blown me away though, it was 2016 but just got the CD this year. Its soaring sonic architecture, you can nearly see it. Think on this one, @blandy YouTube REALLY doesn't do the sonics justice. On 12/1/2017 at 17:26, Seat68 said: You people are all too cool for school.

dAVe80 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Still not got round to doing a list yet, but I'll be including a very recent find, Tyler The Creator - On Flower Boy. I've been spinning it constantly the past couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
