Best EPs of 2016

I love me some EPs.  While the line between EP and LP is arbitrary, EPs have a typical run time between 20-30 minutes.  They are a nice short burst of music where you can get a full album experience without as big of a time commitment.  Here are my favorites of 2016.

The Best Non-Metal Albums of 2016

For reasons I've already mentioned before, I like to maintain a separate list of non-metal albums.  Although the list of non-metal albums is significantly shorter, it was way more difficult to narrow it down than the metals.  These albums come from genres that are not in my wheelhouse, and I find it harder to find the words to describe my thoughts.  After playing around with the list for about a week I finally settled on this glorious top 10.

The Best 16 Albums of 2016

This was another tough list to put together.  The top 5ish spots are usually pretty easy, and deciding which albums to cut in the last few spots are a struggle.  For the past month I've been going through the bajillions of best of lists. As usual there was a TON of stuff I missed.  I just have to be ok with the face that there's only 24 hours in a day and it's damn near impossible to get to everything.  Last year I made an unsuccesful attempt to catch up everything I missed, but eventually gave up and finalized my list a month or two into the new year.  This year I've drawn the line at the end of the year, and if I missed anything, then so be it.  Onward to my list!
