What was your favorite album this year? If you can't pick one, which ones did you enjoy the most?

Starboy takes it for me.

Personally enjoyed The Life of Pablo from Kanye and Views from Drake. There are problably many others but those are the ones that sprung to mind first.

Coming from a metalhead it has to be Fleshgod Apocalypse's "King" album. Perhaps a great addition to their rather obscure blend of piano and death metal

Hands Down.

I'm indecisive as it is so listing just one probably wasn't gonna happen anyway. I do feel like 2016 has been a pretty great year as far as people releasing good albums went. 

Lemonade, ANTI, The Life of Pablo, A Seat at the Table, Starboy, Joanne, Dangerous Woman, The Suicide Squad Soundtrack (shut up), Coloring Book, Birds in the Trap Sing Brian McKnight, and Glory.

The Stage by Avenged Sevenfold.

The entire album is so well written and thought provoking. Hell, they have Neil Degrasse Tyson with a speech in the final song; don't @ that it doesn't make the album the GOAT. And Roman Sky is still the most beautiful song I've heard in such a long time.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Key

Beautiful and haunting. First record after the death of his son. Some of Nick's most emotional work yet.

"Anti" by Rihanna

Blackstar, by David Bowie

The Stage, Dreamchasers 4, TLOP, Views, Awaken My Love, Anti, Lemonade, Starboy, and so on...

Best rock albums of 16: "If I'm The Devil..." by letlive. and "The Stage" by Avenged Sevenfold although I really liked the new Metallica one, ADTR's Bad Vibrations and Against Me's Shapeshift With Me

Best hiphop albums of 16: "TLOP" by Kanye West for sure and maybe "Views" by Drake even if he doesn't write his stuff

I think I'm the only one who didn't like The Stage at all and A7X is one of my favorite bands ever lol.

It was a great year for music for me. Almost all of my favorite bands came out with new music. But the best I must say was Headspace by Issues. The whole album had a different feel with every song, not one sounded the same, but I still loved every song.. they showed how versatile they are. and not to mention Tyler Carter continues to show he's one of the best singers in the wooorrrrrlddd. So yeah my answer is....

It's that good of an album that it continuously shits on all your faves 24 years later!

If that's the case then here's my new list; 

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
