I hit 80 at the beginning of the week - I'm on track to break 120 before the end of the year, heh heh...when I started my RYM account, I thought "wouldn't it be cool if my 2012 list was bigger than any other list?" And I set the goal of reaching 80. Then I ended up listening to something like 30 albums in a 2 month period, and figured out I could actually break 100. Now I'm looking at 120.

As expected, Atra Mors by Evoken has climbed to number 1 on this years list thus far.
Funeral doom metal doesn't get much better than this.

Not due till September 11th  . . .But Progulus.com got an advance copy, and after hearing only 2 Tracks ("Cynic Dreams" and the title track "Catalyst"), this may very well make my No. 1. The Sci-Fi Concept album by Tech-Prog Metal/Tech-Thrash outfit PROTOTYPE . . .  Monumental musicianship, well worth the "7" year wait . . .  Edited by MAVIIIVAM - 05 Aug 2012 at 1:44am |

^ When something upsets my previous number one it's usually something I least expect it from.
I may have to revise my score of Hail Spirit Noir's album to be placed higher in my list. I'll never be keen on that drawn out section during Into the Gates of Time but I was fortunate recently to get an interview with Theoharis for Heavy Metal Haven and after he answered my questions I had a whole new perspective of some parts of their music, specifically the last song on the album Haire Pneuma Skoteino.

So far my only 2012, 5 star rating is for "Koloss" by Meshuggah (http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/koloss--review.aspx?id=271046) and as of now I don�t see anything getting in the way of me voting it my number one album of the year:
