    It’s that time of year, folks!

    What are the best Rock & Metal album releases of 2017?

    It has become a tradition at this stage plus it’s good seeing what Boardsies have been rating highly every year. I'll start a poll thread with the most nominated albums in a few weeks where everybody can vote for the overall Album of the Year 2017.

    All you have to do is nominate your top 5 albums (more or less) of 2017.


    Last years Rock & Metal Album of the Year 2016 was...

    Metallica - Hardwired... To Self-Destruct
    with Runner Up Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts

    Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence
    Cellar Darling - This Is the Sound
    Mastodon - The Emperor of Sand
    Havok - Conformicide
    The Charm The Fury - Sick,Dumb & Happy

    Honourable mentions;Power Trip,Battle Beast,Sepultura,Black Star Riders amongst others.

    Just released today but new Glassjaw first impressions are really good obviously haven't digested enough though to consider for this I guess. FWIW Epica's "Holographic Principle" would've defo up there for me last year but again released towards the back end of last year and actually didn't give a spin till this year. :p

    Not a bad year at all, IMO think releases from QOTSA & Arch Enemy were severely underwhelming tbh. Stone Sour was decent not a patch on the HOGAB duo all the same.

    Look forward to seeing suggestions I may have missed. :)
