Avenged Sevenfold put out a Mr. Bungle album this year after using Ayahuasca as a music writing tool.
something like this isn't usually up my alley lately, but it is really interesting hearing avenged sevenfold go for a different sound! at least i'm assuming it's a new sound lol, i haven't heard them in a long time - probably since 2010.
A7X has been putting out progressive works ever since Machine Head's Robb Flynn called them out for how basic Hail to the King was. The very next album, The Stage was an epic progressive concept album about Artificial Intelligence, probably my favorite A7X album after Bat Country, their newest album, Life is but a Dream is only their second album after the callout by Flynn, I liked the album but most of their fans seemed pissed about it, but like I said it's very similar to a Mr. Bungle album, and seems to draw a bit from the days when Rev was alive and he and Shadows had their other band, Pinkly Smooth, which was a pretty much their song A little piece of heaven made into a band.
I think the mixtape DJ Sabrina put out this year was better than destiny. Also loved how there are like 7 versions of destiny. The ep she released before destiny this year was cracking too.
lol the only problem i have with dj sabrina is they release too much music for me to listen to. absolutely love their stuff and i'm consistently blown away with the sheer volume of quality music they put out.
G Jones - Paths
i just listened to it - great pick. really fresh sounds and full of slappers
EPROM's Syntheism album is also phenomenal
Super late to the post but....LITURGY-93696
100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
Made me feel like a kid again discovering a new genre that I love for the first time.
i totally forgot that came out this year! gecs came out strong with that one - i was bumping it almost every time i went for a run.
