2022 in Music - My Top 5 Favourite Albums

5.  MUSE – Will of the People

The maddest trio to have ever come out of Devon have returned, completing their magnificent comeback as they again prove they’ve been one of the best things happening in prog rock for a while now.  They’re still clinging to the more electronic sound that’s come to pervade their music for the past decade or so, but this still feels like a glorious throwback as Matt Bellamy and co have brought back the old school HEAVY in a big way here …

Standout tracks: Will of the People, Compliance, Won’t Stand Down, Ghosts (How Can I Move On), You Make Me Feel like It’s Halloween, Kill Or Be Killed, Verona, We Are Fucking Fucked

4.  ARCHITECTS – The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit

They’ve done it again. For the second year in a row, the Brighton metalcore heavy-hitters have delivered a blistering, pitch-perfect album full of riotous bangers, this time peeking in what I could happily argue is THE BEST TRACK they’ve ever put together.  As with their previous offering, For Those Who Wish To Exist, this record probably won’t please their old school fans, but I love this stuff JUST FINE.

Standout tracks: Deep Fake, Tear Gas, Burn Down My House, Living Is Killing Us, Doomscrolling, A New Moral Low Ground, All the Love In the World, Be Very Afraid

3.  FLORENCE + THE MACHINE – Dance Fever

Florence Welch and her astounding band have delivered another masterful opus of epic soundscapes and richly orchestrated opulence, effortlessly showcasing the singer-songwriter’s once-in-a-generation voice and big calibre lyrical and compositional flair, proving once and for all she’s the undeniable QUEEN of the indie rock scene …

Standout tracks: King, Free*, Girls Against God, Dream Girl Evil, Cassandra, Heaven Is Here, My Love, The Bomb, Morning Elvis

*Honestly, I CANNOT choose between this one and King for best track on the album …

2.  EDITORS – EBM

The most criminally overlooked and underrated indie band of all time returns with what I think might be their very best album EVER, packed with pretty much perfect electro-rock belters. They’ve always worn their Joy Division/New Order influences on their sleeves, but this one puts the Mancunian pioneers on notice that these boys from Birmingham are now officially coming for their crowns.

Standout tracks: Heart Attack, Picturesque, Karma Climb, Kiss, Silence, Educate, Strange Intimacy

1.  RAMMSTEIN – Zeit

The German masters of industrial metal have been plying their trade since the mid-90s, and every release has been well worth a spin, but they’ve come a long way in that time, and their previous eponymously titled album was a proper banger, dominated by the best track they’ve EVER recorded, the immortal Deutschland.  It seemed like a tall order for them to top that masterpiece … but they’ve pulled off the impossible, crafting a flawless opus that perfectly encapsulates their discordant-yet-ingenious singular brilliance and, OF COURSE, the incomparable voice of Till Lindemann.  Despite appearances they insist they’ve still got plenty more music to make, but this is the PERFECT encapsulation of Rammstein at their very best.

Standout tracks: Armee der Tristen, Zeit, Zick Zack, Angst, Dicke Titten, Lügen, Adieu

The ones that didn’t quite make the cut:

BILLY HOWERDEL – What Normal Was (the other creative half of A Perfect Circle proves he can do dark, edgy and beautiful electronic rock without needing Maynard); THE GREAT DISCORD – Deam Morte (the gothic-edged Swedish metalheads bring us another winner, with magnificent frontwoman Fia Kempe on fire throughout); AURORA – The Gods We Can Touch (the immensely talented young Norwegian singer-songwriter’s third indie-pop album is another winner); GHOST – Impera (Sweden’s most unique metal band continues to dominate as Tobias Forge delivers more retro-styled brilliance); PANIC! AT THE DISCO – Viva Las Vengeance (Brendon Urie pays fitting tribute to his biggest influences – especially Queen - with this lovingly irreverent record)

Honourable mention:

SPIRITBOX – Rotoscope

The best new metalcore band of the block continue to show they really are the ones to watch with this BLINDING three-track EP which shows that the astonishingly talented Courtney LaPlante and co are DETERMINED to keep experimenting with their sound. Opener/title-track Rotoscope is the undeniable highlight here, but Sew Me Up and, in particular, Hysteria both prove to be thoroughly irresistible earworms too …

I hate that The Great Discord is such an underrated band. The voice of Fia (her singer) is really beautiful ♥

Celebrating International Women’s Day, this year I’m showcasing some phenomenal musical ladies who I think are just downright awesome, be they respected established veterans with epic reps (and rightly so), or promising young newcomers with bright futures ahead of them ...

SISTER ROSETTA THARPE, Godmother of Rock & Roll, the Original Sister of Soul ...

JOAN JETT, founding member of the Runaways, leader of the Blackhearts, the undisputable QUEEN of the American rock scene.  Without her I don’t know if any of the awesome girls setting rock music alight could have gotten where they are today ...

LYNN GUNN, the awesome singer/songwriter/main musician/founder of the phenomenal alternative electro-rock band PVRIS and a prominent voice in the LGBT community.

BABYMETAL, fantastically bonkers and thoroughly splendid kawaii metal band fronted by two (formerly THREE) brilliantly talented young ladies (we miss you, Yuimetal, and wish you all the best).

AIMEE ECHO, lead singer/songwriter of the frustratingly short-lived nu metal band Human Waste Project, electro-rockers theSTART and metal band Normandie (not to be confused with the Swedish metal band).

NINA SIMONE, legendary soul singer-songwriter and FRICKIN’ AMAZING piano player ...

FIA KEMPE, lead singer/songwriter of Swedish metal band The Great Discord and owner of one scarily spectacular voice ...

SARA BAREILLES, thoroughly amazing pop-rock singer-songrwiter, actress, author and producer.

SKIN (Deborah Ann Dyer), lead singer/songwriter of legendary British alternative rock band Skunk Anansie.

AMY LEE, lead singer/songwriter and TOTAL BACKBONE of epic gothic rock band Evanescence.  As far as I’m concerned one of the coolest human beings alive today.

AURORA AKSNES, up-and-coming Norwegian electro indie-pop singer-songwriter and producer.  She’s had an amazing career already considering she’s only TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD ...

TRACY CHAPMAN, legendary multi-platinum singer-songwriter and FOUR TIME Grammy winner.

DOLORES O’RIORDAN, lead singer/songwriter of one of my favourite bands from the 90s (even though they kept going WELL PAST then), the singularly brilliant Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries.  She was taken from us in 2018, and we miss her dearly ...

MILITIA VOX, legendary metal singer-songwriter, formally fronting Swear On Your Life and Judas Priestess, now burning up scene with her solo work.  Any artist who has the balls to cover Tool AND Nine Inch Nails (not to mention pull it off SPECTACULARLY) is instantly worthy of my respect ...

MARIQUEEN MAANDIG, lead singer/songwriter of industrial band How To Destroy Angels (alongside hubby Trent Reznor).

and last, but by no means least ...

TORI AMOS, one of my top ten favourite recording artists OF ALL TIME, an alternative rock singer-songwriter and master pianist PAR EXCELLENCE without compare.  She broke out in the early 90s and is STILL GOING STRONG TODAY ...

[bearfeat42]

My sexuality is that part in The Demon King where the 'we call ourselves legion' bit kicks in.

"So join us forever, or live in despair"

WHO WRITES THAT?!? Martin fucking Persner does.
