by a long shot.

 

I wouldn't say by a long shot, but perhaps. See below.

If you like or appreciate heavy music, particularly bands with Black Sabbath-leanings, give this album a listen.


 

 

Forgot that came out this year. Awesome stuff.

Surprised to see you post 4 albums I haven't listened to yet. [i thought we were in a similar vein, no?]

have to relisten to some albums, there were quite a few "good" albums (health, grimes, alpine, every time I die, die! die! die!, metric, off!), but not a lot of "great" albums.

 

After seeing them live, the songs became somewhat forgettable.

Swans and Godspeed




But honestly, Valtari - Sigur Ros deserves real consideration.


Also, Caspian apparently had a release earlier this year that I missed, so that will be taken into consideration. I haven't had time to sit down and weigh this one out, yet, but I'm positive that this year wasn't as fun as last year. :/

other than that, I've really been listening to a lot of older music that either I've forgotten about or that I have recently discovered!
