Cool, I agree with my buddy Caio on this one! Handshake
Does that mean I will soon come to like Haken as well now? Confused

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

2. Shaolin Death Squad - Five Deadly Venoms
3. Univers Zero - Clivages
4. Haken - Aquarius
5. Jaga Jazzist - One Armed Bandit 
6. TesseracT - Concealing Fate

8. Echoes - Nature Existence
9. Ihsahn - After
10. Shadow Theory - Behind the Black Veil

4/10, not bad...most of my others placed reasonably as well.
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.

1. Periphery - Periphery
2. Intronaut - Valley of Smoke
3. Cloudkicker - Beacons
4. The Ocean - Anthropocentric
5. Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit
6. TesseracT - Concealing Fate EP
7. East of the Wall - Ressentiment
8. Kayo Dot - Stained Glass
9. Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality
10. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis

1/10 for me... I guess I must have missed out on the avant and jazz craze.  Iridule probably would have made my list if I had acquired it before the deadline.

Man, Coyote really hit hard this year.  I've tried that album again and again and it still hasn't quite hit me as being as good as everyone claims it to be.  That being said I liked Stained Glass a ton.

An alright year as far as metal releases go, but it pales in comparison to 2009 and then even the releases lined up for 2011.

Great work Alex. Thumbs Up
 
Only 1 album in my top 10 made it in the top 10 here but an interesting selection nevertheless.
 
Intersting to compare our list with the Classic Rock Prog list - totally different. Albums in their top 10 barely scraped it into our top 50 - or even lower!

A truly fabelous job, Alex (Harmonium) !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clap

By any chance; is your t-shirt size L and do you like the band Izz ?????? I have a t-shirt by them which is at least ten slimming diets too small for me. Just a sign of my appreciation......

And in any case you think I am "buttering" him up; two of my top ten made it into the list.... Nurse, more butter. Nurse !!!

Great work! A couple of mine made the top ten ... a few of mine, I can see evidence that maybe one other person voted on them. XD

Good. I haven't heard one of them. 

I'm thinking on getting Univers Zero, Kayo Dot and Agalloch though.

I'm surprised the Anathema album didn't do better, it's done very well elsewhere.

I was late, just got Road Salt One and love it. Would have given it points. It took me a long time to forgive them over Scarsick.

I don't mean to imply you have terrible taste in music, but Marrow of the Spirit is their best so far.



Also Dream Theater sucks Cool


As a matter of fact, I know you are one of the few (if not the only one) who thinks like that Cooling. LOL Even Brian, who puts that guy on an ivory tower, kind of thinks like me.

Brian also put it #2 on his list for MMA, though.  And Kevin agrees with me that it's better than The Mantle (it just took him a  while)

^It is better than The Mantle, but there was much better Black Metal out last year IMO.

The Agalloch release wasn't what I expected, but heck, the Alcest release crushed it imho.

It's nice to see so many things listed ... and I/we/mostofus ... have no idea who they are ...
 
I can't afford all this stuff! Cry
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Well, heard 7 from the Top 10, not bad. The only problem is that only one of them figures in my personal Top 10. LOL

Interestingly, the UZ album was the only 2010 prog I owned for most of the year. I got into the djent stuff, but none of that made the top 10. Toward the end of the year I start sampling albums and had a few nice finds.
 
But no masterpieces for me in 2010.
 
I'm expecting several in 2011. Deconstruction samples sound unworldly.
