After my first listen of this album I simply could not stop. It's an awesome musical journey beginning to end. Easily the most listened to album of the year for me.

Loved the heavy face melting riffs of this album. Their previous effort was good but they outdid themselves with this materpiece.

This album has some ridiculous metal riffs that make your face look like you ate something sour. Did we expect anything different?

Probably the most complete album of the year. Gojira never fails to disappoint.

This album is a ridiculously fun effort all around. Do yourself a favor and go watch the music video for "Earthrise."

Just so ridiculously heavy.

The best post rock album of the year hands down.

This was a late release in the year but I could not stop listening to this album. I must admit, this band has not put out an album I disliked.

This album made it on this list because it's a solid piece of music from beginning to end. This album had stickiness and I had it in constant rotation all of 2016.

My favorite band from middle school is still making solid music. One of the few bands from that time I think is still making good music. Nostalgia had a part in making this list, but this effort is just good.
