My Most Listens in 2023
Not yet settled on what 2023 album is AOTY for me in 2023. Will give that a few more weeks. But can certainly note the bands/albums that I jammed all 2023 long. These are in no specific order... |
| 1 |  | Mushroomhead
A Wonderful Life
Genre: nu-metal, art-metal
Really was all over this discography in 2023 |
| 2 |  | Gojira
Fortitude
Genre: progressive death metal
This album and Magma dominated my playlist after seeing Gojira live with Mastodon |
| 3 |  | Infected Rain
Endorphin
Genre: metal
And Death Dealer Union, and Lena Scissorhands solo tracks |
| 4 |  | Slipknot
The End, So Far
Genre: metal, alt metal
This album clicks with me, in a way that a Slipknot album hasn't for a long time |
| 5 |  | Lacuna Coil
Black Anima
Genre: gothic metal
And Delirium and Comalies XX |
| 6 |  | Seas On The Moon
Collision Illusion
Genre: prog metal
Everything they touch is gold... |
| 7 |  | Otep
Sounds Like Armageddon
Genre: nu metal
And was all over this discography in 2023 |

CMF2
Genre: mainstream rock/metal
His solo work, revisited some StoneSour classics, etc. |

The Plague Within
Genre: gothic metal
Was into their later releaes this year, including primarily this album, and Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us and Tragic Idol |
| 10 |  | Fear Factory
Recoded
Genre: industrial metal
This album really opened up Aggression Continuum to me - and spent some time in their remaining discography this year. |
| 11 |  | Tairrie B
Vintage Curses
Genre: rap metal; rap
And Manhole, Tura Satana, and My Ruin |

Must have listened to this EP about a million times this year, whenever I had 15 min free. |
| 14 |  | Spiritbox
Rotoscope

SAA for this EP. |
| 15 |  | (hed) p.e.
(hed) p.e.
...And anything nu metal or rapcore. Was really into separating out who was truly rapcore from the rap rock/metal hordes. Listened to several albums, like (hed) p.e., that I hadn't listed to in years... Also was digging the old Ozzfest samplers and revisiting those lost bands. |
