The Second Law by Muse was great. Soundgarden's new album is really cool too.

Harakiri disappointed me as well.

EX Ovi should launch
Periphery - Periphery II
BTBAM - Parralax II
Heart of a coward - Hope & Hinderance
Meshuggah - Koloss
The story so far - Under soil and dirt

The faceless is probably my most dissapointing album of the year, or Tony danza tapdance extraviganza, i enjoy both albums alot, but expected more from both.
 
I heard mixed things about immortals, but then I listened to it and I still love that band for what they do haha. Not a Christian at all btw lol, but I respect the hell outa those guys for standing up for what they believe in and making awesome music. I also really liked veil of Maya's New one, but that came out like a month before koloss so I wasn't focused on it haha.
Dude For Today has the potential to be possibly the best metal right now, but if they would get off that preaching shit. I honestly think that's what is holding them back lol. Like really, go to one of their shows, and they'll spend a good 5 minutes talking about their savior lol.

I've been to three of them haha. They are awesome live, it's no different than going to see the Acacia Strain and listening to them get really Nihilistic on everyone's ass. The only difference is that it's "dark and brutal" so metalheads don't care haha.
smokey That is how I have felt about As I Lay Dying's last couple of albums.

I really enjoyed Flying Lotus' new album. Arctic Monkey's released an album last year but I didn't end up getting it until this year so I'll count that too.



What were you expecting? It's Slipknot. They've been pretty awful for years now.
I didn't even know Arctic Monkey's had a new release, I'm going to have to check that out. Also, every Slipknot album is awesome fuck that. However I will admit that after Iowa it deteriorated a little.

You are purely insane sir...that is all :p
I liked some parts of it, i just think theres too much beating around the bush and sections of pointless noises which i ended up skipping through to get back into the brutal shreddiness that i love about the album, kind of hit or miss for me im afraid.

Well actually that I understand, it did have a lot of background going on with it and little intermissions that were a little long.

Call me a genre nazi if you want but I find it disrespectful to death metal when people confuse it with deathcore.

That's not to say I don't dig some deathcore or metalcore groups though
I'm in the same boat actually lol, which sucks because I live in a really core heavy scene with few metal bands.

Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid M.A.A.D City

He's a very dope lyricist

lupe's food and liquor 2 and immortal technique's the martyr didnt live up to the hype if you asked me but were both still good.

I like more than 5 songs that are non-singles, so I consider that a great album.

Lupe has always been the man!

idk what to think of this guy though some of his stuff is whack, he raps ultra repetitive and sometimes he's amazing. kendrick that is.

I'm somewhat disappointed with the new Dethklok album. It's solid but nothing stands out as awesome after the first hearing.
thats disappointing... 2 was not as good as 1 in my opinion so its safe to say they are on a decline?
