| 2020 Duds
Had high hopes for these, but was let down by: | | 1 |  | Elder (USA-MA)
Omens
Not sure how a band goes from the heights of Reflections of a Floating World to this. A bit of a lame duck album with no grit. I want to like it, but can’t. | | 2 |  | In This Moment
Mother
All the pieces are there for an incredible industrial metal onslaught, but no. | | 3 |  | Mastodon
Medium Rarities
A hodgepodge of tracks that are predominantly throwaways. Did I need to hear the instrumentals or the live tracks - no. | | 4 |  | Caligula's Horse
Rise Radiant
As a fan of both Arcane and Caligula’s Horse, this album is tame. And the extra tracks - why bother. | | 5 |  | Stitched Up Heart
Darkness
Overly produced- lost their edge | | 6 |  | Five Finger Death Punch
F8
As anticipated really. | |

12.24.20 | That Elder record aint no Reflections or Lore, I'll give you that, but it's still pretty dang good. Not sure having high hopes for 2 or 6 is a great way to live life. | JDubb
12.24.20 | I hear you engleprunt - maybe it’s too much krautrock and keyboards, and too little metal that gets me with omens. I have tried many times to listen and change my mind, but not yet. | JDubb
12.25.20 | Although I did not listen to these, and don’t plan to, I imagine PJ - Gigaton and SP - Cyr were duds. |
