Best hard rock/metal albums of 2023

It's time again for my album of the year picks.  I rank song quality and album consistency heavily, so if there's only a couple of good tracks, the rating suffers.  This year my list is not as stylistically diverse as last year's, but I always surprise myself with who makes the top 10 and in what order.  Once again I listened to a lot of music to make my final decisions, so I encourage you to check out my top picks as well as those from the list below if you need holiday gifts or to catch up on rock from 2023.

1. Mammoth WVH - Mammoth II

Wolfgang Van Halen (son of guitar god Eddie Van Halen) wanted to avoid the sophomore slump with his second solo release, and in my opinion he did a lot better than that.  Mammoth II bests his debut with better versatility and improved musicianship drawing on a variety of influences from classic rock to alternative metal (Tool) and even djent/modern progressive metal (Intervals; Meshuggah).  Wolfie even coined the term Meshuggah-Beatles to describe some of his new music like album closer "Better Than You."  "Waiting" is the lyrically-themed sequel to "Distance" about his father from the first album.

Best tracks: Another Celebration at the End of the World, Optimist, Waiting

2. Metallica - 72 Seasons

Metallica's 11th studio album is the first since 2016's Hardwired... and while I liked that one a lot, this one is even better.  Although it is not quite thrash, there are more driving rock songs than their more melodic opuses and ballads.  Critics have also noticed a deeper meaning to James' lyrics on songs like "Screaming Suicide" and "Room of Mirrors."  James says the concept of 72 seasons is about a person's growth and maturity over 18 years of life.  18 x 4 = 72, so the math adds up!

Best tracks: Lux Eterna; Room of Mirrors; 72 Seasons 

3. Filter - The Algorithm

Filter's first studio album in seven years started to form in 2018 when lead singer Richard Patrick rekindled with original guitarist Brian Liesegang.  A few songs got released in 2020 that we thought were going to be on the record that then became standalone singles.  Honestly the project that was billed as the "official follow-up to Short Bus" took so long to come to fruition it had fallen off my radar.  However, the Algorithm sounds like a true return to form with industrial roots and modern rock influences.  As one fan commented, "this album is pure time travel." Patrick has rarely been at a loss of things to write about, and he can still sing his ass off.  The album is leaning heavy with some of the lighter ballads they have also become known for.  Even if you haven't listened to Filter since the turn of the century, give this one a spin (hey, vinyl is back, this still makes sense).

Best tracks: Obliteration; Summer Child; Up Against the Wall

4. Beartooth - The Surface

Thematically this album is the antithesis of their last album, Below.  In some ways it is their most poppy.  There's even a song called "Might Love Myself" about self love and empowerment.  However, there are also some bangers, screams, and sick breakdowns as well.  While some metal fans say they've gotten too soft, other fans are embracing the positive mental health journey of lead singer Caleb Shomo and his uplifting songs.  I own other Beartooth albums and this is the first one I can play all the way through so take that for what it's worth.

Best tracks: The Surface; Riptide; What's Killing You

5. Staind - Confessions of the Fallen

First release since 2011.  I've already written about it here.  Aaron's voice is still strong and Mike Mushok keeps them rocking hard.

Best tracks: Lowest in Me; Here and Now; Cycle of Hurting

6. Blink 182 - One More Time

Another comeback album as it is their first since 2019 and their first with Tom DeLonge since 2011.  Tom's voice and songwriting are certainly welcomed, but these are not the same people as they used to be.  There are still some humorous moments, but largely the writing is mature and reflective.  I've listened to this album a lot since its release and I interpret it as Mark and Tom's love note to each other.  For example, the nostalgic "When We Were Young" has them trade off on verses about early years, rather than the usual formula of having one or the other be the lead singer.  Then there are lyrics from the title track that obviously refer to their relationship with each other.  "I wish they told us, it shouldn't take a sickness, Or airplanes falling out the sky" clearly are referencing illnesses such as Mark's recent battle with cancer and Travis's 2008 plane crash.  The chorus of "One More Time" I believe is about them regretting not speaking for several years during their two hiatus periods.  This album is more emo than punk rock, but still a fun return overall.

Best tracks: Dance With Me; Anthem Part 3; One More Time

7. Godsmack - Lighting Up the Sky

In what might be the last Godsmack album, they put together a fantastic eighth studio album showcasing their signature sound from power rockers to more emotional ballads.  It's only 10 tracks, but songs are a little bit longer than typical radio songs bringing the total time to almost 50 minutes.  55 year old Sully Erna says "Man I'm Growing Old" in the next to last song.  He says the band isn't breaking up and they will continue to tour, but right now he doesn't see them making another album.

