Also, I liked the new Katatonia OK but was more disappointed in it than anything. High expectations, I guess.

I can respect those opinions,
Anathema has always been in that "Portal of I" position for me. In regards to Katatonia, I felt like their effort did not exactly advance them from their sounds in TGCD and NITND, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.
As always, fantastic list, Reaper. Loved the inclusions of
Alcest, Panopticon, Devin Townsend, Seers and Enslaved. I also made a note to check out Kamelot and Mgla's new releases.
