First 60% of the Metal Tierlist Faves

So I have looked and I'm actually about 60% done with the metal tierlist! 268 bands have been put on the tiers, ~177 to go. I started it only around Nov. 10th, so this is taking way, way faster than I thought. I feel proud of myself. 83

Anyway, listening for it, here are the albums that stood out to me that were new (and a few I just hadn't heard in a long time), my favorites, in not exactly a particular order, kinda. The top few are my real faves and some of the last few are kind of to fill space but still doesn't mean too much. It also got to a nice 42. I almost thought I'd have to leave a few blank, but no, it went smoothly. Of course, one per band, as my usual rule, though many would only have one that actually stood out to me, might be obvious from some bands who scored low on the tierlist overall being featured here.
