Not sure what you mean. There's been a bunch of great albums imo. Behemoth, Mastodon, Epica, Vader, Sabaton, Cannibal Corpse, Septic Flesh, and hopefully a worthy Bloodbath one

I think I listen to 0 albums from this year.
Looks like Bloodbath, Ath The Gates and Decapitated will be highlights.

New Vanhelgd didn't convince me like Church of Death did, hardly ever find myself playing it. Rather poor year as far as new music goes for me also so far..
Still looking forward to: At the Gates, Bloodbath & Stench.

I want new Opeth in old style, new Decapitated in old form, new Meshuggah, new Swallow The Sun, new Draconian, new Hypocrisy, new Samael, new Ghost. I dunno. I feel kind of blown out on metal for the moment.
I want technical death with groove and good vocals, no fucking pigs or grunts, there is so much shitty tech death out there its overwhelming.
