Oh shit, sorry to burst your bubble, Dan, but Palace is absolute shit. Not average; not okay - but it's shit. As in it won't even be in my top 200 or so this year. Super, super disappointing. 

Damn. They veered that far off from the first album, or you didn't like that one either (meaning I'll probably love it  )?

He rated it fairly well, so they must have drastically changed it up this time. 

[lettard]

Got Ted Poley/Degreed Modern Art this morning,sounding really good,may crash my top 10 as may Creye...

Palace,Devils Hand,Magic Dance won't...and I really don't think that there are any further releases I have planned to purchase this calender year,so Im gonna listen to only 2018 releases the rest of the year and sort my chart out

And a Merry Christmas to you too. I think I could post my list as it is now too, but I'll probably add a bit of text too so may do it in a day or two. 

Interesting list, it is. I suspect Dynazty may be a lonely inclusion, but I'm a little more thrown by Sapphire Eyes over Creye... to directly suggest that it is the better of the two albums - another very brave call there, mate.

Haha, well, to be honest I had a serious doubt on that (Sapphire vs Creye), but in the end, though I agree Creye is more polished I find the Sapphire songs a bit more compelling to me in average (except Christina which is probably best track of the year). Anyway it's nearly a tie.

Merry x-mas!

Wow, I'd never thought of you as a Tonight Alive fan. Do you have their previous albums, when they used to "rock?" I still like their output and there are some awesome tunes on the current album, but I do wish they were still a rock band, lol. Do you also like Against The Current? Another currently mellow ex-rock female fronted band who are lovely on the ears. 

Anyway, interesting list, but you shock me once with Shiraz Lane over Midnite City. Really? The SL album is a nice improvement, but personally, for me, that contest is non-existent. But. To each their own.

[Gotthardline]

1 - Ice Nine Kills - American nightmare 

2 - Like a storm - Catacombs

3- Striker - Play to win 

4 - Shiraz Lane - Carnival Days

5 - Normandie - White Flag

6- Hands like Houses - Anon

7 - Treat - Tunguska

8 - 7 Days in Alaska -Dancing with Ghosts

9- No Sleep for Lucy 

10- Our Mirage - Lifeline

I found myself playing that SL more and more - really varied album with some great hooks. 

The Midnite City is good (again) but still a bit of a one trick pony.

The production stinks as well. Almost demo like against most of my top 10.
