My Top 20 Albums of 2022

This year I've decided to just tell you my 20 favourite albums unsorted, because it can get pretty tedious trying to pick some over others. One thing I will say though, is that Cave In's Heavy Pendulum and Russian Circle's Gnosis are above all the rest. One thing I notice about my own list is that it seems to have a lot more "core" than I've had in the past. I like listening to a lot of stuff and my tastes are always changing.
