Aenias's Obligatory Best of 2022
Plus my worst and most disappointing |
| 12 |  | Dance Gavin Dance
Jackpot Juicer
1/5
WORST
Post-hardcore
Even before all the crap with Tilian this was a bad album. It's an 18-track album that peaks on the first track. |
| 11 |  | Warforged
The Grove | Sundial
1.5/5
MOST DISAPPOINTING
Technical death metal, black metal
I was incredibly impressed with their debut album, especially with the sense of dread it gives you. The follow-up has none of that. Just comes across feeling rushed and sloppy. |
