I’ve been a fan of the Suicide Machines for well over 20 years as part of the Punk/Ska bands that made some noise in the late-90’s on the edge of the mainstream. This new album was their first in 15 years and was better than I expected as they also implemented some Hardcore Punk along with their Punk/Ska sound.
I know most of you aren’t too familiar with bands like them, but if you’ve liked what you’ve heard on previous rankdowns from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones for example, definitely give this a listen.

I didn’t think Apocalyptica would finish out of the Bottom 10, so despite me losing a Top 10 and ranking this wayyyyyyy above the rest of you all, it’s fine. Songs without words are never going to do amazingly and this song might be heavier than a lot of you would care to hear.
I dig their new album though as it’s great to have on in the background. It’s still currently in my Top 40 albums of the year so far as I love some of the instrumentation on it.

I believe that COIN’s new one was my 50th favorite album after the 1st Quarter ended, so this barely made the rankdown. Ironically, this was my least favorite song on the rankdown too.
It was a decent Pop Rock / Indie Pop listen, but nothing on it that I’d say was as good as their earlier material. “Talk Too Much” sticks out as the only single that I can recall from the top of my head.

Anti-Flag’s album doesn’t have great reviews and I can understand why long-time fans might not enjoy it. It’s more mainstream-sounding and even has some pop-punk material mixed with their known aggressive fast-paced punk.
While far from their best, I thought it was pretty good nevertheless. This originally was my favorite song on the album when creating a list for this rankdown, but after a few listens, I realized that there are better available.
Still, if you’re a fan of theirs, it’s worth a listen. Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe you won’t. If you’re a Trump supporter, you really won’t.

I wasn’t too familiar with PEARS until I heard this album. Typically, they’re a bit too hardcore punky for my tastes, but I did enjoy their album a good amount enough for them to make this rankdown.
If you like bands like Teenage Bottlerocket, The Lawrence Arms, etc that has a fast-paced punk/hardcore sound, give them a try.
I love this song title and thumbnail by the way.

I had never heard of Criteria prior to this year. This new album was their first in 15 years and is still in my Top 30 of the year. Their Post-Hardcore / Indie Rock sound is excellent and if you’re into bands like Cursive, The Appleseed Cast, and Pedro The Lion, they’re absolutely a band to look into. They deserve more love.

I don’t understand the hate for Twin Atlantic’s new album. It has a 1.96/5 rating on RYM and yet I rated three songs a 4 out of 5.
My biggest complaint is that it’s too short with only eight songs having actual words in it. Some of the songs on it are damn catchy Alt Rock. Including this one, but I guess my opinion is rare.
Twin Atlantic has had some small success on radio, but if you’ve never heard and like bands like Biffy Clyro for example, check it out. 42

I’ve gotten into a lot of Gothic Rock / Symphonic Metal this year and Delain’s album is still in my Top 10 for the year so far. The mixture of female vocals and rocking guitar riffs just do it for me if they’re done well.
I was unfamiliar with them prior to this current album. They’re from The Netherlands and have seven full-length albums under their belt since 2006 that I must check out at some point. 41

If you know the post-hardcore/emo/punk band Boysetsfire, Nathan Gray is the lead vocalist. This song is from his third full-length album and I enjoy it quite a bit. It has a good sort of punkish edge with industrial and gothic rock kind of sound mixed in. 40

I’m kind of surprised to see Morrissey go out this early being one of the more well-known artists on this rankdown. I kind of like his new album a good amount, but after listening to it now a few times, I actually prefer other songs from it than this one. Such as “Jim Jim Falls” or “Once I Saw The River Clean.” 39
