Favorite Albums By My Favorite Bands
I picked one album by each of my favorite bands for this list. Keep in mind that after the first few albums I put on the list, it became increasingly difficult to figure out where to place artists in my list. Also, this is kind of how my favorite bands lie now, as far as how often I listen to them - whereas some of these bands used to be much more frequently played, years ago. But this is, more or less, a list of my favorite albums by my favorite bands. |
1.
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory | |
2.
Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape | |
3.
Symphony X - The Odyssey | |
4.
Circus Maximus - Nine | |
5.
Haken - Visions |

2011 Suggestions For The Eclectic Metalhead
If you're like me and can't sit still with just one or two genres, perhaps you'll find some ideas in this list. I kept the variety with genres, but also by including all worthy bands from unknown newcomers all the way up to big names. Basically, everything I liked this year.
Since there are so many genres here, don't get too worked up about specific rating and placement. They're generally in order, but more importantly they're all amazing. |
1.
Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy - Návaz | |
2.
Fair To Midland - Arrows & Anchors | |
3.
Autumn - Cold Comfort | |
4.
Shadowside - Inner Monster Out | |
5.
40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room |

2011: Favourite To Least
Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so will increase in size. Also, not entirely in order, middle order mainly just an approximation. |
1.
Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth | |
2.
Protest The Hero - Scurrilous | |
3.
Infestus - E x I s t | |
4.
Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times | |
5.
Ouroboros - Glorification Of A Myth |
