I have no idea who any of these bands are. I've officially become too old for metal.

Rather slim pickings for my top albums of this year list, for a variety of reasons; I've been listening to a lot of non-metal, I've had some hard times so been less in the mood for music to begin with, I've had plenty of older stuff still in rotation and a few major bands' albums have been a bit disappointing. But here's a few that have left an impression, in no particular order:
There are a few more albums I think were quite good, but either I haven't gotten around to listening to them that much or they didn't quite strike me as great enough to put on a albums of the year list. There's a point where a list goes from "best albums of the year" to "majority of albums that were good enough to listen to this year".

Last IF album I liked was 10 years ago. I really don't understand how they have a significant fanbase at this point. It's just so generic.

The new Dream Theater has a ton of great ideas but it's really bloated and for me it doesn't always hit the right marks. I think it's cool as hell that they went through with it though and deep down saying bad things about Petrucci makes me feel wrong so yeah. It's alright in my 2016 realm.

The Astonishing by Dream Theater is one of the most embarassing works of art ever created. It has a bad guy named Lord Nafaryus, and a map of its world which contains a location called "Fort Truth." On the other hand, I'm boring enough that the new Meshuggah is my album of the year so my opinions on music probably aren't worth much.

Weren't they going to put out a series of books, comics, and games based on this retarded concept album?

From the site: quote:Turbo Tape Games and Dream Theater are proud to announce the production of The Astonishing game, based on the concept album by the same name. The game will be released on PC, Mac, iOS and Android, in Q2 2016! Sounds amazing, can't wait for April 2016 to finally come.

Page back but FYI a lot of the youtube videos are of a rerelease that was sped up, the album isn't QUITE that fast, although its still a great album. It was put out again by someone else at its original speed. Vocals are a bit deeper as a result, speeding em up made em sound higher pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W05nCWtbj6w

Megadeth performed on Seth Meyers last night; as usual with late night tv, the mix sounded godawful: http://www.nbc.com/late-night-with-seth-meyers/video/megadeth-dystopia/3441824 Also for some reason Dave Lombardo has been sitting in with the house band all week.

Finally got around to listening to Battles the new In Flames album. Its definitely not as good as the melodic death metal inflames but this sound is very easy to listen to. I don't even know if its metal but its still a good listen. I think if people just go expecting metal they might be disappointed.

Are there any interesting moments in the James Hetfield appearance on the latest Joe Rogan podcast? I tired listening but the first ten minutes of interview were painful.
