I'm gonna post my list with an asterisk at the end since I'm still listening to two albums (and they deserve a fair chance).
Top 10 albums, in order:
1. TesseracT - Concealing Fate EP (I know this isn't a full album, but for some reason this album won't leave my car!)
2. Kingcrow - Phlegethon
3. Alcest - Écailles De Lune
4. Kamelot - Poetry For The Poisoned
5. Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here
6. Mar De Grises - Streams Inwards
7. James LaBrie - Static Impulse
8. Division By Zero - Independent Harmony
9. Barren Earth - Curse Of The Red River
10. Orphaned Land - The Neverending Way Of ORwarriOR
I would've preferred a top 6 list since the last four are only marginally better than many other albums. The first 6 are in a class of their own!
On another note, I think the songs "Valkyries" by Blind Guardian and "Release" by Rosetta should get honorable mentions. The songs themselves are AMAZING, but the overall albums didn't quite make my top 10 list.
*Note: this post might change if the new Engel or Agalloch albums best the Orphaned Land album...

Interesting... we made it to Post 31 before someone case a vote for Kamelot. Not sure if that says more about the new album or the changing tastes of the forum.
Not sure how my list will shake out, but the following seemed destined for high marks...
Accept - Blood of Nations
Brant Bjork - Gods & Goddesses
Disturbed - Asylum
Drudkh - Handful of Stars
Halcyon Way - Building the Towers
High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine
Ihsahn - After
Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned
Joe Satriani - Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards
Sinbreed - When Worlds Collide
Sister Sin - True Sounds of the Underground
Star One - Victims of the Modern Age
The Sword - Warp Riders
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones
Yakuza - Of Seismic Consequence

Way too early for me to make a definitive top 10 list. I like over 160 releases this year. I will give it a very tentative shot though.
These top 5, in this order, are a pretty sure bet:
1. Atheist - Jupiter / complex death
2. Son of Aurelius - The Farthest Reaches / complex death
3. Arsis - Starve for the Devil / thrashy death
4. Taking Dawn - Time to Burn / hair metal
5. Disturbed - Asylum / mainstream metal
Making a prediction today, these would round out my top 10:
6. Forbidden - Omega Wave / thrash
7. Canobliss - Man Is the Enemy / mainstream metal
8. The Crinn - Dreaming Saturn / complex noisecore
9. Soreption - Deterioration of Minds / death metal
10. Helstar - Glory of Chaos / American power metal
Others that will likely rank highly:
A Tortured Soul - Lucifer's Fate / traditional metal
All That Remains - For We Are Many / metalcore
Alter Bridge - AB III / mainstream metal
Angelus Apatrida - Clockwork / thrash
Anihilated - Scorched Earth Policy / thrash
Antithesis - Dreaming Reality / American power metal
Bonded by Blood - Exiled to Earth / thrash
Crystalic - Persistence / thrashy death
Dååth - s/t / thrashy death
Diskreet - Engage the Mechanicality / complex death
Flotsam and Jetsam - The Cold / thrash
Grand Magus - Hammer of the North / traditional metal
Heathen - The Evolution of Chaos / thrash
Holy Grail - Crisis in Utopia / traditional metal
Imbalance - Period Three Implies Chaos / thrash
Journal - Unlorja / complex deathcore
Negligence - Coordinates of Confusion / thrash
Periphery - s/t / complex deathcore
Ratt - Infestation / hair metal
Vindicator - The Antique Witcheries / thrash

Canceling the tour killed any buzz that was going on for the album.
I haven't seen that album talked about anywhere.
Had they toured, it would have been discussed more.
I haven't heard the album, but I do like their darker direction they took with Ghost Opera. There were just a lot more higher priority releases for me, that this is very low on my list of discs I still want to get. So much so, that I probably won't bother unless I get it in a trade.
Also, you are right. There seems to be a major change in tastes, in looking at folks lists.

I found 15 albums that I LOVE this year - the last 4 might even end up placing in top 10, but I just haven't spent enough time with them yet to be able to tell if they'll be there or not.
I purposely decided to omit any Intromental bands, simply because I'm extremely biased, and besides all of the bands would be yelling at me for placing some other band higher than them, haha.
1. Spiritual Beggars Return To Zero
2. Pain Of Salvation Road Salt, Part I
3. Black Country Communion Black Country Communion
4. Shaolin Death Cult Five Deadly Venoms
5. Kamelot Poetry For The Poisoned
6. Ihsahn After
7. Orphaned Land The Neverending Way Of ORwarriOR*
8. Periphery Periphery
9. Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
10. Pretty Maids - Pandemonium
11. Triptykon Eparistera Daimones
12. The Shadow Theory Behind The Black Veil
13. Mr. Big What If
14. Star One Victims Of The Modern Age
15. Kings X Live Love In London
* Yeah, I did also include this on my 2009 list as I got it in December that year - not bad being able to put it on the list two years in a row

Whoa! I feel basically the same way but I thought I was the only one. Really underrated album.
I like 4, 7, and 10. Need to spend more time with them to see where they end up ranking.
Do you know when is the new Mr. Big being released?

Just Do It.
Pulled the Kamelot disc out after a month of not listening to it (only because I finally got the Manimal and loved it), and am enjoying it even more (and I liked it to start).

I had no idea so many people on this forum liked Disturbed.
Thank you.
It is quite DISTURBing indeed!
