Top 10 Albums of 2022

I've been writing these best of the year lists since 2014, and it's always fun for me.  Even if nobody else reads these, I enjoy looking back at the year and reflecting.  I also do my homework and check out other lists online to see if I may have missed something.  Inevitably, I end up discovering a few releases I didn't notice and adding them to my collection.  I rank song quality and album consistency heavily, so if there's only a couple of good tracks, the rating suffers.  Often because of this there are some big names that fall off and a lot of times I end up surprising myself with the final top ten.  This year's list has quite of bit of diversity in terms of musical style and even language (including English, German, Japanese, and Mongolian).


1. Ozzy Osbourne - Patient Number 9

Despite working through injuries, illness, and a global pandemic, Ozzy had a goal of making an album with multiple guest musicians that he admired.  He secured Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton to write songs with, along with Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Tonny Iommi (Black Sabbath), and of course Zakk Wylde.  Album opener and title track "Patient Number 9" f/ Jeff Beck is maybe one of the top 10 Ozzy solo singles of all time, it is that good.  Degradation Rules f/ Tony Iommi is probably the next best song.  Clapton shines on "One of Those Days" which also has a killer hook.  Zakk elevates the songs he is on.  The lyrics and production on this album are phenomenal.  I can listen to it all the way through which is the hallmark of a great album.






2. Lorna Shore - Pain Remains

This album is brutal from start to finish. Usually I don't like "cookie monster" sounding vocals where you can't make out all the lyrics, but I heard good things about this New Jersey band and checked them out. Man, I was not disappointed. Vocalist Will Ramos (formerly of Monument of a Memory and A Wake in Providence) is actually relatively new and the third singer of the band. His growls are well-timed and he sings in a deathcore style similar to Randy Blythe (Lamb of God). The bands sound very different, however. Drumming is a highlight of this album and songs are very dynamic. My favorite is "Soulless Existence" in the middle of the album, and it closes with a cool trilogy "Pain Remains" I, II, and III.






3. The HU - Rumble of Thunder
Mongolian folk metal?  You're damn right.  Take a listen before you write it off.  This band has great rhythms, chugging riffs, and tons of attitude.  Then they add in traditional Mongolian throat singing, instrumentation, and poetry.  I was made aware of them through a friend and then I was fortunate enough to see them open up for Megadeth in September, and they were captivating and sonically fantastic.  I also wrote about their international recognition as "The Artist for Peace" by UNESCO here.  Their videos are phenomenal, and I recommend checking them out.  This album is bookmarked by two really strong songs, but the whole thing is a piece of rocking art. 








4. Alter Bridge - Pawns & Kings

By now you should know of this band.  I certainly listen to them often and have written about them a few times.  Myles Kennedy has one of the best voices in rock and Mark Tremonti is one of the best guitarists.  They are both underrated songwriters and guitarists. They kill it solo, but are just magic together.  I don't think this album has the big catchy choruses that you'll find on some of their other albums, but it is solid and rocks all the way through.  I think the most sonically interesting song is called "Season of Promise."  Great bass lines, interesting melodies, and some soaring riffs.










5. Polyphia - Remember That You Will Die
Ok, this one is different.  Polyphia is a progressive rock band out of Texas that combines jazz, djent, metal, latin, funk, hip-hop, and more!  The band consists of guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage, bassist Clay Gober, and drummer Clay Aeschliman.  The album includes collaborations with hip-hop group Brasstracks, rappers $NOT and Lil West, metal singer Chino Moreno (Deftones), and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai.  My favorite track on this eclectic album is "Ego Death" which features Vai and closes the diverse maze of an album.










6. Disturbed - Divisive (review originally from my article November News and Noteworthy)
Frontman David Draiman and others have called it a return to form as the sound harkens back to their early albums. You can even hear some of Draiman's iconic wah-ka-ka vocal stylings on track "Part of Me." A few years ago Draiman said he was tired of being known for that kind of vocal, but it put them on the map and thankfully it is back. "Hey You" is probably the most iconic song on this album with "Bad Man" and "Divisive" also rocking hard. Draiman is quoted as saying that the Covid-19 pandemic and political instability made him "blisteringly angry" and he was anxious to write "new, original, angry, ferocious, brutal material." A different style is seen on "Don't Tell Me" which features Ann Wilson of Heart and is said to be inspired by founding guitarist Dan Donegan's divorce from his wife of 18 years. Ann wanted to work with Disturbed since hearing their popular cover of "Sound of Silence."





7. Silverstein - Misery Made Me
For a post-hardcore/emo band, Silverstein has been remarkably consistent.  Misery Made Me is their 11th studio album.  I own six of them so I know and like this band a lot.  I keep getting prepared to be let down, and I keep getting pleasantly rewarded with just good emo-punk-rock songs.  This album features a few guest singers including Mike Hranica (Devil Wears Prada) and three indie artists.  I like music with fast tempo, good rhythms, good lyrics, and good guitar work.  This band just delivers those things and is why I am a fan.  They don't get as political as Senses Fail, they just bring it.  I'd like to catch them live at some point.








