When I seen another fall album I wasn’t sure given they are already fairly represented on the original list, but again this album is original and different enough from their others I’ll accept it. I don’t think this is their best work but another good and interesting listen.

Blackwater ParkOpeth

Rated 10/10

I honestly think this album stands alongside Tool at the very top of progressive metal. It’s both brutal and beautiful in equal measure, shifting effortlessly between the two.

For that reason, I have to give it 5 stars, it’s a masterpiece of its genre. It won’t be to everyone’s taste, but I’ve always had a soft spot for heavier music, and this absolutely delivers.

This feels like a poorer version of different class, and not different enough as this is hardcore. But still a good enough album for the list.

New YorkLou Reed

Rated 8/10

Love Lou Reed, on the orginal list I gave 5’s to Berlin and Transformer and two of the VU albums. I’d put this down as my 3rd favourite solo album, a great comeback album. Not sure if it’s quite a masterpiece though. But still one I return to frequently

I do like Stereophonics but apart from performance and cocktails I think there albums are a bit average. Feel like a thousand trees carries this album, but still was a pleasant listen and happy to have it on this user list.

I remember this album getting a lot of hype a couple of years ago, it never clicked with my at the time, listening back now I agree this is really good. One to be added to a list of great new music, but just not my personal taste for a frequent rotation.

BlondeFrank Ocean

Rated 8/10

I often overlook this album compared to orange. I do prefer orange but this deserves to be on any top album lists.

Never heard of these guys before and as soon as the vocals hit I knew I was going to love this. Thank you to the submitter I’m going to play this a lot this year.

I’m not a massive foo fighters fan, I put them in the I don’t mind them category and they are a good band to see live but this is there best album, so I think we can make room for it on the list.
