Your Top Ten Albums of the Year!

[nfe]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that lots here will say they've not really listened to anything new this year, but for those that have, what's been your top ten? (it's actually not been as overwhelming an array of music as most years, I had to whittle down from about 25 this year, usually it's a lot more).

The Meads of Asphodel - The Murder of Jesus the Jew
Ramesses - Take The Curse
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Watain - Lawless Darkness
Electric Wizard - Black Masses
Fukpig - Belief is the Death of Intelligence
Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones
Celeste - Morte(s) Nee(s)
Negura Bunget - Virstele Pamintului

However, my favourite song of the year has probably been this:

My New Years resolution for 2011 will be to check out some of the bands you listed.

Listened to the Ghost track.  Like the music, but the lyrical content sucks, to me.  I don't get the whole "Satan is good" thing...  Satanic rock seems a little self defeating, if you know what I mean.  I'm not a religious man, but if I was I suspect that I wouldn't be rooting for Beelzebub...

I don't think I've even heard let alone liked a whole 10 albums from this year :lol: The only ones that come to mind are:

The Pretty Reckless - Light Me Up
Ellie Goulding - Lights/Bright Lights
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

I'm undecided on Ghost. The whole delivery/production just sounds like they couldn't be arsed, but the songs are quite well written and they have some tasty riffage.

[mecca777]

Paul Gilbert - "Fuzz Universe"
Kaki King - "Junior"
Zola Jesus - "Stridulum EP"
Atheist - "Jupiter"
Pig Narcissus - "F**king Hate Dubstep"
Earl Sweatshirt - "Earl"

I don't think I've heard any other 2010 albums that I can remember. I'll have to check out the Fukpig one though, saw them live a few months ago with no preconceptions (or as few preconceptions as you can have about a band called Fukpig at a noise festival) and was impressed.

[Stevepage]

This years been disappointing for me, there's 1 album I can name.

Daath - Daath

2009 was much better. A lot of stuff coming out next year though.

[Transcend]

for me its just

InMe - Herald Moth

and even though its from 2008
Falconer - Amongst Beggars & Thieves (im adding this as i only found out about them a month or so ago)

Overall a pretty dissapointing year musically

Really? I think their production values are absolutely bang on for what they're trying to do - unashamedly 70's occult rock like Coven and Cauldron and stuff but a bit more shiney and modern sounding.

mnemic - sons of the system

soilwork - the panic broadcast
dimmu borgir's new one maybe

didn't think much to anything else

[Alex]

Wow, I've just realized I bought exactly two albums from 2010 this year,
Soilwork and Black Country Communion.
Both sucked A LOT. The first is boring metalcore, overproduced. The second is boring rock that tries to hard to sound like a classic vintage album.

[gwEm]

My favourite release this year is undoubtedly "Live '83" by Alcatrazz

[Philly Q]

I going to go out on a limb and guess that's lots hear will say they've not really listened to anything new this year

^ This.


Blimey, what have I heard - and liked - that's new this year?  :?

We Are The Fallen - Tear The World Down
Scorpions - Sting In the Tail
ReVamp - ReVamp
Philip Sayce - Innerevolution
Black Country Communion - Black Country

(I was also quite disappointed by the latter)

If I can think of anything else I'll add it....
