This is a work in progress. Not official until around January 1, 2020. Most of these albums were listened to in August as I lost interest during March. I did not really listen to anything between then to the beginning of August. I've missed out on a lot but I'm hoping to come across that hidden gem few know about. Anyways, enjoy the list. I've checked a few lists on here and they may or may not have been influential. My ratings go as high as 100.0%. You have to at least get a 60.1% to make it on this list.

Is there a mathematical way you arrive at the percentages or are they arbitrary?

I'd say it's arbitrary. I listen to an entire album then I decide what score I am going to give it between 100.0 - 0.0. It just helps separating albums that would otherwise score the same two digit score if I didn't have the extra decimal. Also thanks for your Hornwood Fell pick. I would have otherwise probably of never found out about them.

I apologize to anyone who was looking forward to seeing this list complete. I have different hobbies and sometimes I just put music on hiatus for a little while. I was hoping to make it a strong list of my Top 50 albums but it didn't happen. I don't know if I'll go back or not. I'm hoping 2020 will be a better year.

I don't think anyone faults you for that. Not everyone eats, sleeps, and breathes music, let alone metal specifically. I used to be that guy in my early 20s but since branched out into more things that divide my attention and go through a hiatus or two like you.

I'll try to get back on the wagon this year as well.
