Happy Xmas y'all! Before I get into the big 2017 ListyMcListerson, here are a few albums (in alphabetical order) I didn't get to until after the new year.
A Sense of Gravity - Atrament - A tad long, but this is some legit prog metal from Seattle.
Black Peaks - Statues - Tool, Devin Townsend and Architects all mashed up.
Black Table - Obelisk - Sick hipster black metal from NY.
Car Bomb - Meta - Meshuggah, Dillinger and Fear Factory all mashed up together.
Frontierer - Orange Mathematics - Another band that will help fill the Dillinger void.
GoGo Penguin - Man Made Object - Like Jaga Jazzist minus the beep boops.
Lady Gaga - Joanne - I don't think this had bigly hits like her past albums, but this is a solid album from start to finish.
