#6 and #12 are a must. Good list though!

Misplaced Childhood is one of the most emotional albums I've ever heard, I can guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Thumbs up for Angizia and Nocte Obducta! 2 of my all-time favourites, you won't regret it

Try 5 every month, now that's a challenge

I did listen to close to 150 of the metal releases of last year.

This list is to remind myself to look at the good things in past releases. If I have to keep with this year's output I unfortunately have to neglect the past a bit ^^

no it's not cause that means you'd only listen to 60 releases in a year. And that is not much at all.

Angizia, Summoning, Disembowelment, Windir, Helloween,...

Well, It's only been 3 / 4 years since I'm listening to metal "seriously". I cannot know all the classics ^^

Marillion definitely, that's probably my fav album of theirs.

Then how many is much?

I've listened to five new releases today. I mean old releases I haven't heard before. That's nearing the limit of my attention span.

Good picks, need to hear that Summoning myself.

Don't concern yourself with what others think is a lot or not a lot. Some people are fine with five albums a month and find it challenging enough, others listen to 50 albums a month and find it as challenging as the ones listening to five.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's all about enjoying the music. Personally, I need at least 6 spins to catch a riff or two, which makes it hard for me to really get more than 10-20 albums loved (And that's only in the summer, I can't listen that much in school days.), but I'm ready to do it as long as the albums give me eargasms at the end.
