A few releases where there is some consensus (although that Jez dude is way out in left field ).

Yeah, Jez is usually on another playing field. But so am I.

Dan - now I know why you thought 2013 was weak - virtually everything in your list up to the top 5 is a pile of shit lol.

 

You seem to have bypassed all the good stuff?!

 

What about reckless love, degreed, hardcore superstar, all the kivel releases (!!), summers, james labrie (given your taste youd love this) etc etc

 

At least you got the no 1 right!! Brilliant album from pretty maids.

 

Dont get the love for PC69 - that was weak imo.

 

Always an interested read tho - cheers guys.

[Stefan]

Me too.

But why the hell is Steve on top of the list?!

 

Nevermind. I haven't heard the whole album by Steve so I might as well .

[Glen]

Jez loves Steve so a super biased view.

 

Its a good album with 2 or 3 choice cuts.

1. I can't afford to buy everything.

 

2. I won't do illegal downloads/fileshares.

 

3. If a record label refuses to put me on their promo list, then their material doesn't get included in my end-of-year list or have samples put on the main site. Nothing I can do about that.

 

*shrug*

 

There have always been omissions; no one's evaluation list has ever been complete each year.

[Glen]

Spotify is free though - you can listen to whatever you like.

Nice lists, doods. What did I miss? Jez took Ty's spot as board member of the forum?

 

Congrats, mate, I had no idea!

 

Interesting lists... I have to say, have I just been out of the loop that much or was that Lovex disc the most low-key, hidden release of all time? I had no idea it was released at all until I saw Jez's list. Will check it out asap!

I love that Lovex disc. A bit short, about 36 min, but the quality makes it worthwhile....

Yep, you've been out of the loop. The first single was too Linkin Park sounding, and I think most of us ignored the release after that single dropped.

I heard it a few times today and I dig it. Truly a band that shouldn't be ignored. Just ones of those bands you listen to and think to yourself, 'Yep, these kids know what they're doing.' So many shitty generic, pointless albums released per year... these guys definitely deserve to be acknowledged above the masses of average bands out there. Billion dollar production, confident and intelligent song writing, good hooks... I dig it.

 

In all honesty, I don't think it's as good as the last disc, but it definitely does not deserve to be ignored.
