Why not doing monthly?

I did think about splitting it, a list for the first six months and a list for the final six months, but I prefer to keep it all in one list if I can. I like to look back at older releases and arrange the order as the year progresses, and find the one list formula easier to keep up to date with.

I've reached my top ten and what I find most fascinating about this so far is there are 9 different nationalities from the ten different bands, an incredibly diverse start to this year and still no Scandinavian as of yet.

[Edit] - Make that 10 different nationalities from 11 albums.

Ok I suppose I can get away with counting Iceland, I suppose I could class Denmark too if any bands from that nation enters my list.

That still leaves Sweden, Norway and Finland, three of the leading nations in metal music in recent years, but I'm sure by the end of the year bands from those nations will be up there dominating the top half of my list.

So far I've had a great start this year, probably a better start than I had last year, but then I've definitely had more free time in doing so. It will be great if I can keep the momentum going.

It's most of what I do each day and evening, and takes a lot of dedication. In fact, it's a borderline obsession, and I've even sacrificed sleep over listening to the latest music

Curious if you've listened to the new TesseracT? I'm very hit and miss with djent and I can't get into Periphery but TesseracT new album I loved so much I checked out their entire Discography. I can't tell by your list whether you'd be a fan but you do seem to enjoy good prog and I feel like TesseracT are very much a prog band

I must say I admire that you have managed to listen to 700+ new albums already this year. Clearly superior to me. What rises my eyebrow a bit that you have not even one to like it more than 9/10 and only one at 9/10. Are you generally that critical or you believe it was not a great year for metal?

Thanks, pretty much most of my time this year has involved listening to music, more than any other year so far Although there's been a lot albums I find very good, there's still not been anything I find mind-blowing yet, Blackbraid and Hellripper are so far the albums I regularly spin most in their entirety. Maybe in a few years I'll look back and things will change, I've recently raised my rating from a 9 to a 10 for 2021's Khirki - Κτηνωδία, which is a very rare occurrence for me, I can't see anything this year being raised to a perfect score just yet, but in time who knows

I think this year has been pretty good on the overall grand scale of things, and I certainly find it better than last year which I found to be a disappointment. I've been going back through some of last year's releases in some of my spare time and there's very few I find to match the quality of many releases this year.

I think Andy's ratings are perfectly fine. What's wrong with being lucky to find 72 very good albums in a single year? For me it's 70 very good albums less (mainly due to the fact that I only rate albums that I actually own and have listened to pretty often, so most of my ratings are delayed by several months - but that's a different story). Yet, it's been a very good year in metal so far and that's exactly what Andy's list indicates. I find it rather odd that you seem to believe it suggests the opposite.

I assume there’s a general misunderstanding about the definition of a 10/10. According to our FAQ, a 10 is a perfect masterpiece and this definition is neither debatable nor open to much interpretation. "A 10/10 is a masterpiece, an album that changed the way we listen to music nowadays, something that stays with you your entire life".
I don't know about you, but the last time I stumbled across a life-changing album was in 1994 - and yet I've listened to an incredible amount of very good and even excellent music since then. But no 2023 album has changed my life significantly, and that's perfectly fine, too.

A year without a single album rated 10/10 is not considered great in my book

I think there is an understanding of definition but maybe I tend to be more easily impressed and excited by metal music. I'm genuinely surprised that the last time you discovered a masterpiece was in 1994. Are you certain you still enjoy this music? Thirty years without finding a 10/10 album? Wow, just wow
