One of source of entertainment in the couple of months since I've joined MS has been watching albums careen up and down the 2015 top 20. I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of every album that shows up on the 2016 top 20 list at any point during the year (modulo how often I'm actually able to observe the list) along with some statistics. Ranking on this list is ordered by peak rank, then last date at that rank, then end of year rank.

1.Insomnium - Winter's Gate

2.Trees Of Eternity - Hour Of The Nightingale

3.Aenaon - Hypnosophy

4.Dark Tranquillity - Atoma

5.Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole Of The Law

Welcome to my 2016 list. Most of you are aware how lists on MS work :- If the album appears at the top it's amazing (imo) and highly recommend you give it a listen... if it's featured at the bottom then I probably don't like it. If you have any recommendations for albums, feel free to leave a message in the comments section!!

1.Whispered - Metsutan - Songs Of The Void

2.Mesarthim - Pillars

3.Equilibrium - Armageddon

4.Omnium Gatherum - Grey Heavens
