What I've Been Up To

I've been getting a lot of music lately. Here's ten random digs. Recs would be appreciated.
1Simon And Garfunkel
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme


Why haven't I heard this earlier? 4.5/5 (Will likely go up)
2King Diamond
Abigail


I finally bought this album after listening to it about 30 times. It's fantastic. 4.5/5
3Iron Maiden
Brave New World


Great comeback album after nearly a decade of boring releases. Some songs are way too long and repetitive, but a solid effort. The Nomad and The Ghost of the Navigator are amazing. 3.5/5
4Nick Drake
Bryter Layter


Fly is one of the most beautiful things ever written. Most of the instrumental stuff is superfluous, and Drake's voice sounds a bit out of place among electric guitars, soul choirs, and drums, but this doesn't stop Bryter Layter from being an incredibly beautiful album. 4.5/5.
5Sadus
Swallowed In Black


One of the best thrash albums ever. And it has Steve DiGiorgio. 4.5/5 (very slight chance this may go up)
6Protest The Hero
Kezia


Fantastic. The lyrics are incredible. 4/5
7Shape Of Despair
Angels Of Distress


I've never heard of funeral doom before, so I know very little about the genre. I do know that this album is great. 4-4.5/5
8 Jumpin' Jesus
The Art of Crucifying


I couldn't resist listening to a band called Jumpin' Jesus. Surprisingly, it was very good. 4/5
9The Antlers
Hospice


I honestly can't describe how good this is. Epilogue is one the best songs ever. 4.5-5/5, probably 5.
10Katatonia
Night Is The New Day


Reminds me of Opeth's Damnation. That is a very, very good thing. 4/5.
