What's your album of the year?

Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland
Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Cobalt - Gin
Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions

my top 5
 
plenty of great releases came out this year, like the 5 I mentioned above (and then some), no 10/10s like 2007 had but close enough.
 
Sunn O))) - Monoliths and Dimensions
Paramore - Brand New Eyes
Master Musicians of Bukkake - Totem One
 
Skyforger- Amorphis
The Echo Verses- The Arusha Accord
Crack the Skye- Mastodon
Hollow Crown- Architects

Those are my favorites of what's in my media player

Joe
 
crack the skye is pretty much the only one that I thought was absolutely awesome.

honorable mentions go to devil driver, alice in chains (only for production) an d Devin Townsend.

Non metal kudos to the new Biffy Clyro too.
 
i just want to hear some more ludicrous solos that sound like what would happen if you gave a downs syndrome kid a g-major and a floyd rose
and nile ripoff riffs too
im sure the wait will be worth it
