Mid-year highlights, the 2017 edition

It's early December, so I wouldn't expect anyone outside of music critics to have their year-end lists done, but any particular highlights from the latter six months of the year?

Perhaps due to some initial disappointment in the releases I had high hopes for, I think I listened to far more podcasts than music this year. That said, I'm looking forward to the barrage of "Top [whatever] Albums of 2017" to find the gems I missed.

Good year for soundtracks, bad year for metal it seems. Witherscape dissapointed, Amon Amarth dissapointed, Wintersun dissapointed, dont remember it Opeth is 2017, but it also dissapointed, Entrails ehh, ill give it another go, fine, but i dislike mix hard.