Best tracks: Soul On Fire; Hell's Not Dead; Surrender

8. Dirty Honey - Can’t Find the Breaks
This band formed in 2017 in Los Angeles and attempted to follow the success of Guns N' Roses, even opening for Slash in 2018 and 2019 and the mighty GNR in 2022.  This is their second album and it has a fun mix of blues, country, and rock and roll.  They also sound a bit like the Black Crowes at times, and guess what, they opened for them too!  I also hear similarities with Greta Van Fleet, Red Sun Rising, and Crobot which means they are very good.  They have made some moves on the Mainstream Rock charts, but are largely still under the radar.  If you like your rock and roll with some swagger and swing, check these guys out.

Best tracks: Won't Take Me Alive; Can't Find the Breaks; Ride On

9. Drain - Living Proof

This is hardcore.  Literally.  If you're feeling angry, put this on and mosh or jam out.  Influenced by Suicidal Tendencies, and covering the Descendants, this is an interesting listen from a band that I think has huge potential.  Give them a listen.  Vocalist Sammy Ciaramataro says my favorite track "Watch You Burn" was written about a bad person.  "It's the meanest song I ever wrote, but I tried to make it into something good."

10. Sevendust - Truth Killer 

This is Sevendust's 14th album and they have been consistently good.  They are a band that is in the rare territory these days of being better live in person than on record.  That being said, this is one of their strongest, most consistent albums.  This year they've toured with Alter Bridge and Mammoth WVH.  They are currently touring with Static-X and Dope and will be through the winter into 2024.  If you get the chance, definitely watch a live performance.  There's dates in NJ, PA, and Long Island NY.  I've already got my tickets for Starland and might try to see them in Harrisburg as well.

Best track: Love and Hate

With streaming becoming the way most people consume music, some people think albums are becoming a thing of the past.  I still like a good album.  One way some bands are coping with the need to be productive and faster than an album cycle is putting out more EPs, or short collections of songs.

Here are my picks for best EPs (alphabetical order):

Ghost - Phantomime EP

Nonpoint - Heartless EP

Sleep Theory - Paper Hearts EP

Spiritbox - The Fear Of Fear EP

Summer 2017 concerts: Korn, Metallica, R&RHOF classics

I already wrote about AFI's Blood Tour here.  The next summer concert I went to was at the end of July called the Summer of Serenity Tour headlined by Korn with openers Ded, Yelawolf, Skillet, and Stone Sour.  I saw them in Camden at the recently renamed BB&T Pavilion.  It's a great venue, but they have exorbitant parking fees and you don't want to hang around the city after dark.

I had just purchased Ded's debut album and I was excited to see them live.  Fortunately, I made it for the 5PM start time.  They are a hard-hitting nu-metal band that formed in Arizona.  Rather than coming onto the scene 20 years late, I think they are here right on time.  There aren't a lot of bands out there anymore with this aggressive, heavy style and I think they are good enough to make some waves.  That being said, their best songs also have choruses that you can sing/scream along to.  Check out "Anti-Everything" to get a sense of their sound.

Yelawolf is a hip-hop artist and DJ that has been on Eminem's record label and worked with artists the likes of Kid Rock, Lil' John, Ed Sheeran, and Travis Barker.  His music wasn't really my style, but he was entertaining and his DJ stand like the front of an old muscle car decked out with chrome was cool.

This was my third time seeing Skillet and they put on a good live show.  Their female drummer, Jen contributes on vocals that adds dynamics juxtaposing frontman and bassist, John.  John's wife, Korey, fills out the sound on backing vocals while also holding down the rhythm on guitar or keyboards.  Newer songs like "Feel Invincible" work right in with other crowd favorites like "Rebirthing" and "Hero."

I have seen Slipknot a few times, but this was my first time seeing Stone Sour.  They also have new material out with Hydrograd that just came out in June.  Corey and the band sounded good, but I had high expectations and they didn't blow me away.  They basically played all their hits which represent a variety of styles.  Songs still resonated with the crowd as evidenced by the girl in front of me balling her eyes out during 2006's "Through Glass."  The next night was in PNC when Cory let his son sing "Song #3."

I've known about Korn since 1996 and I finally got to see them live for the first time in 2004 and they were great.  I have never been as big of a fan of them compared to some other bands in the genre.  I didn't love some of their recent albums either.  That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Korn this time around.  They sounded tight and as heavy as ever.  They played a lot of their hits and songs spanning their 20+ year career.

