Best album of 2011

Thomas Giles - Pulse (pretty sure that was this year, right?)
Born of Osiris - The Discovery
A Plea For Purging - Life & Death Of

^ My three favorite this year so far.
 
Ok. After careful consideration, I'm going with Anthrax "Worship Music"

If for no other reason than I've waited 20 years to hear Belladonna make the rest of the band eat every and any negative comment they made about him during the JB years

On top of that the cd just delivers ... Really no weak sings, great production, great performances, and some really classic Anthrax moments throughout without being a fake attempt at sounding old school

This. :headbang:
 
Not a huge fan of the mixes on either, but musically my favorite releases were:
Animals As Leaders - Weightless
White Arms of Athena - Astrodama
 
O'Brother - Garden Window

Thrice - Major/Minor

Little Tybee - Humorous to Bees

Junius - Reports From The Threshold of Death

Animals As Leaders - Weightless

August Burns Red - Leveler
 
Opeth - Heritage
Avatar - Black Waltz
In Flames - Sounds of a Playground Fading
The Human Abstract - Digital Veil

I'm gonna have to check out the new Foo Fighters as it got a lot of votes here and I haven't heard it yet. Shame on me.
