Really? Honest question. I liked P2 so so SO much better, and their earlier stuff even moreso. I didn't HATE P3 but I certainly found it forgettable, and not among my favorites this year.

>>69517031
Well i thought it had more memorable Tracks than P2. And I think it is one of their best Albums next to Juggernaut Alpha

Decibel magazine list is pretty good this year.

>>69517331
This got 3 on decibel and their 2 was an ep nails. So their top 2 albums were both from Denver

Coincidence? Was it like 2 super bowls ago that it was Denver and Seattle?

>>69516538
May i ask the name of the album?

>>69516498
Varahtelijah was my favourite memetal album this year tbqh

Fair enough. It did have some pretty stellar songwriting. Still have Marigold in rotation if nothing else.

>>69517464

>>69517519
Np anon let us know what you think.

>>69517545
I've never heard guitars chug quite so chuggily. It's very precise performance/production, all things considered. Just wish the vocalist sounded a little less like a pussy.

Best part's the cover ;)

>>69517575
Yeah i agree, i like it for the chaos. Only their second release so they have room to grow. That said, the album in OP is also a second release and its fucking god tier. Car Bomb has a bright future.

>>69517133
Dude seriously. I was so pleasantly surprised when i got the cd in the mail, they provided a really strong package. The punchout guitar picks were a nice touch lol although a bit thin for me personally.

>>69517297
Anaon Meta shook me to the core. Like i was so pleasantly surprised by it. I love everything Car Bomb stands for sonically.

>>69517644
>>69517653
Apparently i say "pleasantly surprised" a lot, but both instances are accurate

It was pretty good, but for being "one long songs" there are clear points where they didn't know how to transition.
It's return to form I guess but don't really see why everyone is losing their mind's over it

>>69517756

I mostly agree with this anon

>>69517773

There's some unabashedly excellent metal there, though.

>>69517802
Probably need to go back to it

>>69517812
I think i formatted my response pretty shitty in
>>69517802

It feels overhyped to me like you (i assume that's you) were saying, but on the other hand theres some legitimate greatness there as well. Its not perfection but it's a pretty great release among a year of great music.

Slight side note: i feel like 2016 has been shit for everything BUT music, especially as an American where politics have ruled everything. Lots of top tunes coming out this year and I'm happy to remember 2016 for that.

Yeah I love this album just because it's a different direction for them, plus the song's fuckin amazing. Their production quality never ceases to amaze me.

>>69517848
OP here, thank you for this. Exactly why i made this thread, to find the gems i missed. Skipping around here and there and this album is just everything.

jesus fucking christ, dillenger escape plan, animals as leaders and periphery? why the fuck did I ever go into a /mu/ metal thread.

>>69516498

It's a great album but it gets boring really fast

>>69516510

Better than Koloss, worse than obZen

Better than the Joy of Motion, on par with weightless, stop the thumping gimmick already tho

Not even a contest for me. I waited a long time for this album, and even though it wasn't finished, it's everything I hoped for.

Moon Tooth, Dillinger, First Fragment, DGD and Thank You Scientist are some other honorable mentions.

>>69517872
Go back to /rMetal, then.

I would suck dick to find a physical cd copy of this. I'm not paying £60 that eBay sellers want

Thanks /nbbmn/, this is was a super cool one. High-energy and good production, best new black metal I've heard in a long time.
Also really enjoyed the new Oathbreaker, even if it did feel like it was hounding Deafheaven at points. Great vocals.
>>69517005
It's a shame, I actually enjoyed the music on this but the mastering is abominable, hurts to listen to

Not the best album of the year, but man is it great to see Darkthrone returning to their roots. Burial Fields was my favorite track.
