There's been a ton of great new albums this year. Right now its 3rd, after Anglagard and Anathema. Other favorites are Echolyn, Joe Bonamassa, Flying Colors, and District 97.

I would put Storm Corrosion up there. That is some surreal shit cool10.gif

Its in my top 10 and it'll probably stay there.

The albums I've purchased this year are: Clockwork Angels - Rush, Long Live Heavy Metal - 3 Inches Of Blood, Rize Of The Fenix - Tenacious D, Fire From The Sky - Shadows Fall, A Eulogy For The Damned - Orange Goblin, Koloss - Meshuggah, Demonacracy - Job For A Cowboy, Blood For The Master - Goatwhore, Torture - Cannibal Corpse.

 

Clockwork Angels is definitely at the top of the list.

I'm looking at the new purchases I've made this year and Clockwork Angels is the best of the lot so far and the most played. There is a new Dead Can Dance album out next week, but I doubt it will top CA.

Yeah, it's my favorite right now. My top five of the year so far:

 

Rush - Clockwork Angels

Christian Mistress - Possession

Horisont - Second Assault

Baroness - Yellow & Green

Astra - The Black Chord

 

Still need that new Testament.

Definitely. Clockwork Angels and Storm Corrosion would be tops for me right now, with the new one by The Flower Kings just behind them. But we still have new ones this year coming out this year by Devin Townsend, Muse, Steven Wilson, Neal Morse, DMB, etc., so we still have a ways to go.

New Rush is always the album of the year. Even though there are released better albums that year, they are released by lesser bands. Nothing can beat the anticipation of a new Rush release. wink.gif

 

Regarding CA, it is by far the best album so far in the year.

 

There are other mentionable releases though:

Circus Maximus - Nine

Saga - 20/20

Arena - The Seventh Degree of Seperation (actually a very late 2011 release but I got it in 2012)

Dimension Act - Manifestation of Progress (a band from my homeplace that actually released quite a good album. Check this link: Dimension Act

 

 

And I am really looking forward to the new Marillion and the new Magnum.

CA all the way. Truthfully, I don't listen to that much new music any more. Bothering to check out new albums only happens if I get a decent listen to it on itunes.

Well, I don't listen to that much music, and have only heard 2 new albums this year:

 

Rock of Ages Soundtrack

Dee Does Broadway

 

Yes, I haven't heard CA yet - I tend to let others buy CD's for me at Xmas etc.

so i'll have to reserve judgement until I have heard more.

 

I'll get back to you in a couple of years time.
