Rolling top 10 for 2011

[Fire breath]

I know most people don't try that many albums and forming a top 10 is not so easy this early in the year but for me it IS easy.

Post your top 10s or 5s as it stands and update as and when you have changes as the months go and new albums break out. Here is my rough current top 10.

10. Perihellium - The War Machines
9. M.ILL.ION - Sane And Insanity
8. Appearance of Nothing - All Gods Are Gone
7. Stratovarius - Elysium
6. Emerald Sun - Regeneration
5. Axenstar - Aftermath
4. Bad Habit - Atmosphere
3. Turisas - Stand Up And Fight
2. Ten - Stormwarning
1. Power Quest - Blood Alliance

 

[AngraRULES]

Dude, it's February...

Plus, the real good stuff hasn't even come out yet.

 

[VenomGA]

The concept is good. It's something I try to do each year so you don't forget about releases from earlier in the year.

LOL not sure of your choices though

 

[AeonicSlumber]

RIght now for me it's something like:

Times Of Grace - The Hymn of A Broken Man
Architects - The Here And Now
Mr. Big - What If...
Noisear- Subvert the Dominant Paradigm
Trap Them - Darker Handcraft


Looking forward of course to:

Graveyard- Hisingen Blues
Red Fang - Murder The Mountains
Meek is Murder- Algorithms
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
World Under Blood - Tactical
Horseback - The Gorgon Tongue
The Haunted - The Unseen
Tesseract - One
Zombi - Escape Velocity
Inevitable End - The Occulus
Torchbearer - Death Meditations
Ulver - War Of The Roses
Rotten Sound - Cursed
Wormrot - Dirge
Symphony X - The Iconoclast
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Belong
Control Denied - When Machine And Man Collide
Whatever they're calling the new Hammerfall
Whatever they're calling the new Gorguts
Whatever they're calling the new Pagan's Mind
Whatever they're calling the new Nails
And a bunch others...

Yes so we can keep track and see how the top 10 or so changes. As for my choices, well they are just that aren't they- MY choices. You don't have to be sure of them, let me worry about that!

 

[Fire breath]

I think these forthcoming albums may well dent that top 10 in good time and it will look pretty different. I do expect Power Quest to be in and around my top 10 most of the year though I'm loving it that much.

Bloodbound - Unholy Cross
Saxon - Call to Arms
Pagan's Mind
Artillery - My Blood
Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
Wizard - ...Of Wariwulfs And Bluotvarwes
Stormwarrior - Heathen Warrior
Rhapsody Of Fire - From Chaos To Eternity
Stargazery - Eye On The Sky
Wolf - Legions of Bastards
Powerwolf

 

[Diabolik]

so far some of the best new releases are

Metal Inquistitor - Unconditional Absolution
The Meads of Asphodel - The Murder of Jesus The Jew
Volture - Shocking Its Prey

All 2010 releases. Agree about the top 2 though. Meads are just insane. I hate crusty lo-fi black or avant garde but this band is just crazy!

 

[General Zod]

This. I haven't even figured out my Top 10 for 2010.

Yes we know you like poofy over produced riffless flower rock that for whatever reason or another you call metal. We get it already.

<3

Was there really any need for that statement? It's a shame you have to stoop to ridicule. I say one thing and you twist it to mean something else even though I was actually being positive about the Meads album.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Dude, laugh a little bit sometimes. Not everything in life is serious.

actually not in the US. Plus the Volture just got released last week.

 

[VenomGA]

Onslaught's Sounds of Violence is the best album I have heard in 2011

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

He's a Djerkoff

Settle down, djentlemen.....

Stop taking the web so seriously!!! Jeez...

And he's got a point.. You're 2011 top ten fits his description!!

 

[Fire breath]

OK. Going to water my flowers now.....

 

[Soundscape]

I can pretty much guarantee this album will be in my top 10 by the end of the year.

the other titles in currently in the index I keep go from solid records, to possible growers, to albums I expect to not sniff my top 50.

Random list of favorites thus far:

Evergrey - Glorious Collision
Stratovarius - Elysium
Voodoo Circle - Broken Heart Syndrome
Presto Ballet - Invisible Places
Mr. Big - What If?
Serenity - Death and Legacy
Shakra - Back on Track

New Jag Panzer is pretty good, but not what it could have (and probably should have) been.

I think I've heard 14 2011 releases thus far.
