I’d switch up Spiritbox and Sleep Token for the reasons you mentioned. :p Though to be honest, they’re both S Tier for me. I actually loved This Place Will Be Your Tomb…while I do wish it was a bit heavier, some of my favorite songs are on it (Atlantic, Hypnosis, Telomeres). If they had one Gods/Vore type song it would have been perfect. Agree that new album is peak ST though, and definitely AOTY if we’re strictly talking full lengths.

just a remark on elegy being boring; as someone who loves every single one of their albums i too shared you're view after the release and still do for alot of the tracks, but there are some absolute bangers on that album but its not "love at first listen" i highly recommend revisiting "farewell", saurian king and "intensified genoside(imo one of their most heavy songs ever)" and "blood in the sands of time". they grew on me ALOT. sleep token is amazing.

I personally don't get all the hype surrounding Sleep Token, but at the same time I don't consider myself as a hater of the band. They have some cool and interesting songs on every record but nothing mind blowing. And I feel this way on their every record - EP's included. Their music is definitely influential but I wouldn't go as far as naming any of their projects: "Genre defining records". For me at least 70 % of their music is just soft pop-rock combined with generic lyrics sung by very recognizable and somewhat unique voice. And as you mentioned - for example - Slaughter To Prevail has a really good vocalist but their music is just okay. If I had to mention "genre defining band" in vein of Sleep Token but actually unique and innovative, I would say Zeal and Ardor.

Could be me being fuelled by nostalgia, since I follow them since the Myspace era, but Our Last Night newest original stuff is pretty catchy and surprisingly good, but hey it's your list my man. Music is so subjective, it's why it's so awesome. I grew with this band, so I'm for sure biased as hell. They're far from redefining the genre, but they don't have a label and they record all their own stuff, so making covers is pretty much their way to stay independent by making money off streaming platforms. Also, as a whole, I feel like Hollow Front newest album is better than Polaris'. Could easily be a tied tho, but I also get what you mean, it's been done 10000 times.
