Between playing Pokémon this week, I've been catching up on albums I missed. I probably shouldn't have because HeartGold slaps (when it doesn't lag because my computer is ancient). Because I'm self important, here's my top whatever of 2022 in music.
Honorable Mention - Zeal and Ardor: Self Titled.
I'm not super into the full fledged black metal songs on the album, but I'm enchanted by the mix of Black Spirituals and black metals. It's about as avant-guard as I'm gonna get, but this stuff is wild to me.
5.) The Cult: Under the Midnight Sun.
It took a while for me to come around on this one, but Give Me Mercy is amazing. It's a return to classic/gothic Cult, which I'm not huge on, but even in a genre I don't like, The Cult is better than most.
4.) Ghost: Impera.
It's Ghost, a band that's quickly becoming a staple of the genre. Every publication has been saying this is album of the year, so [insert what they said].
3.) Taylor Swift: midnights.
I'm just gonna let this hang here...
2.) Clutch: Sunrise on Slaughter Beach.
Clutch is the greatest band in the history of the western hemisphere and probably most of the northern as well. PURE ROCK FURY!!!
1.) Machine Head: Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn.
Machine Head has been a driving force of my musical interests since 2004. While I liked their previous album, it left me a bit "ughy." But the album with excessive Øs ends that feeling. Driving heavy melodies, shredding guitar solos, other musical terms I don't know. It's better than the Attack on Titan it's based on.
