2011 Recommendations

Wow, it's May 2nd, I've purchased a total of fifteen CDs and mp3 albums so far this year, but nothing released in 2011. That ends tomorrow when I buy the new Sixx: A.M. album. Also I've pre-ordered the new Demonaz solo album.

Does anyone have any other 2011 release year recommendations?

Albums from 2011 you need to buy TODAY are the new CAULDRON, the RALF SCHEEPERS solo album, the new TOKYO BLADE, KING KOBRA and if you are into black/death the new BELPHEGOR album.

Uh... Stryper's THE COVERING. Why? Cuz that's the only '11 disc I've gotten so far, so it's all I can recommend.

HAVOK - Time Is Up

How did I forget about the new Tokyo Blade CD, I've heard it and it is very good! I've also listened to the new Cauldron, at the time, it didn't grab me, but I'll check it out again, and while I'm at it, I'll check out the new King Kobra and Ralf Scheepers. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. I like Stryper so it's on the list, but a covers album is a low priority for me.

Yup. I was about to recommend Helloween's 7 SINNERS but then I remembered that it came out in 2010. Frickin' economy biting into my CD habit! I'm so far behind on sheeeeeit!!



Sorry. As you were.

These aren't out yet, but when they hit I'm going to be all over them:

UNISONIC- debut

U.D.O.- Rev-Raptor

No problem , also the new THE RODS, WARRANT and BLACK´N´BLUE can be good, lets wait. Also STAMPEDE from the UK that released a cool album 25 years ago just released a new album. The samplers sounded good.

Havok-Time Is Up
Assassin-Breaking the Silence
Heathendom-Symbolist

I haven't gotten a single new release this year yet either. The new Sodom is the most recently released album I've purchased

While my overall cd purchases have been up this year, 2011 releases have been a little slow. That being said, I'd recommend:

Ghost - Opus Eponymous
Foo Fighters - Wasting Light (if you're a fan)
Beady Eye - Different Gear, Still Speeding (if you like Oasis)

The new Motorhead left me a little flat honestly. Not bad, but nothing that flipped my wig back. Cauldon's not bad either, but I gotta spend some more time with that one.

What's that? Based on the artwork it looks like something I'd hate.
