  1. In 2023 I listened to 71 new releases which I ranked in my #TomsAOTY2023

    Looking back, I only find 9 albums that I keep coming back to.

    I re-ranked them. The numbers next to the album name indicate changes compared to my original list.

    The one to rule them all is still King Gila! 👑 🦎

  7. Oh, I haven't posted my preliminary AOTY list in a while. Now I don't want to spoil my #AOTY quite yet, so here's part of my list.

    Oh and by the way, something odd is on the horizon... 😉

    ETA:
    4 = great album
    3,5 = good album
    3 = solid album, might listen again
    2,5 = solid album, won't listen again
    2 = not my cup of tea but some highlights

    #TomsMusic #TomsAOTY2023

  8. Time for an update of my #AOTY list:

    2 great albums were added (#Endseeker and #Dusk), #TheRollingStones and #SatansFall delivered good albums.

    Further down the list I got some solid albums.

    How does your list look like?
    What are you missing in my list?

  12. Just before I start into the weeked, here's some updates to my Album Of The Year list:

    added:
    2 great albums (#Kvelertak, #Omnivortex )
    1 good album (#Primordial)
    2 solid ones which I'll probably listen to again (#KKsPriest, #TesseracT )
    2 solid ones that didn't really click, but are appreciated (#Girlschool, #Baroness).

    What's on your list?

    #TomsAOTY2023 #AOTY

  13. Going through my album of the year list makes me realise one thing:

    2023 is packed with first class bangers! 🤘

    #Hellripper #Obituary #Blackbraid #QOTSA #KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard , you name it.

    ...hell, even #TheHives released a really good album.

    What's your number one so far this year?

    #AOTY2023 #TomsAOTY2023

  14. Time for an update on my #AOTY2023 list, because there has been some activity.

    #KingGizzard received a boost and is a serious contender for Metal AOTY.

    #Blackbraid entered very high, but is currently not a contender.

    #SwarfDamage from Manx is worth a listen.

    #MammothWVH migth get a boost soon, because their songs are stuck in my head since my first spin.

    Apart from that some good (3,5*) and solid+ (3*) albums have been added.

    What's your album of the year so far?

    #TomsAOTY2023 #AOTY

  15. What a chance find! I'd rate the album 3,5 out of 5 (good album) after one spin, but it strongly leans towards a 4.

    Will be placed in the upper third of #TomsAOTY2023 list for sure!

    #SwarfDamage

    @SisterMaryBaphomet @HailsandAles

  16. I didn't update my #AOTY2023 list for over a month, and there have been quite some updates. But see for yourself 👇

    On a sidenote: I now have listened to 37 new releases this year. @SisterMaryBaphomet does that on a weekend. She even writes reviews for all the albums. That's dedication, you should follow her!

    #TomsAOTY2023

  17. 6 down, 6 to go. Here's my Album Of The Year list for 2023 so far.

    Agree? Disagree? Let me know!

    #TomsAOTY2023 #AOTY

  18. Am I a #QueensOfTheStoneAge fanboy? Yes.
    Am I biased when reviewing In Times New Roman? Yes.

    But:

    This album hits all my sweet spots. It is reduced to the best. Dry and melodic. Short, hard, simple riffs. Era Vulgaris part 2? No, better! Villains is long gone, the desert is back!

    In Times New Roman is a masterpiece, 4,5 out of 5.

    All hail the Queens!

  19. After listening to 4 new albums this week, it is time for an update on #TomsAOTY2023 list.

    #Smoulder, #CattleDecapitation, #MetalChurch and #Speedwhore entered the list.
    Two records were "meh", one good and one great, but see for yourself...

    What's your #1 this year?

    #AOTY2023

  20. Time for an update of my album of the year list.

    #Eridu and #Allfather deliverd some really good records, both made it in the top 10.

    Up next: Fires in the Distance, Cattle Decapitation, Devildriver, ...

    Happy if you can recommend something to me!

    #TomsAOTY2023 #AOTY2023

  21. Today I listened to the holy trinity of my (metal) albums of the year one after the other and I still can't decide which is the best.

