DON'T BE BASIC. CHECK OUT BEST FEATURE-ALBUM EVER WITH THE BEST SINGERS I KNOW.  

What have I been up to?  Creating and managing the Pizza King.  JUICY JOSH LIVES.

NO ONE IS SAFE.  

List of things Juicy Josh hates:

BURGER KING, LITTLE CAESARS, COLIN KAEPERNICK, RED BULL, PRETZEL PIZZA, TOFU, RIVERSIDE.  I repeat.  No one is safe.

Honestly, it wasn't the best year for my kind of music.  This year I found myself listening to a lot of older bands or older releases, but there were still a few albums that I really enjoyed that came out from this year.  

Granted, I don't think these will stand the test of time for me and make more rotations in my playlists, but who's to say?  Here's a compiled list of what my top picks were for the year.

8.  Steel Panther - All You Can Eat

I always love me a good Steel Panther album.  They're the Lonely Island of rock and All You Can Eat just had me laughing the entire time.  

7.  Behemoth - The Satanist

Behemoth kicked ass on this one.  It's probably my favorite Behemoth album in general, solely on the fact that I actually enjoyed most of if not all of the songs on the album.  

6.  Lovechild - Migraine Music

I know it's an EP, but this one definitely deserves to be on the list as its a top quality album made by my friends who worked their asses off for it.  Small batch of songs songs that pretty much destroy you.  

5.  Architects - Lost Forever // Lost Together

Didn't enjoy it as much as I did Daybreaker, but Lost Forever // Lost Together gave me a similar satisfaction.  I really think Architects are the next big band in the genre.  This album is so intelligent and heavy at the same time: the instruments and lyrics are so well thought out but it hits me right in the gut.  

4.  Arch Enemy - War Eternal

I'd been a fan of the Agonist for a long time now, so when Arch Enemy added in Alissa as a vocalist, I knew I had to get my hands on this thing to find out for sure.  It didn't disappoint it all, it's my favorite Arch Enemy album that's come out in the last 10 years.  "Avalanche" is a masterpiece.  

3.  Attila - Guilty Pleasure

This album proved that Attila trolls hard, and it gave me mad respect for them.  They literally don't care about what their fans or friends think of them.  From start to finish, this record is just straight up fun.  It's hilarious and I can't get enough of it.  Guilty Pleasure reminds me of a new-age Suicide Season.  Bands just take themselves too seriously these days so it's just refreshing that I could put something like this on and just stop caring. 

2. Slipknot - 5.: The Gray Chapter

Definitely not the best Slipknot album in their catalogue, but this one just sold me on the memories.  I had low expectations since they were down two members, but they still managed to hit hard.  "Goodbye"/"Nomadic" go deep.  

1.  Motionless in White  - Reincarnate
