2020: Jan-Jun

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not broke yet.

Character limit maxed in mid-May (lockdown increased my music intake too much), so needed to cut down some entries.

I also gave up listing all the potential MSA candidates I ploughed through in late December

1.Psychonaut - Unfold The God Man
2.Elder - Omens
3.Regarde Les Hommes Tomber - Ascension
4.Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea
5.Barishi - Old Smoke

✮✮✮✮½ = "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
✮✮✮✮ = "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
✮✮✮½ = "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."
✮✮✮ = "You're a disease? And I'm the cure."
✮✮½ = "Cowabunga!"
✮✮ = "I see dead people."
✮½ = "No not the bees! Aaaaahhhh!!1"
✮ = "It's turkey time. Gobble. Gobble."
½ = "I don't like sand."

Empowering Albums For Powerless Losers

This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

Last updated November 27, 2021.

1.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth
2.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side
3.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
4.Jag Panzer - Thane To The Throne
5.X Japan - Art Of Life
