[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks - great list there! I really liked the Tribulation actually. That could have made my list on another day.

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Iotunn and Opeth were in my list. Also loved Alcest, Blood Incantation, Thy Catafalque..

[@thegreenman4925]

@Hellenicheavymetal loved the Alcest too! Blood Incantation was great - I just thought it would be on a lot of other lists. Thanks for checking out the video 👍

[@HammerheartMetalReviews]

Great video and nice picks! I love a lot of those albums. A few I haven't heard as well, so you have given me some more exploring to do. Cheers!

[@thegreenman4925]

You're welcome @HammerheartMetalReviews glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for tuning in. Look forward to your top 25👍

@@blueandwhiteeighttwo great list I still need to listen to the Vola album

[@Simon-vt1zp]

Hey Tom. I was looking forward too this video, and you didn’t disappoint. Well presented as always, also you seemed to have a more relaxed manner about you here, which was nice to see lad. 👍

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks dude appreciate that 👍 & glad you enjoyed the video 😀

[@garygillam8226]

I would have liked it if you had had nominated some of the best tracks from each album. It makes them easier to check out.

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks for the feedback. I do like to vary what I say about each album a little so as not to be too repetitive.

[@garygillam8226]

@ I understand but I don’t think naming your favourite tracks on an album really qualifies as repetitive. Most album reviewers do it . Maybe if you leave a link to any album reviews so we can check them out ?

[@steveratcliffe2181]

We share the same top 2. Didn't gel with them at first but they just grew on me so much. Thats a nice list you have. My top 5 also includes Judas Priest, Nemophila and Kanonfeiber. Other albums i really liked in no order... Flotsam and Jetsam Lutharo Infected Rain Kittie 200 Stab Wounds Hiraes Dark Tranquillity Poppy The Warning Billie Eilish Rotting Christ Necrowretch Fleshgod Apocalypse Fave EPs: Lovebites Hanabie

[@thegreenman4925]

Great picks there. I think I liked the Lutharo too come to think of it.

[@MrJustCallMeJames]

So many good picks here. I got to check out some of these, which I haven't listened to so far. I have been listening to Poppy for several years now, irregularly. Never thought I would see her on this channel, but this new album went into heavier direction. Wonder if she is going to do another big pivot with the next one.

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks dude! I kind of hope she stays metal/metalcore but I still appreciate her versatility

[@johnthebiker300]

A very polished video. You seem to be speaking with a lot more confidence lately. Cannot say that I have heard of many of these albums but I am sure many will be appearing on other peoples best of 2024 lists. My real surprise ( apart from the 80s pop albums) was that David Gilmour made it. Whilst technically very good I did find the album not much better than good background music.

[@RockOfAllAges-81]

Dude! The Allie X album was fantastic! Excellent choice

[@thegreenman4925]

Great one 👌 👍

[@RockOfAllAges-81]

@ What did you think of Lauren Mayberry’s album?

[@thegreenman4925]

@RockOfAllAges-81 decent. Need still more time with it. Maybe would make a top 40 or 50.

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

Wow. Unleash the archer was one of my disappointing albums. A lot of ppl like that album. Cheers

[@thegreenman4925]

Yeah I love that album. Still quite new to them. Really dig Apex too. I just watched your video and sounds like you know the band pretty well?

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

@ back in 2009 we did a small tour with them. They gave us a place to sleep in Vancouver. Now only Brittany and the drummer are in the band.

[@thegreenman4925]

@@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA that sounds amazing! Small world.
