2010 So Far

[larvtard]

Obsessed with the new Trash Talk. Some of the best hardcore I've heard recently

The new Blind Guardian single is sounding very promising!

That's good news, not that I expected it to be anything but good, but I'll check it out. Looking forward to the new album!

Lawless Darkness is definitely Top 5 material. Very solid album.

EDIT: Just listened to A Voice in the Dark. Sounds like a cross of the styles on Imaginations from the Other Side and A Twist in the Myth. And I think that is awesome.

Clockwork by Angelus Apatrida is definitely in the running for thrash album of 2010.

The new one by Korzus is great too.

I've only heard three albums from this year so my top three would be:

1. Ozzy - Scream
2. Scorpions - Sting in the Tail
3. Avantasia - The Wicked Symphony

Ozzy is great, the other two are good.

I still need to hear:

Blaze Bayley - Promise and Terror
High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine
Burzum - Belus
Avantasia - Angel of Babylon
Cynic - Re-Traced
Judas Priest - British Steel DVD and live album

Haha I figured I would get that reaction. I just can't listen to TWS without it getting somewhat boring after repeated listens. It's really good when I break it out every few weeks though.

I just don't know what to say. I think I like it more almost every time I listen to it, and aside from 2 questionable-ish tracks, I think they're all excellent songs. I think it's probably the best album of the entire trilogy. Slight notch above The Scarecrow. The title track is my "Song of the Year" thus far.
