Hell yeah, that is definitely on top 10. Don't know why I forgot out that one, I think I have listened to it so much I forgot it was released this year.

Guess I shouldn't say "hell yeah" as their album this year blew chunks lol

Overkill - The Electric Age

You can name all the bands you want. The list is comprised of albums I actually listened to this year.

I cannot review and rank albums I haven't listened to. And unless you are willing to start buying my music for me, I buy what I can.

Spend 9 bucks a month and you can listen to virtually every new release on spotify...and yes it's legal. To use money as a reason you haven't listened to more music in 2012 is quite comical...even more so than saying Geoff Tate's solo album is a top 10 album of the year

If you have enough money to get Internet to post on this here forum you have enough for spotify, YouTube, and all if the other legal outlets...not to mention the countless "illegal" ones
