| 19 |  | Saviour
Shine and Fade

Aussie pals back at it again, not as good as the last album and they add some MALE clean vocals which means less Shontay cleans which is a step backwards imo! Bryant is a beast tho |

Disparity

We don't talk about that album without James, cause he came back with a ferocity unmatched. Dude's highs and lows were always a shining point on the band. Almost a lofi core thing going on here that I'd like them to explore more on the next album |
| 11 |  | Polyphia
Remember That You Will Die
Trap Prog/Have a Lot of Haters Who are Mad core

SWANCORE/Post Hardcore
Kurt you beautiful man. Dance Gavin Dance (the now disgusting mess) also released an album this year, and then this came out and blew it out of the goddamn water. Will and Sergio's guitar play is next level, big Joe Arrington on the kit is as immaculate as ever, the bass does bass things, and Kurt sounds almost better than he ever has. Please read Brandon's wonderful review for this, RIP you beautiful man you are dearly missed on this site by everyone :[ |
