Not too many great albums for me this year so far but there's a few killers. Best is Revolu$ion by Nemo and in hot pursuit Pandora, Uriah Heep and Magic Pie. Beardfish seem to be getting quite a few mentions and their new album is certainly a good'un but not the excellent album I was hoping for.

So far I've only heard...3 albums from 2011 - Korekyojinn's Tundra, Combat Astronomy's Flak Planet, and Red Army's Kill Your Dreams. They've all been good so far, but I can't quite make a list yet with only 3 titles listened and half a year to go.

That's the Tartar Lamb II album Polyimage of Known Exits.
Don't Don't Don't is the song of the year for me.

Is the Battles album out yet??? I predict it will be up there for me.
Devin Townsend's Deconstruction is likely to be my album of the year. I've sampled most of it on youtube and it seems spectacular. Waiting for the pre-order CDs on June 20th to arrive to be able to accurately assess.
So the 2 DT albums, Battles, Symphony X, ??? Opeth or MA + SW project are all anticipated albums for me. Otherwise see my sig.
The Grayceon album is awesome. |
Where is the new BtBaM ranking with you now? I know you said you liked it, but I don't see it in your sig.

There were some tracks up on youtube which I checked out. I'm a little burnt on metal right at the moment. I may come back to it. I've been picking up alot more psych / kraut-y stuff lately so the Grails fit the bill. Obscura came up alot on my last.fm mixes about a year ago and I always liked them. They're on the list.
BTW, you can get one track off each of Devy's albums legit for free now.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Ask me again in 12 months, but I could almost give you a list for 2010 now 
I've heard most of the 2011 popular titles but it's all kind of meh.
I retain 2 titles so far:
Grails - Deep Politics (space-post-rock)
Obscura - Omnivium (prog-tech-death)
|
This finally tipped me over to buy the Grails album. First one of theirs for me. Listened on the commute in this morning. I'm liking it, definitely worth the money. I'm putting it in a temporary slot in the sig for now.
