I haven't bought much metal from this year. Six albums so far and my fav is Living With The Ancients by Blood Ceremony. My fav album so far is Politics from the Grails. Biggest disappointment is Fly From Here by Yes. More prog/pop. I was kind of expecting it but was hoping for something more. All in all it's been disappointing year for me...so far.

That list of mine will definitely change, especially come September with the new Dream Theater and Opeth releases. I'm really looking forward to those.

Yeah, it's planned for an October release. They recently announced it's title as "Visions", along with the track list. Like Aquarius it's going to be a concept album. It's probably my most anticipated release overall actually, I'm eager to hear of they can 'do it again' so to speak.

Yep, one of the few remaining releases that I feel stands a chance of upsetting my top 5.
I'm exited for Opeth's new one too, the descriptions given of the music sound very intriguing. Also Аркона, Anubis Gate, Pharaoh and of course Dream Theater. The songs from the new Hysterica sound awesome so far as well.

However good the albums are, I can forsee the top five of the overall 2011 albums, though maybe not in this order:
     Anyone care to guess why?   (ok, maybe not Road Salt 2) |

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

My list is wide open now. Nothing set in stone, as I haven't even listened that much to the releases I do like. If I was to make a prediction, I think Symphony X will get album of the year.
I'm waiting on the Dream Theater, Mastodon, Arch/Maheos, Opeth, and Primus (alt metal!!), any of which could crack my list.

I'm still waiting on a few releases before I start forming a list. Hasn't been a stellar year for metal thusfar.

I hope new Testament album is good. There are a lot of big-name releases on the way.

I never heard their debut in full, but what I did hear was pretty good.
