It's nearly December, which means I don't think there are going to be any other albums I'm looking forward to. But hey, I'm sure there'll be a surprise here and there. Anyway, I would like to put my final list for top albums for 2016. It's been an insane year for music, and I really hope next year is even better, if that's even possible. So here we go.
Album of the year for 2016:
Travis Scott - Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight
#2: The Weeknd - Starboy (nearly a tie with #1)
#3: The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness
#4: pg.lost - Versus
#5: Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
#6: Devin Townsend Project - Transcendence
#7: Opeth - Sorceress
#8: Killswitch Engage - Incarnate
#9: Bruno Mars - 24k Magic
#10: Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
Those are my top 10 for the year. But honorable mentions: Metallica: Hardwired...To Self Destruct / Steven Wilson: 4 1/2 / Explosions In The Sky: The Wilderness / Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Skeleton Tree
Anything else that was released this year just didn't quite hit my radar, or I just didn't find too interesting. I'm also excluding MB member albums since this list wouldn't end if that were the case.
