Honorable Mentions
For those who have made it to the very end, here is a playlist with songs from all of our reviewers’ top ten nominations. I hope you all enjoy!
Finally, here is a recap of all of the albums that we rated an 8 or above this year that did not make it to any of our top tens lists. I would advise y’all to look for albums in your preferred genres to find albums that you might not have heard of last year. Thank you all for joining us for a great year. We’ll be there for you for all of your underground prog metal needs.
Best,
The Progressive Subway Team