My personal summer concert series continued in Seattle, WA in August.  This is the first time I've ever been outside of NJ/NY/PA for a major label artist's concert.  First, up was Chevelle supported by Dinosaur Pickup and Black Map at a club called Showbox SODO just south of Safeco Field where the Mariners play.  The venue was converted into a concert hall from an old warehouse.  It has brick walls.  There is a long rectangular GA section in front of the stage and then a smaller raised area with a long bar and some table seating. I made friends with a couple that had some room at their table and grabbed a seat with a great sight line of the stage. Dinosaur Pickup was first and they were an enjoyable local group that sounded a bit like Nirvana and Smile Empty Soul.  Black Map was another similar rock act that wasn't bad, but I didn't think they had a very dynamic sound.  Songs started to blend together and I was anxious for their set to end.

Chevelle came out and did not disappoint.  Lead singer/guitar player, Pete, said this was their last show of the tour and he was pretty tired, but the band still sounded great.  This was my 8th time seeing them live and the first time since 2016's release The North Corridor from which they played Young Wicked, Joyride (Omen), and Door to Door Cannibals.  There was also a wickedly amazing run of songs including Clincher, Take Out the Gunman, Island, Vitamin R, and Get Some.  About halfway through the set an angry butch girl started causing problems by standing in front of people that had been there all night.  In order to avoid the killjoy and in attempt to resolve some conflict, I gave up my seat and went down to the floor.  I had to avoid spilled beer, but had a decent view still. Their encore consisted of four songs!  The Red, Comfortable Liar, Forfeit, and Send the Pain Below. I still listen to Chevelle fairly regularly and every time I see them live it reminds me of why they are one of my all-time favorite bands.

Another first happened this trip when I saw Metallica with Avenged Sevenfold and Gojira.  On some earlier dates, Volbeat played on this tour and I would have really liked to see them.  Still, I was excited for this show and I had heard a lot of great things about Gojira.  They were good.  Rather than speedy or melodic guitar work, they rely on heavy riffs and mostly screaming and gravely vocals.

A7X was also fun to see.  They had some pyrotechnics and played their hits, but I didn't think that their stage presence and energy was as big as CenturyLink field.  Maybe it was the open air aspect of the venue or maybe it was because they weren't headlining, but I expected a little bit more from a band that is as experienced as they are.  The sound was pretty loud even in the upper deck and I made use of my decibel reducing Earasers that still give good sound quality.

Metallica did not have a problem bringing the energy on stage.  Their stage presence and special effects were much bigger and definitely impressive.  They played 18 songs in 2.5 hours!  I thought the first half was a little slow, but then it picked up with Whiplash followed by Sad But True, One, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, and Seek & Destroy.  The encore was Battery, Nothing Else Matters, and Enter Sandman.  I can finally check this one of my list and I'm glad I finally got to see them in person.

My final summer concert of 2017 was a Father's Day/Birthday present for my dad.  Neither of us had seen Deep Purple before and they were being supported by Edgar Winter and Alice Cooper.  Edgar Winter (who I had heard in the womb in 1980 and saw live last summer) played only four songs, but also included his live trick of scatting with his mouth and getting mirrored by his guitar player or drummer.  He also played multiple instruments including guitar, saxophone, drums, and keyboards. At 70, his energy and ability is impressive.

Alice Cooper is 69 and he too is continuing to rock audiences like a badass.  His latest album Paranormal was released at the end of July.  He was up there wielding his baton and popping balloons without missing a beat.  He still is doing a pretty big stage show that included a naughty nurse, a twisted ballerina, Frankenstein's monster, the guillotine, and multiple costume changes.  My dad appreciated classics like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Under My Wheels."  I've always been a fan of "Feed My Frankenstein, I'm Eighteen, and School's Out"

Deep Purple played about a dozen songs plus a drum solo and keyboard solo.  Things started off great with "Highway Star."  We got other classics "Knockin' At Your Backdoor, Perfect Strangers, Space Truckin', and Hush."  Some of the songs like newer tracks "The Surprising" and "Time for Bedlam" are a little bit too out there for my dad and my tastes.  We like them for the classic hard rock band that got them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and I wish we would have gotten to hear "Woman From Tokyo."  They closed the night with one of the biggest rock songs ever, "Smoke on the Water."  I was happy to get that and even though there wasn't an encore, they closed with their best.  My dad and I had a good time and he really seemed to appreciate the gift.  That makes it all worth it.

Top 10 Favorite Songs by Artist

Usually I post about new music and concert reviews in my favorite genre of hard rock.  This post will be a list of favorite songs by some classic rock artists and early alternative bands.  I was inspired by watching The Beach Boys: An American Family during a snowy Saturday and reminiscing about listening to my dad's vinyl collection which was the initial spark in my interest in rock and music in general.

No list is perfect and it is extremely hard for me to rank favorites.  I know not everyone will agree and will have different opinions. That's fine.
