Beyond the Bridge - The Old Man & The Spirit (LOVE)
Suspyre - Suspyre (LOVE)
Circus Maximus - Nine (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Sonata Arctica - When Stones Grow Her Name (Love - more respect to that band than ever IMO)
Affector - Harmagedon (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Flying Colors (um...sad face to that one)
Hemina - Synthetic (haven't quite decided what I think)
Dreamscape - Everlight (there are songs I really like and others I'm kinda meh about)
Status Minor - Ouroboros (kind of the same as above - a couple songs that blew me away)
Xandria - Neverworld's End (pretty darn cool)
Juggernaut - All Too Human (definitely like, not quite up to love...yet)
Fringe Kitchen - Unwritten Pages (I think I might love this one...not sure yet)

Pretty good year so far for Progressive Metal, I'll say.

Oh, and how could I forget:
Epica - Requiem For the Indifferent (lots of stars from me to that one too)

Yup, I'm having a good year.  In more ways than one!

Borknagar - Urd (4.5*)
Flying Colors - Flying Colors (4*)

Syn Ze Şase Tri - Sub Semnul Lupului (4*)
Nachtvorst - Silence (4*)
Carach Angren - Where the Corpses Sink Forever (4.5*)
Order of Nine - Seventh Year of the Broken Mirror (4*)

I have also heard most of Summoning the Bygones by Bilocate but couldn't get through it in a single sitting. Probably 2* at most for that one at the moment.

You all laughed at me when I made an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of my 2012 listens, but who's laughing now?! Evil Smile Geek

Overkill The Electric Age 5
Hour of Penance Sedition 5
Veil of Maya Eclipse 4.5
Xandria Neverworld's End 4.5
Primal Fear Unbreakable 4
Kreator  Phantom Antichrist 4
Psycroptic The Inherited Repression 3.5
Vengeance Crystal Eye 3.5
Spawn of Possession Incurso 3
Unisonic Unisonic 3
Sonata Arctica Stones Grow Her Name 3
Lethian Dreams Season of Raven Words 2.5
Freedom Call Land of the Crimson Dawn 2


Those are the metal albums which I've listened to enough to give a rating to (and they copied over quite nicely!).  As for the ones I haven't...that would probably take up a whole page.  If all goes well, I'll have a much bigger and better end-of-year list than I did for 2011, and hopefully I'll share the sentiments of my fellow collabs on more albums than I did last year.
