    Listened to tons of 2012 material this weekend and the only one going in to Top 30 was Hooded Menace, which was really good death/doom. Still have a couple albums I got recently to listen to, none metal though. Listening to new Death Grips right now. Probably not gonna like it as much as The Money Store. The production is really heavy though.

    New Enslaved is getting good reviews. I will have to listen...I really enjoyed their last one.

    Where? I thought it was a let down.
  • JLRedWing13JLRedWing13 Posts: 48,736 mod
    Metalsetlists had favorable opinions, and most of the reviews I read were favorable with one or two meh ones.

    The new Muse is probably going to be on my list. I was scared when I heard Unsustainable but the whole album left me pleasantly surprised. *prepares flame shield*

    BTBAM was incredible.
    I love winning with women
  • MenAreTrashMenAreTrash Posts: 27,667 spicy boy
    I'm still split on BTBAM. I really like the record, top 10 for sure, but there are a lot of things I don't like about modern prog that they threw in there that was kind of lame. Like the intro to Astral Body or that dumb circus interlude in Elite Extremophile. Shit is dumb, lolwecanprog
  • OPPOPP Posts: 50,132 spicy boy
    Astral Body was easily my favorite track upon first playthrough. Extremophile as a second. I guess we're on different pages.

  • MenAreTrashMenAreTrash Posts: 27,667 spicy boy
    I like the main melody, but the rhythm section before vocals kick in is stupid try hard wankprog.

    I dig a lot of progressive shit, but don't consider myself an elitist/expert on the subgenre, and BTBAM has always been a heavy lift for me...some of the carnival shit on the new one is silly; I haven't completely absorbed the entire album yet though....
