Hooray! This is (yet another) 2017 list. Take a drink. Seeing as everyone else is doing one, might as well get off my lazy ass and vomit one out as well.

2017 was a weird and, at least February through July, an absolutely miserable year which has impacted my production and metal consumption. While I've digested a lot of metal, as you can see from my (almost non-existent) content output, not one that perhaps impacted me like prior years. Largely due to personal circumstance.

So to put best, the albums below are the ones I listened to the most or left the most significant imprint.

If you want to chime in about an album missing, well, being a beer-guzzling guy, I cut this off at a 12 pack. A glance at my 2017 album scores shows what were honorable mentions, ones i merely liked, was ambivalent about, didn't like, or worse (looking at you, Aborym and "Scoring.negative") ... or what i might have missed.
