The best albums of the year.

Well the year will be closing in a few weeks so I thought I'd post this topic to see what everyone listened to this year and what was the best in their opinion. Heres mine:

 

 

- Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (Nothing topped this album for me. Already a classic in my mind.)

- Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume 2: No World for Tomorrow (This was my introduction to this band and what a great introduction.)

- Rush - Snakes and Arrows (Took awhile to grow on me but it was overall a great album.)

- Blackfield - Blackfield II (A Steven Wilson side project, thats more melodic and less experimental sounding than Porcupine Tree but its great.)

- Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes (A live album but its so f*cking good that I'm including it on my list.)

 

 

 

Other mentionables that I have nothing to say about:

 

- Radiohead - In Rainbows

- Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon

- HORSE the Band - A Natural Death

- King Diamond - Give Me Your Soul...Please

- The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works

- Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos

- Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying

 

This list is not final exactly. There might be some others that come to my head.

I probably haven't listened to enough albums released this year for my vote to count but Shugo Tokumaru's most recent, Exit, was awesome.

Vanilla Shake

Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris

Radiohead - In Rainbows

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

 

That about sums it up for me.

 

And yeah, I believe Sam's Town by The Killers was 2006. Their new one is a compilation album called Sawdust.

Army of the Pharaohs - Ritual of Battle

I listened to this album and only a few tracks in and I was impressed. Probably my only one of the year that actually impressed me.

That's it. Nothing else is close.
