Hmm, thought Ghost's album came out in 2011 and it didn't, I just didn't hear it until January. Well damn, that's my favorite from last year then.

So I'll go with Opeth- Heritage

Quite a number of albums I picked up this year that have kicked my butt do NOT have a 2011 release date.

Metal master Number of posts : 823 Age : 36

I haven't been able to hear lots of new stuff this year, since I've mostly been playing catch up after having just gotten into so many bands with extensive back catalogs. So far though I would rank my 2011 albums like this:

1. Mastdon - The Hunter: Blew me away. This definitely has my number one slot.
2. Opeth - Heritage: Very different, but like every other Opeth album it has grown on me.

.....and that's seriously all the 2011 releases I've bought this year.

Ghost was released in October, 2010 in Europe, but didn't get U.S. distribution till Jan. '11. So you can count it for this year if you want. I won't tell anyone.

The latest Foo Fighters is gonna be a top contender for me as well.

More "progressive rock" than metal, but my album of the year is:

OPETH - HERITAGE

No other album I've heard even comes close to this one in how much I've enjoyed it. I've literally played it almost every day since it came out and I'm not even the slightest bit tired of it. In fact it's probably my favorite record in the past few years.

I really need to get a physical copy of that. All I've got now is a 57 minute YouTube video to watch. Razz

That's mine right now as well. Have you heard Tsjuder's new one? I haven't had the chance.

I'll compose a list at some point. But, I need still need to give more listens to some releases.
