the Hank III album was ok. the worst album this year that i heard was the new sammy hagar album. it sounds like a bunch of leftovers from previous albums and then it has a cover of "fight for your right to party" and the last track is a live version of "dreams/cabo wabo". its just horrid. literally the worst hagar release of his entire career

Metallica - Death Magnetic
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Avantasia - The Scarecrow

Massive whoooops. Drove 6 hours today from Victoria pumping TBE and realised when I was driving I didn't include FCOK in my list. Bad omission!!!! Def in my 5 despite my initial 'meh' on first couple of listens. Worlds on Fire is just epic.

lol he said los lonely boys

it appears you are the only person who thinks thats funny:Smug:

soory i like santana and they play the same thing as santana but without 50 other guest vocalists singing on the songs. i'm diverse and don't listen to just metal, which is good because a metal band hasn't released the best album of the year in a very long time

 

[Heavy Metal Rich]

In no order:

Inflikted - Cavalera Conspiracy
Conquer - Soulfly
Let There Be Blood - Exodus
Nostradamus - Judas Priest
D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. - Destruction

Its been a good year for thrash. Next year looks good too.

 

[Miltbrand]

1. Forest Of Shadows - Six Waves Of Woe
2. Funeral - As The Light Does The Shadow
3. Skepticism - Alloy
4. Mar De Grises - Draining The Waterheart
5. The Green Evening Requiem - Promo 2008

Runners up: Woods Of Ypres, Sculptured, Enslaved, Agalloch

I like everything posted, but my fav has to be of an obscure band called Straight Line Stitch. Saw their vid on HBB, found their CD at Best Buy and was blown away. Finally a metal band with a female singer who can convey anger and passion in screaming, not just "Hey I'm a chick and can scream". She completely blows away any male singer IMO, both with her screaming and GREAT clean voice. Just my fav, love Judas too and the new Testament...I have to see Testament live before I die, it must happen. Anxiously awaiting new Slayer, love Trivium too.
