AJ's Ranking Of 2023

Here is my top 50 for 2023! Only LPs, no re-recording (looking at you brilliant Paradise Lost, Kauan and Cavalera), that I rated 8 and above.

My biggest year yet in number of album I've given an ear to. Strangely, a tough one for the top 10. A lot a great records. I could have easily add 20 more, but first year I can't really see clear winners (imo of course). So I've mostly gone for comfort with Saturnus, Panopticon and Enslaved, knowing full well I've heard better from them in the past. Still, they genuinely caught my preference. The top spot goes to the biggest "surprise" for me, more than anything else. I did not expect to be that taken by the eerie and glacial atmosphere of Wolvennest DPTL, but I could not stop going back to it again and again.

Album count: 987 (!)
Average rating: 6.37

1.Wolvennest - The Dark Path To The Light
2.Saturnus - The Storm Within
3.Panopticon - The Rime Of Memory
4.Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite
5.Enslaved - Heimdal

2023 Top Albums

Top albums for the year (8+) rating - Meaning that the albums are worthy of multiple listens and purchase. 9 and 10s are must buy immediately.

There is no real order other than rating and then usually just in order of listening to the album. I don't get to listen to a large portion of the albums that get released, so this list is by no means comprehensive.

1.Blackbraid - Blackbraid II
2.Tribunal - The Weight Of Remembrance
3.Signo Rojo - There Was A Hole Here
4.In Flames - Foregone
5.Frozen Dawn - The Decline Of The Enlightened Gods
