Relinquished 11.29.15	willie have u checked Tigran Hamasyan?
Calc 11.29.15	and it begins. I dunno if you like intervals but it seems like you'd like intervals and their new one comes out next week i think.
Flugmorph 11.29.15	theres a whole month left goddammit
EvoHavok 11.29.15	Someone sharing my AOTY, nice! Awesome list overall, too.
Sinternet 11.29.15	I love 24's debut so I'll have to give that a listen, and I really have to check 44 26 is like a guilty/not so guilty pleasure of mine, just straight up fun
Voivod 11.29.15	Great list, have to check some of these, before finalizing my list.
trve 11.29.15	final list in november = irrelevant list
Hawks 11.29.15	Didn't expect this from you so soon Willie, you usually find great albums at the very end of the year hahaha. Sweet list though as always. A few on here I still need to check before I post my list.
brainmelter 11.29.15	its December in two days whateves
Jots 11.29.15	The Orb's newest was their best in a while dunno what else I'd like. maybe that Princess Chelsea thing
Winsomniac 11.29.15	something something fists and buttholes Nice list Willeh
zaruyache 11.29.15	#30 isn't a 2015 album willieeeeee
Flugmorph 11.29.15	Shade Empire - Omega Arcane is from 2013 as zaruyache said. otherwise nice list i need to check 3, 4, 9!, 13 and 15
bloc 11.30.15	So happy to see some of these entries, yet I'm SO surprised to see em as well haha
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.30.15	a little early bud regardless even though i generally hate pretty much everything you listen to like a lot 34 is a really great album so props on that one at least and that Orb album is great too
basikchanL 11.30.15	lol bruh said fuck december
someguest 11.30.15	There's always so many good releases in December.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.30.15	Yeah tbh the last month or so has been fucking up my top 10 hard and new level Matos still hasn't come out yet even
MyNameIsPencil 11.30.15	so do you just include December of 2014 as part of this year or
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.30.15	Lol
MyNameIsPencil 11.30.15	I'm trying to make sense of having a best of a year list when there is still an entire month remaining in that said year.
Willie 11.30.15	It's pretty simple... Staff lists are due on the first.
MyNameIsPencil 11.30.15	That's dumb They should be due January 1st so an actual year can past at least But what do I know I'M NOT STAFF AND PROBABLY WON'T BECAUSE I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO REVIEW
Calc 11.30.15	"I'M NOT STAFF AND PROBABLY WON'T BECAUSE I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO REVIEW" ahh dammit why??
MyNameIsPencil 11.30.15	@calc mostly cause I can't find the time mostly/really bad at staying "up to date" with what's been released in a current year. Trying to change that soon but we'll see what happens
Sinternet 11.30.15	no PE 2/10
chemicalmarriage 11.30.15	great list willie so much better that two tones of horseshit beeping for an hour good job man
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.30.15	yeah sorry willie i dont know how much u have to do with that but thats super silly as fuck tbh i know it probably boils down to getting the staffers best of 2015 charts up earlier and such but forcing staff to submit their lists a month before the year is over kind of throws the staffs credibility out the window at the same time. disregard december! we prefer promptness over accuracy and fairness
JWT155 11.30.15	I honestly don't have an issue with early end of the year lists, it's not like 1 person will be able to listen to everything in a given year before rating an album, hell most of my past Albums of the Year lists would have to be revisited for all the music I discovered, weeks, months and even years after that year was over. I understand the idea that an early list will possibly neglect records but so will anyone who even after the year simply don't have the time or direction to check out certain releases.
TalonsOfFire 11.30.15	1, 2, and 5 are definitely among the best metal of the year.
Confucius 11.30.15	Mostly terrible list imo
klap 12.01.15	it's like people don't even realize when best of lists come out
AlexKzillion 12.01.15	I've finally found someone on this site who likes 7 as much as I do.
Apollo 12.01.15	bookmarked this so I can check these albums out one by one. I've downloaded a few of them based on your reviews. Nice list dude. I always look forward to your end of year lists.
R6Rider 12.01.15	Gotta check some of these out. List needs the new Adversarial.
Hawks 12.01.15	Apollo where in the fuck have you been? I feel like it's been years since I've seen you around. :[
Jots 12.01.15	p sure Willie hates Adversarial
R6Rider 12.01.15	lol doesn't he like Ulcerate though? Eh, I could be wrong. Cool thing about Willie's lists is that they contain bands that aren't trying to be all super elite trve underground. And they actually have good production as well.
BallsToTheWall 12.01.15	sweet list. Sampling some of these now.
Hawks 12.01.15	Willie hates bad production hahaha.
Apollo 12.01.15	Hey Hawks Lurking mostly, haven't found too much on here these days makes me want to post. How you been?
R6Rider 12.01.15	"Willie hates bad production hahaha." haha right His year end lists always contain at least a few bands I can't stand lol
Hawks 12.01.15	I've been alright I guess bro, just living ya know? Miss seeing you around man, hope all is well with you.
Apollo 12.01.15	thanks dude, all is well :) hope the same for you and yours
EasterInTheBatcave 12.01.15	Didn't 30 come out two years ago?
Typhoner 12.01.15	But what about Jaël's solo debut?
