Updating my top 5

1. Devin Townsend - Empath
2. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest The Rats' Nest
3. Anamanaguchi - [USA]
4. Opeth - In Cauda Venenum
5. Dream Theater - Distance Over Time

#5 is a tough call between Distance Over Time and Fear Inoculum because they're both like, extremely light 7/10s for me. But Distance Over Time is at least a respectable length so I'm going with that one.

6. Flotsam and Jetsam - The End of Chaos

 :metal

Hell yes, brother!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I'll update this again when I've given Sleep Token more plays than I already have at this point, but I'm pretty sure that's entering the top 10.
I'm pretty certain my top 3 will remain Hypno5e, Cult of Luna and Leprous until the rest of the year at least, but I'm not sure about the order.

I also finally checked out the Billie Eilish album, took me long enough.. it's really good to be honest. Though don't think it'll end up in the top 10.

3. The Comet is Coming: Trust in the Life Force of the Deep Mystery
4. Tides From Nebula: From Voodoo to Zen
5. The Chasing Monster: Errant
7. Jolly: Family
8. Periphery: IV-Hail Stan

This year is so good. I love all of these yet none of them managed to make it into my top 10. You're the first person I've seen on here that knows The Chasing Monster!

I think I found them through either rym or bandcamp.  Errant is a really good record.  Definitely takes you on a journey!

Didn't bother listening to a lot this year but;

My 2019 top 10;

1. Insomnium - Heart Like A Grave
2. Slipknot - We Are Not Your Kind
3. Tool - Fear Inoculum
4. Dream Theater - Distance Over Time
5. The Ferrymen - A New Evil
6. Soilwork - Verkligheten
7. Evergrey - The Atlantic
8. Netherbird - Into the Vast Uncharted
9. Korn - The Nothing
10. Starbreaker - Dysphoria

The new Hammerfall just missed out but could be subbed in for Starbreaker.  The top spot is a tussle between Insomnium and Slipknot.  At the moment it's Insomnium.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

I don't remember my older list but I'm gonna update this now in case I forget to do so by the end of the year, but I have about 20 more albums I got only recently that have a shot at this still.

edit: here's my old list. looks like not much has changed, just stuff i've really latched onto in the last 4 months has been added and Warforged hopped over Illyria by a hair

i don't remember my last list

1. A Novelist - Folie
2. Thank You Scientist - Terraformer
3. Illyria - The Carpathian Summit
4. Warforged - I: Voice
5. La Dispute - Panorama
6. Devin Townsend - Empath

1. A Novelist - Folie
2. Somn - The All-Devouring
3. Thank You Scientist - Terraformer
4. Warforged - I: Voice
5. Illyria - The Carpathian Summit
6. La Dispute - Panorama
7. Adrift - Pure
8. An Isolated Mind - I'm Losing Myself
9. We Never Learned to Live - The Sleepwalk Transmissions
10. Devin Townsend - Empath

Honorable Mentions:
Wheel - Moving Backwards
The Physics House Band - Death Sequence (EP)
Poly-math - Sensors in Everything (EP)

33 thru 52 on this list (or what will be at least 54 as I have two more albums ordered that aren't shipped yet/may not ship this year) are all still in contention though and I expect the bottom few of this list at least will get pushed off. no clue which ones will be the ones that stand out as faves yet because there's a lot of stuff I'm excited for there, still  :lol

nothing will top A Novelist because nothing has months to grow on me to the extent it becomes a 5* album for me, so

Looking through my library and I have nearly 30 albums from this year with a couple more still to get. The list screams good but not great to me. Very little really stood out and grabbed me. Just kind of a boring year for music for me.

1. Tool - Fear Inoculum
          Not much to say here. The album exceeded all of my expectations. Easy pick.

2. Dream Theater - Distance Over Time
          My shocking entry (to myself). Not sure I have ever had a DT album in my Top 5 list. This is a tour de force. MM was finally given his chance to shine.

3. District 97 - Screens
          Saw them open for Flying Colors and they blew me away. Leslie has a crazy good voice. Bought their whole catalog and 2 Leslie solo records.

4. Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure
          Big surprise here. Similitude bored me and I just didn't care for it. I loved this record.

Best of the rest in no particular order:

Kobra And The Lotus - Evolution

Ray Alder - What The Water Wants

Sara Bareilles - Amidst The Chaos

Queensryche - The Verdict

Flying Colors - Third Degree

I still have to get William DuVall's solo album and I recently bought almost the entire Soilwork catalog during Nuclear Blast's Black Friday sale and their album from this year is in that batch.
beul ni teh efac = Lube In The Face / That has to be wrong.  :lol / EDIT: Oh, it's Blue! I'm an idiot.
Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history

So the last week in December (or there abouts) I'm going to start compiling everyone's lists to make the definitive DTF Top Ten Albums of 2019. So if everyone can have everyone's lists in by the end of the year (or there abouts :biggrin:) I will have this done some time in January along with whatever stats I can glean from it.

I still got 3 or 4 to check out, and then I'll get around to ranking my top 10. Shouldn't be a problem to have it for the end of the month/year/decade.

Um. Late contender. "Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery" by The Comet Is Coming. I don't know where exactly it's gonna land, but it's in my top 10 after finally getting around to playing it today. Just blown away by the whole thing. Incredible! I have no idea how to describe it other than 'weird and awesome.'

Wait how can the new Tool and Slipknot be in your top decade albums but Rammstein and Leprous are not (since they rank higher on their respective genre AOTY list)??

Anyway cool to see someone else mention Hypno5e around here, sometimes feel like I’m the only fan here.. though they probably fit more in the prog metal category than metal
Klone is also a nice surprise even though I didn’t love the latest album, I’m a much bigger fan of Here Comes the Sun :corn
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.
