2017 IS OVER… IT HAD SOME GREAT ALBUMS, NOT AS MANY AS LAST YEAR, BUT STILL SOME GOOD ALBUMS. HERE THE TOP 3 BEST ALBUMS OF 2017.
3. 12 STONES- PICTURE PERFECT
ONE OF THE LESSER-KNOWN, ALBEIT BETTER RELEASES OF THE YEAR COMES FROM 12 STONES, A HARD ROCK OUTFIT THAT’S BEEN CRANKING OUT SONGS SINCE 2000, BUT HASN’T HAD A HIT SINCE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM’S THE WAY I FEEL. NOW, I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF 12 STONES, AS I ALWAYS FELT SOMETHING WAS OFF ABOUT THEIR SOUND (STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT), HOWEVER I FOUND THIS OUT MORE RECENTLY AND WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR A ALBUM THAT SOUND SO MUCH LIKE MIXTURE BETWEEN SKILLET’S COLLIDE AND COMATOSE ALBUMS.
BEST SONGS: SAVE YOURSELF, THE KILLER, NOTHING TO SAY, TIME.
RATING: 4.2/5.0
2. MANAFEST- STONES
NOTE: I HAVE A FULL-LENGTH, TRACK-BY-TRACK REVIEW FOR THIS ALBUM. SEE IT HERE.
MANAFEST’S RETURN TO ROCK MUSIC, AFTER 2 RAP/POP RELEASES, AND IT DOESN’T DISAPPOINT. TOUGH NOT AS GOOD AS HIS LAST ROCK RELEASE, STONES FEATURES FAST-PACED, POP-INFUSED ROCK AND BLENDS MANY STYLES SUCH AS RAP, ROCK, POP, ELECTRONICA, REGGAE, AND METAL TO MAKE THIS GREAT ALBUM.
BEST SONGS: FIRESTARTER, STONES, BLOW YOU AWAY, MERRY GO ROUND, COMING BACK.
RATING: 4.3/5.0
1. RED- GONE
NOTE: I HAVE A FULL-LENGTH, TRACK-BY-TRACK REVIEW FOR THIS ALBUM. SEE IT HERE.
RED’S SIXTH (AND POSSIBLY FINAL) ALBUM IS ONE OF THEIR BEST YET, WITH HEAVY GUITARS AND SYNTHS MAKING A HEAVY SYMPHONIC METAL/ALTERNATIVE ALBUM, WITH SOME OF THE BEST SONGS OF THE BAND’S CAREER. I ALREADY WROTE A FULL LENGTH REVIEW, ALONG WITH MORE DETAILED BLURB REVIEWS PREVIOUSLY, SO YEAH, I’M KINDA TIRED OF WRITING REVIEWS FOR THIS ALBUM. SO CHECK OUT MY REVIEW ABOVE FOR MORE OF MY THOUGHTS.
BEST SONGS: A.I., CHASING YOUR ECHO, LOSING CONTROL, STEP INSIDE (THE VIOLENCE), FRACTURE.
RATING: 4.6/5.0
SO THAT’S MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2017, WHAT’S YOURS? COMMENT BELOW!