8. I Prevail - True Power
Do you like breakdowns?  I do and I Prevail definitely does.  True Power is their third album.  I loved the first two, and I think this one may be even better.  They've matured and gotten better at their craft which is mixing different influences and styles into a hard rock juggernaut. Two months before the album dropped, their lead single "Body Bag" was playing on Octane and other radio.  It is a banger.  The second single "Bad Things" has more clean singing and a very poppy chorus, but with some screaming and breakdowns in keeping with their main style.  Two more singles were released and then songs like "Choke" that aren't official singles are still making waves on stations like Octane because they are still so many great hard rockers on this album.  It just may have dropped on my list because of a boring song in the middle of the 14 songs and an intro track that is just 42 seconds of noise.





9. Rammstein - Zeit
As noted in my concert review, "Armee der Tristen," the leading track of Rammstein's newest album, Zeit is a nice start because it has a driving rhythm at a medium tempo that is hard enough to bang your fist to and also feature's Till's storytelling vocal style. It is also apropos to open their stadium tour because the song is about uniting a group of disheartened people, "the party of the hopeless," in a march "against luck."  The rest of the album tackles concepts like racism, relationships, and plastic surgery all against the backdrop of the theme of time that is always ticking.  We are not getting any younger so Till and company definitely advocate fulfilling sexual desires ("OK, Dicke Titten") and accepting that we are not perfect ("Lügen").  The album ends as the stadium tour shows did, with "Adieu."  Rumor had it that this might be the last Rammstein album, but fortunately reports have come out that they are already working on another one.  As the lyrics say, "only death lasts forever... adieu, goodbye, see you again."






10. Megadeth - The Sick, the Dying…and the Dead!

I had high hopes for this album and would have predicted this would be higher on my list.  As it turns out, I think it is a very good album, but not an excellent one compared to Megadeth's own catalogue.  The opening title track is one of my favorites here and it reflects on the Covid pandemic by comparing it to the plague.  There's definitely some more good tracks and some great guitar playing by Mustaine.  The disappointing part was some of the lyrics seem generic and the middle of the album has a few tracks that aren't as good as the start or the finish.










Honorable Mention:  Weezer - SZNZ (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter EPs)

How do you rate EPs?  I don't think there are enough tracks (7 each) to qualify as an album in the top 10 list.  As a collection I think it is amazing because concept albums do not always work, but I think the seasonal theme is a cool idea that helps at the same time distinguish and unite the EPs.  Three of the four I would buy again.  I am of the opinion that the songs on Summer are the strongest, making it my favorite of the four seasons - er SZNZ.  I would not have predicted this as I would have thought the more melancholy would get my vote.  Spring is definitely the poppiest and least favorite.  However, the other three all could stand alone in the Weezer discography as being very strong releases.  Altogether there is something for everyone here, and many of the tracks include what fans of classic Weezer like best.  There are clever lyrics and song structures with deep meaning and introspection.  For highlights from each EP, check out "A Little Bit of Love" (Spring), "Thank You and Goodnight" (Summer), "Get Off on the Pain" (Autumn), and "The Deep and Dreamless Sleep" (Winter)

Rammstein - North American Stadium Tour 2022 (Philadelphia)

 8-31-22 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA

I have been a fan of Rammstein since I first heard them 25 years ago.  I had wanted to see them live for about as long, especially after hearing about how wild their stage show can be.  Rammstein rarely plays in the US, even though it makes up a huge portion of their fan base.  I own a live DVD and watched some videos online, but it is never the same as being there.  I was thrilled to learn they would be coming back to the US, and would be in my area, after releasing their self-titled seventh major album.  Unfortunately, Covid-19 made me wait two more years before I could go see them.  The tour was postponed in 2020 because of pandemic-related shutdowns.  In 2021 the band decided to postpone after a Covid resurgence would have restricted attendance.  The band wanted to perform with their full stage show to as big a crowd as possible, and looking back now, they made the right call.  Here's my story of the concert going experience.

I arrived at the stadium with two buddies a little behind schedule, but still with enough time to do some tailgating before entry.  I had heard the opening act would be a couple of pianists, and we decided it was ok if we didn't get to hear them, instead opting to eat some subs and knock back a few beers to cut back on high priced stadium concessions.  We had to walk around a building and through a vacant lot to get to the stadium which took us a little longer than expected so that by the time we made it to our seats at 7:45PM, the pianists had just finished.   At 8:05, the stage went dark and then the band members started to emerge one by one from the fog, becoming visible to the crowd.

