I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

Personally, I'm loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

This is a really solid writeup. L'Enfant Sauvage is a banger front to back. Of particular note for me are Explosia, L'enfant Sauvage, and Gift of Guilt.

Magma feels really good too. Silvera and Stranded are the standard picks, but Magma and Low Lands are worth checking.

Fortitude... Born for One Thing starts it off nicely, but Amazonia just bugs the shit out of me to the point that everything that follows sounds bad. I have listened once with that song blocked, and I enjoyed it much more, but not enough to give more info.

“Only Pain” is my pick for the real peak of Magma. I always get stoked out of my mind when that drum intro comes on.

I’m surprised you don’t like Amazonia. It does sound like it has some power metal influence but I think it’s got a great sound overall. I especially love the mouth harp intro lol

The mouth harp is legit annoying.
