My current "list" is a total mess.  It just groups releases I like and/or should purchase, then some other releases I've heard or own.  I probably won't be confident enough to share it for a few more months.

Just finished filling out my list on rate your music. It's a lot more visually appealing that my Last.fm list.


Lots of my favourite bands have releases out soon, so the higher end of the list could well still be upset.

I've been a reviewing machine since uni finished for the summer. There's three more 2011 releases on the go at the moment.

I'm also quite enjoying Boris' Heavy Rocks (2011).  I'll probably pick up their other two 2011 albums soon.

and I'm fucking excited for new Russian Circles

Not a lot of you know about WITTR, but judging by this leak, this album is going to be awesome.  But I think this might just be an interlude.



harmonium, if you like Liturgy, you'll LOVE Wolves in the Throne Room.  Similar tone, similar ideology (I guess), much better songwriting.

^^^^ I'll have to give WITTR another shot. Brought their first album when it came out, but it didn't do too much for me.

On another note, Corrupted have just release a new album (I've not heard it yet) but I'll be sincerely surprised if this isn't one of my favourite albums this year:



"And so, the consciousness left from the body being wounded and exhausted by the countless difficulties of life, assimilated with the spring called infinity, like healing oneself. An infinity and eternity. An eternity and symbol of death. A symbol of death and wellspring of creation. Rising from the wellspring of creation, the product will rest forever even after the ruin of the body of the creator, reprocessing in front of another new lives. But as the time passes by, our lives in reality are loosing It's imaginative fascination by the material, times, and the evil named science. Our lives are full of lies. Our suffering demented soul will completely support death. Just because of the strong love for "life". CORRUPTED should be the the rare existence as the band nowadays struggling to expose the lies of life. Their 4th album is entitled "Garten Der Unbewusstheit", which means "garden of unconsciousness". This is the final album by "original" CORRUPTED featuring 3 tracks, total 63 minutes. But �garden of unconsciousness� should have existed from the early hardcore approaching days of CORRUPTED. The reason is not clear, but definitely what was going on was not progression, nor development but seeking and recurrence. So the fact is that the beat on this album is most calm, gentle, and transparent than ever. And this paradoxical evolution form is nothing but the result of huge studio works, mixing thousands of feedbacks and guitar overtones like constructing the three dimensional architecture. The remarkable point of this 3 track hour of suit is that this album totally transcends our usual sense of time. Like feeling a minute & a second like infinity, and feeling 60 minutes & 3600 seconds like moment...... this transcending sense can be described as the sense of liberation from material and life through music. So first of all, let's experience this album and expose the lies of our "given life". At last, as many may already know, the vocalist Hevi and guitarist Talbot left the group after recording of this album and 17 years of activities since 1994. Now CORRUPTED has a new singer Taiki (ex- FREEDOM, DIABOLIC ART) stepping forward to another unknown level. Like inviting us to another garden of unconsciousness...

Although not really an album, Alcest's re-recorded version of their first EP The Secret is very good

I wonder how many 2011 reviews I've done... counting PA reviews, I must be over 100!

I know that I've done exactly 50 reviews for albums that were 4+ stars... and most of my ratings are lower than that. I'm going to have to find out the exact number ASAP! LOL

I've had way more positive reviews this year than I did last year. That may have something to do with the fact I'm writing more this year though but last year only two albums made into 5 star territory for me. This year I have seven and I still have the new DT, Opeth, Haken and Anubis Gate releases to come.

I wanted to ask some of you guys about all the reviews you have done for 2011 releases. Now, you can tell me to go to hell as it's really none of my business but I'm curious how some of you guys have so many releases from this year. Do the artists send you CD promo copies? Send you digital files? All in exchange for a review of an album? Or do you purchase the music, either it be on CD or digitally? Or maybe free downloads from the artist's website, myspace, facebook, etc? I've noticed some members have done many reviews (a dozen or more) on a weekly basis, of course some of them older releases. A small fortune if one is buying CD's.