The set began with "Armee der Tristen," the leading track of Rammstein's newest album, Zeit.  It was a nice start because it has a driving rhythm at a medium tempo that is hard enough to bang your fist to and also feature's Till's storytelling vocal style.  It is also apropos that the song is about uniting a group of disheartened people, "the party of the hopeless," in a march "against luck."  Here we go, thousands of us together, finally!  The second song was "Zick Zak" off the same album which picked up the tempo and continued to energize the crowd.  This song features classic Rammstein electronica keyboards and industrial influences.  Next came "Links 2, 3, 4" off of 2001's Mutter.  This song was written in opposition to Nazism, and is a common song in the live shows since it was released.  For the fourth song this set we go back even further to the title track from 1997 "Sehnsucht."  This is the first time we get some big flashes of fire on stage, and I get the feeling that the pyrotechnics are off to the races!  Next comes "Zeig Dich," the first track played from 2020's Rammstein.  Then "Mein Herz Brennt" takes things to the next level.  This song was really remarkably heavy to hear live.  It was often the opening song from sets of its era, and I can see why.  Likewise, it kicked off my favorite string of songs in the set.  Next came "Puppe" which is a disturbing song about a child torturing a doll while listening to their sister prostituting herself in the next room.  This was followed by "Heirate Mich" off the debut 1995 album Herzeleid, which was a surprise to hear make it into the set, although it has been favored by the band more over the years.  The song title translates to "Marry Me" though the lyrics speak about necrophilia, thought to be a metaphor for desiring lost loves.  "Zeit" then gives us some relief from the auditory assault and brings the tempo down as the stage fills with smoke creating a fitting aura.  Being a slower song, this was a curious track to be the lead single from the 2022 release, but it became #1 in Germany and was nominated for single of the year by UK magazine Kerrang!

"Deutchland" follows, and as I previously wrote, it's lyrics portray a love-hate relationship with the motherland.  This song has to be in my top 10 Rammstein songs.  It was followed by another banger, "Radio" which felt so much bigger live.  It is now that I'm feeling I am witnessing one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.  That is quite a big statement coming from someone who has been to over 150 major concerts.  Next comes "Mein Teil" which is a song about a 2001 cannibalism case by Armin Meiwes.  At this point a giant kettle appears on stage.  The keyboard player is playing inside the kettle as Till appears with a butcher's hat and knife looking super menacing on stage.  He grabs a flame thrower and shoots flames under the kettle.  If that wasn't enough, here comes a fire cannon.  Even bigger flames are shot at the kettle and huge fire plumes "cook" the poor keyboard player alive while Till sings "Denn du bist was du isst - you are what you eat."  If that wasn't grandiose enough, next comes their biggest hit "Du Hast."  Check out my commentary on the meaning of this song in my previous blog linked below.  Ironically, this song is presented without much theatrics at 9:30PM.  There was a really cool fire display that went from the stage to the tower in the middle of the arena and back again.  I start to fear we are coming to the end of the show and we hear another concert staple, "Sonne," and more pyrotechnics.  Sure enough, the band then leaves the stage.  The crowd is cheering for an encore and some closeups of people with Rammstein t-shirts and tattoos soon turns to flash-cam as several female patrons delight the crowd by showing their breasts.  Equal opportunity, there were some guys that got just as big a reaction from the crowd, lol.

After a few minutes Rammstein appears on a lighted small stage in the middle of the crowd with the pianists from Duo Abelard.  They collectively play "Engel."  As the song plays out, three giant inflatable rafts appear and take the band crowdsurfing back to the main stage.  Next comes "Auslander" which was the third single from the 2020 album and is so catchy that it was stuck in my head all night.  I was happy to get to hear this song, and would have been more than satisfied had the concert ended there.  Instead, we hear "Du Reichst so Gut," another song off the first album, and "Pussy," a sexually charged song, to close out a bangin' encore.  The band leaves the stage for a second time.

But wait, there's more!  The house lights don't come up and after some cheering from the crowd, the band returns to play . . . what else? . . . Rammstein!  Then comes "Ich Will" which goes really hard, and finally "Adieu" as the band says goodbye with the last song from the latest album.  Till says "Thank you; we love you Philadelphia.  Danke!"  They bow at 10:20PM.  The band then appears in what looks like an elevator inside the central tower on stage.  They ascend towards the band logo and flames at the top.  They stop and wave to the crowd.  The image then ascends to the fire and one final explosion takes place and credits start to roll.  It truly takes an army of people to pull off a fantastic show and the proof is in those scrolling credits as well as the dozen or so tractor trailers out in front of the stadium.

Sometimes when you anticipate something so much and build it up in your mind, it can be a letdown when the event actually happens.  This wasn't the case for seeing Rammstein.  They delivered a memorable show that had us rocking from beginning to end.  We were left satisfied, and still wanting more.  There are more songs that I would have liked to hear, but I cannot argue with 21 songs from seven different albums in two hours and fifteen minutes.  If you can make it to the show at MetLife stadium on Sept. 6, or whenever they might come around again, go!  This show had the kind of huge songs like other greats I've seen live such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest with a stage show bigger than Alice Cooper or Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  Hopefully it is not another decade before they tour the US, but you never know.

Top 10 songs from Nu-metal/Modern Rock Artists

One of the posts I'm most proud of is my Top 10 Songs for Classic Rock artists (read here).  I decided to make a list for more modern artists.  This is a huge category and most of my library is from this era, so for the purposes of this post the band has to have been popular at some point in the 2000s and I had to own more than two albums by the artist.

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. These are my top 10 favorite original tunes by a few rock artists of the new millenium.  I'll continue to add to this on occasion.  Listed alphabetically by artist first name:
