2019 is the year of triumphant returns
My favorite bands return with new records and don’t disappoint! Mostly..
It has been a really good year for music. |
1 | | Pelican Nighttime Stories
These guys put their heart and soul into this new one and it definitely shows.
4.5/5 |
2 | | Torche Admission
Really damn catchy. I didn’t know what to think at first but I am sold now!! So good!
4/5 |
3 | | Krallice Wolf
The best black metal band.
4/5 |
4 | | The Appleseed Cast The Fleeting Light of Impermanence
The return to form I was waiting for. Soooo much better than the last one.
Engaging all throughout. Memorable and well written songs. Flows great.
4/5 |
5 | | Cave In Final Transmission
Definitely a little rough around the edges but still a really great listen.
So bummed about Caleb. RIP. I hope they continue to write music.
4/5 |
6 | | Tomb Mold Planetary Clairvoyance
So badass. Sick riffs for days. I love this band.
4/5 |
7 | | Thom Yorke Anima
This might be the best thing Thom has done since Kid A. I honestly believe that.
4.5/5 |
8 | | Tim Hecker Anoyo
3.5/5 |
9 | | Elder (USA-MA) The Gold and Silver Sessions
Softer than their previous output but I seem to like this more than everyone else. Chills
4/5 |
10 | | Crumb Jinx
Solid
3.5/5 |
11 | | Snarky Puppy Immigrance
Definitely the best since We Like it Here.
4/5 |
12 | | Steve Moore Beloved Exile
Perfect when I’m needing some good background music or something escapist. I love how eerie some of this is. Great for driving
4/5 |
13 | | Helms Alee Noctiluca
Probably my least favorite if there’s but there are still some killer songs. This one seems more straight forward.
I’ll still return to this.
3.5/5 |
14 | | Earth Full Upon Her Burning Lips
Same description as Helms Alee. Great but my least favorite of theirs.
3.5/5 |
15 | | Drab Majesty Modern Mirror
Still absorbing this one but it’s right up there with The Demonstration.
Some people might say their sound is a bit derivative but the songwriting and overall
aesthetic make up for it.
4/5 |
