[SomewhereInTime72]

Well here's my top 5 for the year so far. Why do a top 10 halfway through the year, if statistically probably only 5 will meet end-year top 10 requirements

1. Anathema - Weather Systems
2. Overkill - The Electric Age
3. Kreator - Phantom Antichrist
4. Rush - Clockwork Angels
5. Pilgrim - Misery Wizard

That's out of 19 albums I've heard that I liked so far. But excluding St. Vitus, Candlemass, and Gojira, whose new albums I've sadly failed to get around to giving a proper listening to yet.

[IrritatedTrout]

My top whatever I've listened to.

1. Rush - Clockwork Angels
2. Carrie Underwood - Blown Away
3. Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick 2
4. Lamb of God - Resolution
5. Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
6. Metallica - Beyond Magnetic

Nothing has really blown me away besides Rush. Still looking forward to Testament, Agalloch, Kiss, Baroness, and I still need to hear Blaze Bayley.

1. You Give What You Get - The Ghost Inside (will be within top 3 this year)
2. Ex Lives - Every Time I Die
3. Whitechapel - Whitechapel
4. Resoultion - Lamb Of God
5. Immortal - For Today

Okay, I've been out of the metal loop for a while. What are some good dark, doomy, post-y, proggy, folky, obscure shit that I'd like? Faustian Echoes was pretty sweet. Anything kind of similar to that that came out so far this year?