MO 12.01.15	nice thanks for reminding me of 43 gotta check it
Thibs 12.01.15	I was underwhelmed by a lot of these but def enjoyed amorphis, tempel, abr and exgenesis quite a bit need to check 8 and 48
Beardog 12.01.15	Everyone here into progmetal/rock should really check out Earthside's debut, came out last month or something like that and it's amazing.
Ignimbrite 12.02.15	Glad to hear I'm not the only one who actually liked the Hope Drone album, haha.
PistolPete 12.03.15	7 will be my aoty unless something absolutely insane happens in the next week like maybe Amia venera landscape, Frank ocean or Drake finally spill their albums
greg84 12.03.15	checking out no.3 and it's actually really good
mifzal 12.03.15	nothing I can disagree here
MassiveAttack 12.03.15	Willie, long time no see man, as always lots of metal-oriented stuff - so I'm unfamiliar with most of it. Can't really comment on it, but The Orb's EP release was surprisingly good. I'm curious to see how Underworld's newest album will be.
treeqt. 12.03.15	11.29.15
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	literally every day since this list went up there have been 2-7 album leaks/releases that make it more and more preposterous that 2015 list deadlines are the beginning of december
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	"We affectionately call it the D'Angelo Rule because we don't get a say in the matter when it comes to the deadline. On one hand, I see why (in terms of clicks), but on the other, well, D'Angelo (I know there are more examples, but alas...)." yeah i didnt think u really did and i respect that, its a damn shame
Archael 12.04.15	haven't heard 34 or 44 but i like 0 albums on here :/
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	those are the only 2 good ones
DoofusWainwright 12.04.15	1 still rocks, not my AOTY but will probably sneak my top 25
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	lol
DoofusWainwright 12.04.15	Pots you're going to love my Best of 2015 I just know it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	lol
DoofusWainwright 12.04.15	Just don't put up your Worst of 2015 a day later, people hate looking at the same list of albums twice in quick succession
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	itll be more effective if i get my worst of list up before your best of anyways i think
DoofusWainwright 12.04.15	Then I can work through my shame in advance of posting - good thinking
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.15	lol [3]
hal1ax 12.04.15	44 is nice
EvoHavok 12.05.15	Just finished 4. Excellent stuff, very promising band.
Willie 12.05.15	--willie have u checked Tigran Hamasyan?-- I hadn't, but I just did. I really like it, and if I had heard it earlier in the year it would have probably ended up on my list somewhere. --I dunno if you like intervals but it seems like you'd like intervals and their new one comes out next week i think.-- I don't remember hearing them before, but the name sounds familiar. Anyway, I like it. I especially like the fact that I can hear the bass guitar. I don't know if it would have made a final list or not, but it is good. --#30 isn't a 2015 album-- I figured that out. iTunes has it listed with a 2015 release date, and I have a smart playlist with only 2015 albums on it... and that's how that ended up happening. --So happy to see some of these entries, yet I'm SO surprised to see em as well haha-- Ha ha. Why is that? --bookmarked this so I can check these albums out one by one. I've downloaded a few of them based on your reviews. Nice list dude. I always look forward to your end of year lists.-- That's awesome. Glad to see you still popping in from time to time.
Willie 12.05.15	--List needs the new Adversarial.-- Checked it out. It's good, but people are right about my issue with production. The production isn't too much though. I could probably get into this with more listens. --But what about Jaël's solo debut?-- Shit. I didn't even know she had one. I like it, though. Brings back some of that old school Lunik sound. --Everyone here into progmetal/rock should really check out Earthside's debut, -- Checking it out... Not bad. It's cool that they got the Sevendust vocalist for that one song. He was good. --checking out no.3 and it's actually really good-- Yeah. That was a good surprise. --I'm curious to see how Underworld's newest album will be.-- They haven't been all that good since they lost the one guy. --Just finished 4. Excellent stuff, very promising band.-- Yeah. That was another good surprise.
Funeralopolis 12.06.15	edit
MassiveAttack 12.07.15	I always thought they were a duo, is that not the case? It states they, plural, will be releasing the new record, so fingers crossed. Their last one, Barking was OK imo.
Typhoner 12.10.15	love love Shuffle The Cards. But you know, Jaël, so duh.
toomuchtestosterone 12.11.15	I never heard of #3, but the description really really makes me want to listen to it
Willie 12.11.15	You really should...
smaugman 12.11.15	you should listen to hand cannot erase by steven wilson
Willie 12.11.15	--I always thought they were a duo, is that not the case? It states they, plural, will be releasing the new record, so fingers crossed. Their last one, Barking was OK imo-- Underworld were a duo and they released uninteresting crap. Then they recruited DJ Darren Emerson. He was with them for Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Second Toughest in the Infants and Beaucoup Fish. Pretty much their top 3 albums.
MassiveAttack 12.14.15	Ah, I was unaware of that, thanks for the info.
Sabrutin 12.14.15	Wouldn't say that Condition Human is their most progressive but I can see why you would. Anyway 1 is most likely my aoty as well.
teamster 12.01.18	I’ve been playing #37 a ton lately. So awesome. Gonna move it into my top 10 for 2015. Don’t know why it didn’t resonate with me more then...
Willie 12.01.18	Probably because it's so subdued. You definitely have to pay attention and give it a few listens.
teamster 12.01.18	The dudes voice is off the charts. Tremendous.
SteakByrnes 12.01.18	49 owns so much
