Got introduced to this album earlier this year by a friend. Tis a banger. I think The Dear Hunter might be lined up for me on a playlist too

TDH is a band that, on first listen, I wrote off and is pretty far from my usual wheelhouse but you really benefit from just starting with Act I and playing straight through until V. It's very 'musical theater' in some ways with recurring themes and callback leitmotif but I think that's what I like.

It's kind of a popular pick but my AOTY last year was probably the Blood Incantation. It's fascinating. It has moments of traditional Florida death, proggy metal bits, and then these random chill-out spots. Imagine taking an old school 6 cd changer and loading it with a mix of Morbid Angel, Cynic, and Animals from Floyd and then just randomly hitting shuffle.

XTC is probably one of those bands I should be into but it just never happened for me. I'll have to give them another go at some point.

 
Missing Shock G lately. Sure he was in it for the fame and fortune. But I think he was in it for the love of the music, creativity and showmanship just as much. Couldn't find an acceptable Freaks of the industry video so gonna post this.
