Hopefully Jon coming back is a good sign.  Still, I can't help but cringe when I see a song title like "Damned Draft Dodgers".
 
I've lost hope completely.  It WILL be better than their last release (not hard to do), but they keep comparing it so how much it sounds like None So Vile and it won't come close.

It's a damn good year so far IMO.  I've researched and invested more wisely this year as I haven't been dissappointed with any hard rock/metal I've purchased in 2012.  I've enjoyed most of the ones my brother picked up as well.  Still need to dig online to find some more obscure stuff though.  And there are still at least 10 more "mainstream" metal releases I look forward to hearing that have yet to come out this year (Soundgarden, Converge, Cryptopsy, Voivod, and Behold.. The Arctopus among them).

According to my progfreak account I have listened to 42 albums that were released in 2012.  Only 11 of them might qualify as MMA material.  Well I guess 12 with Rush's Clockwork Angels.

Cool

Although 2.5 for Huntress...Shocked
Sorry dude - I've decided my ratings are nothing more than a measurement of my own personal enjoyment, nothing more, and I don't even try to pretend any more that they are or even could be anything else.  I just didn't like the vocals for that Huntress album...but the riffs were good.  Oh well...

The buzz for Cattle Decap's new album over at EM prompted me to check out a song.

Pretty awesome deathgrind.

My 2012 List

My 2011 list ended up at 121 albums after I added the one's I didn't review at the end of the year. I don't add to my main list until I've reviewed the album (during the current year at least), which is why my list grows much slower than some of the others on RYM. And some of those others are really huge. See example:



I currently have the following albums to place, with rough draft ratings (I use a star system like MMA for draft ratings). Not everything is MMA material.

Flying Colors - Flying Colors (4/5)
Accept - Stalingrad (4/5)
Shadowdance - Future Negative Fantasy (4/5)
Dawn of Destiny - Praying to the World (4/5)
Crucified Barbara - The Midnight Chase (3.5/5)
Burning Point - The Ignitor (2.5/5)
Panic Room - Skin (3.5/5) 
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Ascending to Infinity (3.5/5)
Nachtmystium - Silencing Machine (4/5)
Cloudscape - New Era (4/5)
Spheric Universe Experience - The New Eve (4/5) - my next review, draft rating has changed
Prototype - Catalyst (4/5)
