We are coming to the end of the year and it is doubtful that any album of substance is going to be released until after the New Year, unless you think the new Chevelle record coming out in a couple of weeks is going to be a classic.
So it is now time to choose your album of the year. You may want to elaborate on why it is your album of the year if you wish and maybe bestow upon us an example of why it has kicked your arse. Out of the 80+ albums that I have bought this year, only 9 were actually released this year, and then only 2 really stood out to me. They were: Kuniko Kato's Plays Reich and the Yo-Yo Ma/Stuart Duncan/Edgar Meyer/Chris Thile collaborative album, The Goat Rodeo Sessions. For me the latter won out; it grabbed me from the opening refrain and didn't let go until the end. Top notch musicians at their best. Try and keep the "honourable mentions" to a minimum; I know that some of you are incapable of making a decision. Shoot! ![]() ![]() |

Era Extrana by Neon Indian was amazing, Reptilians by Starfucker blew my mind... but for me, so far it's been: Hurry Up, We're Dreaming by M83.
To break down, my top 5 would be: 1) M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming 2) Starfucker - Reptilians 3) Neon Indian - Era Extrana 4) Friendly Fires - Pala 5) Sophie Ellis Bexter - Make a Scene Going to see M83 in January too, my first gig in ages. |

Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events.
Would have to say Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning is a very very close second though. Occupying 3,4,5 would probably be Neal Morse - Testimony 2 The Anabasis - Back From Being Gone Stratovarius - Elysium |

Okay, since others have done more than one:
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events Symphony X - Iconoclast Andromeda - Manifest Tyranny Arch/Matheos - Sympathetic Resonance Neal Morse - Testimony 2 Transatlantic - More Never is Enough: Live in London and Tilburg 2010 Megadeth - Th1rt3en Glass Hammer - Cor Cordium Iced Earth - Dystopia Stratovarius - Elysium That's roughly my top ten from this year, but probably not exactly in this order. |

I have heard zero of those. Out of the 75-ish on the list I've heard of maybe 12 of the artists.
Damn I'm out of touch. |
