JoyfulPlatypus 07.07.26	All this talk about how great of a year 2026 has been for music, yet I only have 8 albums so far with a score of 4 or higher...yikes! I already know I need to catch up on the new Saidan and the latest Converge, but what else is out there? Give me some good stuff!
JoyfulPlatypus 07.07.26	Also - big reason I'm doing this list is because I was working on my mid-year top albums list (was going to do 30ish) and it just looked sad lol FAR too many 3.5's for my liking.
arthropod 07.08.26	Well, here's what I liked this year: As Everything Unfolds - DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? (pop rock) Darkthrone - Pre-Historic Metal (black metal) I Built the Sky - Promise Me You'll Thrive (instrumental progressive metal) Nemophila - GOZO (hard rock / metalcore) The Crimson Armada - Elements vol. 1 (deathcore) Thy Worshiper - Demony wschodu (pagan black metal) Uada - Interwoven (dark folk)
JoyfulPlatypus 07.08.26	Thanks dude! Doesn't look like I've heard any of these yet, so this is a great starting point.
arthropod 07.08.26	Glad to be helpful. Also, I don't like the new Karnivool but it's generally well appreciated, so maybe give it a shot too. Some Australian prog for ya.
rabidfish 07.08.26	Underscores - U The Orielles - Only You Left Hallas - Panorama Osees - Off Course
JoyfulPlatypus 07.08.26	@rabidfish - The Underscores one I've heard and really enjoyed! If this list were a top 15, it would've surely been here. But thanks for the other ones, I'll check them out.
