 Topic: 2011 - An Excellent Year So Far...Posted: June 03 2011 at 02:19 |
|

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
 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. Purple = Released Blue = Unreleased 2011 Albums: Afuche - Highly Publicised Digital Boxing Al DiMeola - Pursuit of Radical Rhapsody Altar of Plagues- Mammal Battles - Glodd Drop Between the Buried and Me- The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues Beardfish - Mammoth Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Rocket Science Cheer Accident - No Ifs, Ands, or Dogs Credo- Against Reason Devin Townsend - Deconstruction Enslaved- The Sleeping Gods (free to download EP) Fen- Epoch Gosta Berlings Saga - Glue Works Grails- Deep Polotics Grayceon- All We Destroy Gutbucket - Flock King Crimson ProjeKts - A Scarcity Of Miracles Led Bib - Bring Your Own Magic Pie - The Suffering Joy Mastodon- Live at the Aragon Moonsorrow- Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa My Dying Bride- Evinta Neal Morse - Testimony 2 Obscura- Omnivium Paatos- Breathing Pallas- XXV Pendragon - Passion Phideaux - Snowtorch Protest the Hero- Scurrilous Riverside - Memories In My Head The Tangent- Going Off on Two Tarar Lamb II- Polyimage of Known Exits Ulver- War of the Roses Uriah Heep - Into the Wild Van Der Graad Generator - A Grounding In Numbers The Watch - Timeless Wobbler - Rites at Dawn Hiromi - Voice June 6 Sky Architect - A Dying Man's Hymn) June 6 The Dear Hunter - Color Spectrum June 13 Yes - Fly From Here June 13 Devin Townsend - Ghost and Decon June 21 Symphony X - Iconoclast June 21 Karmakanic July Opeth - Heritage September Dream Theater September Pain of Salvation September MMPLM Rush Derek Sherinian John Petrucci The Tangent OSI The Mars Volta Metallica Edited by darkshade - June 03 2011 at 12:28 |

Don't forget we have a new Sky Architect album (A Dying Man's Hymn) coming out in the next couple of weeks! I believe around June 7th or the 14th.

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. Edited by Negoba - June 03 2011 at 12:06 |

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.

Of the ones that I've heard so far three have been outstanding
1. Magic Pie : The Suffering Joy 2. Neal Morse : Testimony 2 3. Phideaux : Snowtorch Pendragon is a bit of grower. I didn't like it at first, but I'm coming around to it. I'm actually going to see Pendragon tomorrow, so maybe it will spark into life for me after I see them live The one's that I'm looking forward to that haven't come out yet would be Sky Architect and The Tangent. I'll certainly give Rush a listen, but the new Yes is just meh for me.

I bet the new Rush gets put off until early next year since they've extended their Time Machine Tour and they might re-record Caravan and BU2B, so I think a 2011 release is looking less likely.
And how are we classifying Amplifier's The Octopus? It came out in December for members of their website, but an actual wide release wasn't until 2011. Edited by MillsLayne - June 03 2011 at 12:24 |

I heard 'Fly' offa Ghost and I loved the hell out of it. Considering I liked Ki more than Ziltoid or Addicted, Ghost is my most anticipated prog album of the year (non-prog goes to Tom Waits' supposedly new album). Yeah, Opeth's on my mind. I'm hoping it's a full album of Harvest's, Isolation Years', Windowpane's, and Patterns in the Ivy's. Won't be, though. I never got into Symphony X in the first place, and DT lost me ever since Train of Thought.

I'll leave Rush, as a few bands have albums supposedly coming out this year, but there is no release date. |
