nice pick, i forgot that came out this year. definitely check out dial m for monkey if you haven't already, it's his best stuff IMO...or animal magic.

I really liked Big Boi's album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty and Bruce Springsteen's The Promise. There was a ton of good stuff this year - Eminem, The Roots, Kanye, B.o.B, and Kid Cudi. wstfld

You disappoint me in supporting new ATR

One of these

SAGE_OF_FIRE

Great selection.

Also gonna chuck this in. This makes music fun again.

Sound Awake from Karnivool. It was technically released in 2009 but was not released in the States until the beginning of this year. Best album I've heard in a long, long time.

It's so hard to compare but I think if I had to order them it would be: Marrow of the Spirit > The White > The Mantle > Pale Folklore > Ashes They're all pretty much incomparable though. It depends on my mood and solely my mood (though I am convinced that Marrow is definitely their best work)

Really hard for me. Really really hard. But it took this album awhile to click with me, but when it clicked, it clicked.

Possibly the best death metal album I've heard.

Couldn't tell since i haven't heard any of those albums, however, this isn't about Album of the Year, is about what did you enjoy the most this year, doesn't matter if it is Lady Gaga or Ensiferum.

madsnakehhh

Would you not consider the album you enjoyed the most as your "album of the year?"

Yep, so it's a personal choice, that's why i don't have any right to criticized the choice of other people by calling them bad albums, even if they were bad by my standards but it was good for them.

All I was stating was my lack of understanding as to why people like those two albums. Then I went on to say that they are bad in my opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. Is that such a crime? It's not like I was stating it as a fact or anything.

I haven't heard a 2010 album lol. But if there's one album worth mentioning I bought this year it's definitely Led Zeppelin.

Other Worthy Competitors:

A day at the races

2112

Dean Martin

Frank Sintatra

LostProphetFLCL

They STILL haven't freaking released that album here in the States....

Anyways, I forgot an ablum when I posted earlier:

Mind-blowingly good debut album right here. This band is definitely one to watch out for. Best metal band to debut in quite some time IMO.

If you haven't checked it out yet, listen to this and this.

Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys. - My Chemical Romance. :]

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Recovery

Man on the Moon II

Thank Me Later

Fair enough then, is just that at first it seemed that you were criticizing their choices.

Heligoland by Massive Attack (2010) or + (Cross) by Justice (2007).

I understand how it could've been construed as such. All I can say to people who liked A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park and Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold is that they go back and listen to some of their older stuff. I know that makes me sound very snarky and elitist, but it's very much the case with those two bands. Nothing will ever touch "Hybrid Theory" & "Meteora" by Linkin Park. Same goes for "City of Evil" by Avenged Sevenfold.

[QUOTE="BodyElite"]1. Eminem "Recovery" 2. Avenged Sevenfold "Nightmare" 3. T.I. "No Mercy"hockey73

I didnt hear tip's new album... I'm listening to "teflon don" now but I'm going to throw "no mercy" on

Gotta add this one into the mix

SO GOOD.

Not asgood as their first 2 albums but this is my vote. It's a great album
