A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

2019 was solid year to end the decade with great releases in Progressive and black metal, doom metal had a strong showing and I finally found a deathcore band that I care about, the 2010's may not have been the most influential decade in metal but it did had a punch of great releases, that might be considered classics down the line, time will tell.


My favorite non metal albums of 2019

1. Remind Me Tomorrow
By Sharon Van Etten (Indie Pop, Synthpop)


2. GREY Area
By Little Simz(UK Hip Hop, Conscious Hip Hop)


3.Titanic Rising
By Weyes Blood (Art pop, Dream pop)


4. Morbid Stuff
By PUP (pop punk)


5. There Existed an Addiction to Blood
By clipping. (Industrial Hip Hop, Horrorcore)

What seems the most important albums for me in chronological order.
I wish I could carry the list year after year to see how my tastes changed and new findings.
I can help but notice that old albums immediately strike me, while in recent times most albums are good but nothing is groundbreaking. We have a tide of releases in the last decades, and standing above the other requires an impossible lot of talent.
Or is it my listen habbits that changed ? I felts I listened to the old albums albums for a lifetime while I'm only surface checking the new ones. Too little time, too little time to truly live...
Also the mixing technology, the sound is too flat nowadays and lack impact and personnality

1.Frank Zappa - Freak Out

2.The Who - Tommy

3.Frank Zappa - Uncle Meat

4.Frank Zappa - Hot Rats

5.King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

In 2018 I decided to listen to as many albums as possible, and succeeded in finding new interesting stuff. But it took much effort, and in the end I think I wasn't really smart in my choices, so this year I'll try to do the same with higher creteria. Hopefully the list will grow without losing tightness like it did back then. I'm watching every new entry to MS database, and these are the few albums which caught my attention. - I mean, I'm pretty jaded so these are the only releases I've been able to sit through without complaining.

1.Sabbath Assembly - A Letter Of Red

2.Helium Horse Fly - Hollowed

3.Lingua Ignota - Caligula

4.Health - Vol.4 :: Slaves Of Fear

5.Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean

Spiritual guide to a very musical and probably sexless 2019.
Scores:
10 = Best ever, and probably thinking on getting it on vinyl
9 = Best of the year, will revisit frequently even on years to come
8 = Excellent, on heavy rotation this year
7 = Great, will re-listen one or two times
6 = Good, but won't listen again
5 = Worth a mention, but not for me
1-4= Not worth a mention so they won't be here
TBR = to be rated

1.Strigae - I : Collision

2.Comma - And Deeper Than Oblivion Do We Bury

3.Grusig - Dr Ahfang Vor Misäärä

4.Obed Marsh - Dunwich

5.Krallice - Wolf EP

Self explanatory. Favorite metal albums from this current decade. It's probably going to be mostly black, doom, and drone related type albums, as that's mostly what I listen to, but not entirely. Full streams provided when available.

Hopefully this'll be something to return to nostalgically when I'm 40 and we can access the Internet neurologically while we sleep.

2.Ihsahn - After

3.The Body - All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood

4.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
