Hey, another last-minute, big-name album on the horizon. Congratulations to Sunn O))) on leaving things ’til the VERY last minute!

Y’know, I really shouldn’t slag these December releases off, because a certain such release from last year ended up being one of my favorite albums of 2014. But still, generally speaking…why, bands? Why? I promise you, the first 11 months of the year are just as good as December. Seriously.

Anyway, Corey and I are in full-on Best-of-’15 mode on the podcast ’til the end of the year, so barring something totally mind-blowing, we likely won’t be talking about any of these. (Sorry, kids, our lists are more or less set.) But that said, there’s still some stuff that might be worth a listen or two. Take a look:
