Re: AllMediaReviews Albums of the Year
Great list - so much in here that I'm going to have to check out. I can't claim to know more than ~25 of these, so there are many hours left to discover stuff. 10 of these also make my list.

Re: AllMediaReviews Albums of the Year v. 2021
Here's my 2021 List
I made a Slide show on YouTube, which the last 6 minutes have nothing per a failed attempt at adding an audio track.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RhygDeGMrs
2021 was a thin year. Just thinking about this past year, I would have expected more depth from this year, than say 2020, per I was somewhat apathetic about music listening in 2020, but on the surface, 2021 right now seems like an even lighter year than 2020 was for me.
I can't deny, seeing Pepe Deluxe, Sculptured, Liquid Tension Experiment, Tokyo Jihen and even Cynic put out new records seems like a lot of big names cameback after many years of being quiet. But it doesn't ultimately matter if the music itself doesn't engage with you as much as you hoped, a comeback or long-awaited release only may go so far despite that.
It seems like 2021 had an extensive number of very LONG records, well over an hour. I'm not sure if it had to do with being in lockdown while they made them that a lot of bands just wrote that much more and felt they wanted to put most if not all of them out at once (instead of say, a 45 minute album, and then a 25 or 30+ minute EP?).
I think it cannot be dismissed how bands like Biffy Clyro and especially Mastodon, I more or less wrote-off to possibly ever enjoying a new album from again. Mastodon though, did work with David Botrill, one of a my favorites, so it is not entirely surprising I enjoy their new album. But I would have never guessed I would be seeing both of those bands have albums in my top 10. I guess it goes to show, never fully doubt a band you once enjoyed.
1. Kevin Gilbert - Call Me Kai
2. Ours - Ours
3. Pepe Deluxe - Phantom Cabinet Vol. 1
4. Squid - Bright Green Field
5. Biffy Clyro - The Myth of the Happily Ever After

14. Cynic - Ascension Codes
15. Sculptured - The Liminal Phase
16. Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment 3
17. Timmy Sean - A Tale from the Other Side

Re: AllMediaReviews Albums of the Year v. 2021
I really tried getting into Ours, but after a while it just becoming too much of the same. Reminds me a lot of U2, and I haven't listened much to them ever since "Achtung Baby". I didn't care for Mastodon - that whole "sludge" vibe doesn't sit well with my ears. I own one or two albums of theirs and that's enough. Yeah, both the Subterranean Masquerade and Cynic albums made it onto my list as well.AllMediaReviews wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 1:21 am1. Kevin Gilbert - Call Me Kai

The Dear Hunter was a huge disappointment to me.
Yeah, the Matthew Bellamy album sounded very much like Muse outtakes that just never made it to the album - and there's a couple of redundant cover material on there as well. I'd rather wait for a new Muse.AllMediaReviews wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 1:21 amI haven't even sampled anything from these yet

I don't know any of these, but I managed to listen to all 5 albums yesterday.AllMediaReviews wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:36 pm1a. Small Leaks Sink Ships - Low Tide

Small Leaks Sink Ships and Hotel of the Laughing Tree I really don't know what to think of ... not stuff I could see myself listening to ever again. Just not my style at all.
East of the Wall is the most "metal" of them all, and I enjoy some parts of it. Then they go into this Karnivool direction that I don't like ... I guess it's okay.
Giant Sky is more prog rock in a "wavy/feeling" sort. Long songs - I liked it well enough, but don't necessarily see a need to revisit.
Team Me was interesting and I'll be checking this out some more. His voice is soooo soft and smooth. Very interesting project.

I honestly don't expect a lot of the folks into Prog and Power Metal to be as into many of these.
I see them more as "progressive" but not "Prog" for lack of a better way to put it. More "indie" or "Art Rock" I guess.
These bands are all favorites of mine though. I am more picky I guess with Metal and newer "Prog" than maybe I once was.
I did post that follow up; Going over the EPs and Honorable Mentions as briefly as possible here the full list.
Still not a ton of Metal or "Prog" other than a few titles I posted towards the bottom.
