Also, Jessy's album is really bad. Her debut was ok-ish but this is so bland.
She has zero charisma and no interesting melodies to offer.

How dare you?

Tom, Bloomers and others, recommend me some essential metal albums please. The only bands I listened to were Deafheaven and Baroness

Some other notable albums that released this year that I liked;

Cult Of Luna - Mariner
Cobalt - Slow Forever (my personal favorite one)
Fallujah - Dreamless
Killswitch Engage - Incarnate
Sixx:A.M. - Prayers For The Damned

I haven't checked out the one Bloomers mentioned yet.

Oh No deserves the acclaim Art Angels got. I've seen a couple of people compare them sonically now.

They both somewhat belong to the same genre but otherwise the similarities are not that big in my opinion.
I feel like she sounds very Grimes-ish on her vocals sometimes but that's about it.
Except for VV Violence which sounds like a straight up AA copy.

VV Violence is better than at least 80% of ARTANGELS.

Brodka's album is not necessirely bad, rather lackluster or uneventful. It's different (by different I mean worse) than her previous work.

And I'm glad so many people stan for Jessy I'm actually seeing her live this Saturday

How far back in Metal are you trying to go?

Try any one of Mastodon's first 4 albums, and then Blackwater Park by Opeth.

Tom, I saw the Vektor cover the other day when Pitchfork reviewed it and loved it. Haven't listened though. I've been super busy recently. Will check out as soon as possible.

Those are great albums! If you liked Baroness (i stan hard for them), you'd love the Kvelertak album.

I'm not really great at digesting newer albums right away, it takes me some time to sit with them and process them, but I like Cobalt's newest that Tom mentioned.

Some older ones from the past couple years I enjoy:

Ecstatic Vision's Sonic Praise from last year rocks hard in a psychedelic way and it really works great as an album. Blut Aus Nord's The Desanctification is a personal fave of mine (it's slower and not as aggressive. I know metal's loudness can be a turn-off), Royal Thunder's CVI has this sludgy southern classic rock vibe I really love (the band is also probably my favorite female fronted metal band).

there are so many quality metal albums It just might be the most high quality genre.

I strongly endorse these also. I've been a huge Mastodon stan since my dad gave me a copy of Blood Mountain in 2006. I also caught Mastodon on tour, the show was probably the best show I have ever seen.

I'd say Mastodon's discography is a must for any music fan. Opeth is great also, and don't sleep on Gorguts.

I'm really liking it! Today I Saw The Whole World is one of favs so far.

[AlexisNeiers]

[Kxvk]

Bankrupt! by Phoenix is such a fun album.

[Bloomers]

I watched Bajiaro Mastani recently and I've been pretty obsessed with the soundtrack.

BADBADNOTGOOD announced their new album yesterday and it already leaked

[Wicked]

Never listened to BADBADNOTGOOD.

I'm actually in the market for some singer/songwriter stuff atm. Any recommendations? I don't care about the artists gender/sexual preference.

Most of what I've already heard you can see on my last.fm.

[Tom Vercetti]

Idk who BADBADNOTGOOD is but that scenario is hilarious. Also, idk if there's any hip hop heads here but Havoc & The Alchemist's joint album The Silent Partner is out there.

[Bloomers]

I forgot I posted my CD collection some time back.

Here's the link to it if anybody is interested. http://atrl.net/?p=26630106 Some of the pictures are pretty low quality.

They had a decent collab album with Ghostface last year I think?

Will try out the Alchemist and Havoc. Alchemist is too prolific.

Are you interested in older stuff? I'm a huge Jackson Browne stan. He was a singer songwriter working out of California in the 70s and 80s. I'd compare his sound to Father John Misty, but less modern and sneering.



For something relatively newer, I've been listening to Valerie June recently. I like her 2013 album a lot.



I like her more folky southern album.

What? I saw an article announcing their new song with the Future Islands guy (right?) and the album is already out poor them. I may listen out of pity.

Oh my god, fantastic collection I have a little over 70 CDs and 3 LPs

Where do you usually buy albums? I love good deals, second hand record stores and rarely buy albums in full price or when they come out (unless I'm going to a concert and want something to get signed)

And speaking of that, does any of you have any signed albums? Or maybe some rarities or something?

Just listen with a box of tissues.
