2 1000Mods – Repeated Exposure To...
http://stonerhive.blogspot.nl/2016/12/number-2.html
nd now we jump another forty-seven points for the Silver Medal on Number 2. Indeed, forty-seven points to reach they sun bleached tones and dried out fuzz. A band that made the 13th position of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2011 with their soundtrack to a super vacation. This one exposes your over and over to a truckload of fantastic riffs, fine arcs, vistas and unquestionable good hooks. Every one of the eight tracks on this record are filled to the brim with those amazing riffs and hooks, interspersed here and there with some psychedelic freak outs, bluesy solos or droning guitars. Add to this the wild bass work and intense drumming and we have a legendary album in the making. And if that isn’t enough to fulfill that prophecy we have vocal lines that are exactly, smack dab, in the middle of the mix and precisely right. Some might claim that continuous, repetitive contact with music and message could be viewed as brainwashing and mind control. Well, I don’t believe that. I do believe in this quartet. Completely and utterly! “We are the Gods, the kings of nowhere…” They are Gods alright. Greek gods, and we will worship them as they rightfully should be. By everyone!

1 Greenleaf – Rise Above The Meadow
http://stonerhive.blogspot.nl/2017/01/number-1.html
There can be only one. A 1000Mods stood firm on Second Place. But to reach our Gold Medalist, the Numero Uno, the one true legendary album of 2016, we almost have to double the amount of points of the 1000Mods album Repeated Exposure To… Incredible! And something I had not expected. Not because of some form of doubt about this album or this band. Cause they were ofcourse also present on the Countdown before, on Number 9 back in 2014 and Number 14 in 2012. But because there were so many great albums released this year. I reckoned the field would have been much closer together. I, have to say, to some shame perhaps, that I had not recognized the status and amazing beauty of this album. In former years I knew, as everyone probably did, that Elder would win. Or Wo Fat or even Electric Wizard. But while I kept listening to this album over and over and enjoying every freaking riff and moment of it. I had not recognized it’s true quality. I do now. And it will continue to be pure energy for me from this moment on. Righteous fuel. And I need fuel. I am a serious consumer. And I am a firm believer, that on some nights, when the moon is full, and the animals are on the prowl, a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles with the right kind of music very loud on the radio… And yes, this album will make it run even faster and even further…

11 Wretch - Wretch
A band that names itself after the first album of the band that started everything has some gigantic balls. Yes, we just assume they did that.
I assumed it was because the last GoS album was called The Wretch.
