Albums I missed in 2015

After I finalized my top 15 of 2015, I shifted my focus to catching up on 2016 releases.  From time to time I did go back into 2015 to listen to some albums I missed.  Below is a short list:

Best EPs of 2016

I love me some EPs.  While the line between EP and LP is arbitrary, EPs have a typical run time between 20-30 minutes.  They are a nice short burst of music where you can get a full album experience without as big of a time commitment.  Here are my favorites of 2016.

Pain of Salvation - In The Passing Light of Day - My Initial Thoughts

It's been a 6 long years since their last studio album, Road Salt Two.  Road Salt was quite the departure in their sound, focusing on shorter song oriented tunes.  The change was too much some fans, and it split the fanbase.

The Best Non-Metal Albums of 2016

For reasons I've already mentioned before, I like to maintain a separate list of non-metal albums.  Although the list of non-metal albums is significantly shorter, it was way more difficult to narrow it down than the metals.  These albums come from genres that are not in my wheelhouse, and I find it harder to find the words to describe my thoughts.  After playing around with the list for about a week I finally settled on this glorious top 10.
