I buy fuck all albums these days, so I supoose I'll just have to list the ones I have bought this year.
Strapping Young Lad - Alien
Vanishing Point - Embrace the Silence
Surely there was another one? I bought the latest Megadeth this year, but it's dated 2004 on the back of it. Hmmmm....

It's damn good,eh? The riffing in particular is first rate, I can see it making my Top 10 come the end of the year.
Nevermore- This Godless Endeavor- Damn near faultless- Steve Smyth seems to have given them an extra edge, and Loomi's fret abuse is out of this world!
Dark Tranquillity- Character- One of the best albums they've done, simple as that.
Spiritual Beggars- Demons. This arrived with NO promotion or hype- I had no diea they even had a new album out and I'm a huge fan of em'. Killer 70's style Hard Rock meets Stoner Rock- blistering solos, killer melodies and a vocalist that sounds like Chris Cornell on his best day! Needless to say, this gets constant airplay anyway.
Strapping Young Lad- Alien- A step-up in every department from the self-titled record.
And I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting as well.
Blitzkrieg
Master Exploder
Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama, Judas Priest - Angel Of Retribution, Fozzy - All That Remains, Dark Tranquility - Character, and Grave Digger - The Last Supper are all duking it out for third spot on my list. All great solid albums, but none are awesome like Enemy Of God or Touched By The Crimson King.
New Darkane is that good then eh? I have been meaning to pick up Rusted Angel for ages, but it isn't exactly easy to come by. Maybe I will give the new one a go sometime then. Pity I have so much other new shit on my list. What a year for new releases.

I have gotten alot of stuff this year, I can't remember that much of it though, Bruce's effort is a corker though
I haven't even heard it all, but from the tracks I have heard by FAR the best stuff I have heard come out this yearis:
Zan Clan - We Are Zan Clan, Who The Fuck Are You?
It's the ex-Shotgun Messiah singer Zinny Zan's band, and basically sounds exactly like the first Shotgun album which is in my all time top 10 albums so it's no wonder I'm so excited about what I've heard off this gem!
Other picks:
Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
Wednesday 13 - Transylvania 90210
Wig Wam - Hard To Be A Rock & Roller In Kiev
And the album I am most anticipating and hoping will be my pick for album of the year (and hoping it does come out this year!), is PAUL STANLEY's new solo album!!!!! Co-written by Desmond Child!!! The people who have heard the tracks have raved about it, saying it's classic Stanley/Child - pop edged hard rock with Paul singing like a rock god!
Also looking forward to Black N Blue - Hell Yeah! if it ever comes out, as well as The Deadthings - Who Killed Holly Would? which is sounding killer from the rough mixes.

I have to admit I'm really looking forward to the new Brides of Destruction album. Tracii reckons it sounds like the last LA Guns album, which was awesome, so it should rule.
