I didn't either, but Spotify brought it up right after the Bomber.

Desperate to find at least one excellent album from 2021, so let's give this a shot.
the secret is that 2021 had a ton of great albums but not that many of them came from prog or metal
2022's done a lot to compensate for that though  :corn

I'd agree with this, though it's probably mostly a very different set of albums.

For me 2022 was a journey back to my roots with a new and deeper appreciation for the great music Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, to name a few, gave me.

I did give that year's Chvrches album a listen today. :lol

But yeah 2021 is literally the only year since 1995 I have nothing rated above a 3.5 on my RYM, and I listened to quite a few new releases that year (for my standards). Comparatively, 2019 and 2022 are both sitting at 5 for me.

Willing to listen to suggestions! If you put a gun to my head I'd probably tell you my favorite album from that year was Perturbator's Lustful Sacraments. Panopticon's ...And Again Into The Light would have been my AOTY if the production wasn't so bad.

It kind of depends on what you're looking for more of.  More like those albums, or just great ones in general?  You can always leaf through the best of '21 threads.  Atmospheric black metal is something that misses far more than it hits for me, but I thought the production was mostly fine on it.  I think the instruments are a little out of tune in the first track or two (probably intentionally), but "The Embers At Dawn" was magical.

It definitely could have been worse. I think the main problem for me is how much the guitars get swallowed up by the drums. I've listened to bits of other somewhat-recent Panopticon albums (and all of Autumn Eternal, which is a fantastic album) and I found the mixing to be better on all of them.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Judas Priest - British Steel

I'm in a Priest mood tonight, after having watched the RRHoF performance.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

I'll check out at least a couple of those. I think I gave HEY WHAT one listen and it didn't grab me much.



Here's everything I've listened to so far in my "find a great 2021 album" journey these past couple days. :lol




I'm on that last one now (Atvm - Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless) and it's some pretty fun progressive death metal.

Swap out Turnstile for Ethereal Shroud and I'd agree just based on first listens.

Remina - Strata

Of course over half the album had already come out via singles, but the quality of the rest is on the same level, so this is easily one of the best albums this year.

Can't say I've heard Ethereal Shroud. *sigh* I guess I'll add it to the neverending list. Turnstile is probably better though  :corn

Are you even into atmospheric black metal? If you are you'd probably enjoy it.

I kept hearing people talking about how novel that Turnstile album was, and maybe this is just my lack of familiarity with the styles it's pulling from speaking, but to me it just sounded like pretty normal punk rock. :lol
