You know the MarsBro doesn't lead you astray bb



Actual AotY probably between Daoboys/Persefone but I need to review my ratings and really think about it. That's likely what it boils down to for me though.



Ashenspire gonna be in the top 5 I reckon.

I figured it out, what this album needed for a 5.0 was female vocals

Yeah but on every song. Also, as lead vocals.



Also, I'm gonna cheat a bit but SOTY is the Woolgatherer -> Passenger -> Identifier passage from Epigone. It's flawless.

Top album in the prog metal doghouse is Persefone, but this a solid stuff

Why is this album sitting at a 4.1 average, yet isn't featured in the best of 2022 rankings?



This has to be my AOTY thus far. Such a great journey the whole way through.



EDIT: It is in the metal rankings, but "All Genres" it doesn't feature. Is this a Sput-bug?

The charts are almost always hilariously bugged/behind. Takes a long while for them to get updated, although it feels like it has taken even longer than usual than last year.



This is likely top 10/20 by the time the dust settles. In lieu of that, you can always vote for it when user ballots come up for Community Album of the Year 2022! Should be very soon.

Some of this is legitimately hilarious, good job prog-nerd Sputcrowd... like, what the hell is 'Holy Mountain'?



And all the would-be 'heavier' moments sound neutered af
