Meh, Rivers of Nihil album is 100% not going to reach my top 10 anymore, too many better albums. Poly-Math is good but seriously #1 of the year?
I listened to Monotheist today, first half totally not my thang, sounds like a worse version of Ezerath (which I guess is decent?), second half better. Infinite Wisdom was the only song I'd call great, and I'm pretty sure it was the only song without vocals. Slugdge album is awesome but it's been too long since I've spun it so I don't know if it will reach the top 10 yet.