    #Obituary - Dying Of Everything
    #Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
    #Screamer - Kingmaker

    What do you think?

  22. Thanks to @HailsandAles I discovered a new record of a band I've never heard of before.

    They are @Allfather and they delivered a very strong album with "A Violent Truth".

    I'd give it 3,5/5 after one spin, but I already can tell that this might change after a couple more spins. Might be a contender for #TomsAOTY2023.

    #NowPlaying #Allfather - Cast Off The Cross

  23. Here's my updated #AOTY2023 list:

    1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4/5
    2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
    2. #Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 4/5
    3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5
    4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5
    5. #AllMyShadows - Eerie Monsters 3/5
    6. #AirRaid - Fatal Encounter 3/5 *NEW*
    7. #MONOINC - Ravenblack 3/5
    8. #AllOutWar - Celestial Rot 3/5
    9. #Leiþa - Reue 3/5
    10. #InFlames - Foregone 2,5/5
    11. #Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars 2/5

    #TomsAOTY2023

  24. Hellripper will fight Screamer for the number 2 spot on my #AOTY2023 list. But who knows, maybe not even Obituary is safe? Let the battle begin! 🤘

    #TomsAOTY2023:

    1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4/5
    2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
    2. #Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 4/5 *NEW*
    3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5
    4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5

  25. Time for an updated #AOTY2023 list!

    #JethroTull, #MandoDiao and #Drain entered the list.

    #Leipa lost a point because turns out, I didn't listen to it again and I dont have the urge to.

    #Metallica's #72Seasons gained a point because I liked it much better after the second run.

    What are your thoughts on my list? What is your album of the year 2023 so far?

    #TomsAOTY2023

  26. I didn't listen to a lot of new stuff lately, nevertheless there's some changes in #TomsAOTY2023

    #Godsmack is upgraded to a 4, that's more than deserved.

    Also, #NightDemon entered at 9.

    #AOTY2023

  27. I might need to overthink #TomsAOTY2023 list.

    Ah what the hell, I declare the battle for my album of the year 2023 open again! 🪓 ⚔️ 🔫

    #AOTY2023

  28. After listening to 3 new records today (1 good, 2 meh), it is time to update #TomsAOTY2023 list.

    What's your #AOTY2023 so far?

  29. And so, the battle ends.

    Kingmaker sheathes his bloodstained sword and looks down in awe at the defeated Hellripper.

    It was an epic battle between two equal opponents.

    In other news: Memoriam beats Enslavend.

    #TomsAOTY2023 #AOTY2023

  30. It is time to end the battle for #2 spot in #TomsAOTY2023 list for good.

    It is Kingmaker vs. Hellripper

    Round 1:
    #Nowplaying Kingmaker - Fall of a Common Man

    #ThingsThatReallyMatter

  31. #Enslaved has a lot to offer on Heimdal. So many different elements so well put together.

    This is very difficult to rate after 1 spin. I'll give it 3,5/5, leaning towards 4. BUT: I don't think that this will end up in my rotation on the mid-long term - hence the slightly lower rating.

    So, where will it be placed on #TomsAOTY2023 list?

    I'll put it on a shared #5 spot with Memoriam at the moment. The one I'll listen to more this year will win.

  32. After a full listen of #Godsmack's new Lighting Up The Sky, it is time to see where it lands on #TomsAOTY2023 list:

    It enters at #4! I'd rate it 3,5 out of 5.

    In other news: the battle for the #2 spot is still going on ⚔️

    Here is my full (preliminary) #AOTY2023 list:

  33. I'm starting to like #Godsmack's new record more and more. I'll probably should put it on #TomsAOTY2023 list, so I'll give it a full spin now, then let's see where it will be ranked.

  34. Since I am running out of characters, I put my #AOTY2023 into an image.

    Luckily the image to text feature works surprisingly well, so I don't have to re-type everything for the alt-text (kudos to whoever implemented this 👏 ).

    So anyway, here's #TomsAOTY2023 list.

    Is there anything missing? Am I completely wrong with my ratings? Let me know!
