First half of the year: post your top albums so far

[Kazar]

We've just passed the halfway point of the year, so which albums stood out to you so far?

These are the ones to me:
1. Chaos Divine - The Human Connection (Great album - I'm not into 'cookie-monster-vocals' but the normal singing melodies are way in the majority and they are simply fantastic)
2. ReinXeed - 1912
3. Turisas - Stand up and Fight
4. Lost in Thought - Opus Arise
5. Pagan's Mind - Heavenly Ecstacy
6. Within Temptation - The Unforgiving
7. Symphony X - Iconoclast (has grown a bit recently)

Bands (with a new album later this year) that I expect to enter my year-list are:
Dream Theater
Dragonland
Redemption

I'm curious as well for new albums from:
Leprous
Illusion Suite
Edguy (maybe they'll surprise us)

wooo, you're a fine listener Kazar, very nice choice, that record is wonderful, though just a few persons know that talented aussie band

Glad you like them as well, Frankgate!
I hope Chaos Divine will be one of the two remaining bands that will be announced for ProgPower Europe 2011.
