Huge lists!! And glad to see some of my bands on them. I'm in pretty solid agreement with you guys about the disappointments, save Ihsahn's album which I thought was very good. But I think to enjoy it you have to drop Ihsahn being thought of as the prog metal master and be willing to accept some pop/heavy metal, as there are a few songs on there which are just bordering on radio metal. And I don't find anything wrong with that at all cause he does it really well. At the same time, I could see why it would rub some people the wrong way. But yeah, 40 Watt Sun, Gorguts, Bölzer, Mare Cognitum were all looked forward to and big let downs for me.
I still have a lot of 2016 recommendations to go back through.
