Devin Townsend's Ghost and Decon are release June 21. Both have leaked. Unexpect was released last Tuesday
 
My sig is my abbreviated list. Here is my full
 
1. Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire 9.4
2. Grayceon - All We Destroy 8.9
3. Korekyojinn - Tundra 8.1
4. Between the Buried and Me - Parallax 7.9
5. Grails - Deep Politics - 7.7
6. Phideaux - Snowtorch - 7.6
7. Make A Rising - New I Feeling 7.2
8. Scale the Summit - The Collective 7.1
9. Fen - Epoch 4.1
10. Decemberists 3.0
 
The top 8 are all excellent albums and the top 6 would have made or perhaps eclipsed my top 5 from 2010. Top 2 this year already better than everything 2010 had to offer, and at least one more will qualify there.
 
 
I've heard a fair bit of Devin Townsend's two albums and they've been my most anticipated of the year. Decon will likely make my top 5 of the year. Ghost we'll see, I haven't heard enough of it yet.
 
I'm very excited about Opeth. Also somewhat less Symphony X. Who knows on DT.
 
What little I've heard of the new Ulver didn't do much for me. I am interested in the new Mogwai.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

This is the anti-disappointment thread. I think 2011 got off to a slow start, but a lot of albums have come out and many more are on the way. I love the albums I have so far, and can't wait to hear more new music. This year is shaping up to be as good as 2009, maybe better. Every album Ive heard from that year (either during, or after the year ended) has become my favorite album at some point, and the same thing is happening in 2011. That didn't always happen in 2010, so somebody's doing something right Wink

So let's discuss why 2011 is a great year for music so far....

Now I don't know EVERY album that's coming out or is out, but this original post can be a guide to 2011 albums to those who want to know what's out. Add albums by bands/artists and I will update this post.
