LUCAS’ TOP ALBUMS OF 2017
2017 has been an interesting year for me. Aside from one stand out album (Trivium’s The Sin and the Sentence) almost every other album on this list could have been put in any other spot and I would have been okay with it. There’s also about 10 other albums that I considered putting on
