the only two 2011 albums I have are the new Beardfish - "Mammoth" and the new Neal Morse - "Testimony 2" and they are both highly enjoyable.

Yeah, but all of the big names are releasing albums, Symphony X, Yes, Rush, Dream Theater, Primus...

Difficult to judge, sooo early in the year...
I thought the same of last year until October (I'd only had UZ's clivage), but most of the interesting releases came in the last quarter year... and 2010 turned out to be a better-than-expected year.
soo far this year, I've only found VdGG's album worthy of buying immediately, but it's not as good as trisector....
as for the Wobbler and consorts (or later on this year Anekdoten) I'm not holding my breath.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Neal Morse's "Testimony 2" came out, I'm enjoying it.
The new Beardfish is weak, the Phideaux... from what I heard, is just more Phideaux. Er, new Blackfield, not so good, Presto Ballet, just ok... BTBAM, surprisingly good, much more lush and varied in its instrumentation than the last one. The new Van der Graaf sounds disappointing... geez. Wonder how the new Yes will be. Don't care much about the Kate Bush "Director's Cut" thing... what else, Magic Pie, Uriah Heep, Pendragon, Nemo...

Jardon De La Croix was decent, but nothing special. Still makes it album of the year so far...

The progressive side of 2011 is weak, but the reast gives me quite some satisfaction. Better than last year so far.

2011 - Very disapointing so far?
