Probably should. Wouldn't hurt to start it now or within a week, this last month is filled with enough meh releases that it can properly let people put the rest of the year into perspective.
100% agree on this.

Just off the top of my head I know we had Pathology, Murder Construct, Gaza, Nachtmystium, Dodecahedron, Swans, Cattle Decap, Amenra, Evoken, Necroblaspheme, Ahab, plus like fifty others I can't recall.

I have a long-ass commute to work and do everything on the computer. Generally speaking I aaaaaalways have music playing.
Meh, Swans and Evoken are the only two albums you listed there that I care for. Insert some comment about Swans not being metal too etc.

Swans is metal as fuck in terms of their attitude and aesthetic. Michael Gira might not growl and they don't cover shit in blast beats and distorted guitars but pretty much everything they've ever done is as emotionally heavy and dark as anything you'll find in a metalhead's library.

I would say that parts of the title track and a few other songs qualify as metal, but start to finish most of the album is not metal and therefore, it wouldn't qualify for a metal album list. However, it's easily the album of the year.

There hasn't been one metal album from this year that I thought was more than just pretty good, although I keep forgetting to hear the new Prong. Actually, Angel Witch too.

You must have only listened to a couple then. This year has been stellar.

I meant to ask clarification whether you meant the new Angel Witch and Prong albums are overrated, or whether you're calling them overrated overall as bands.
Yeah, not much, but I haven't come across a whole lot that really interests me. I do have a few on my wishlist but haven't gotten around to buying those either. Cryptopsy's S/T is probably my favorite right now but I've only listened to it twice in full, so...
Being metal as fuck in attitude does not make a band metal. By that logic, some folk artists ie Townes Van Zandt would be metal merely for grave lyrics/vocals and minor keys, etc.
