Fave album of the year?

[mike_jmg]

Reflexion - Dead To The Past, Blind For Tomorrow

First song

[jamotto]

That able sucks horribly, I love GnR but that is horrible

Even though they break the GnR "sound" it is a good thing! The band is much better off and this album shows it. This is GnR at their best.

Really?

All it is, is Axel and some retards off the street playing, where the hell is Slash (I know he is in velvet revolver)

My point is that it isn't GnR, its just Axel & Friends, and it sucks compared to any of there other albums

My two favorite bands have done $#@! this year (Metallica and Trivium).

Those are my favorite bands too, and....

Shame on you!(for not liking the albums)

They are crap.

I'm a old school Trivium fan (ETI days) and I like the old Metallica albums (... And Justice for All, ftw?).

I watched Trivium when they werent really big, and it owned. I watched them recently and laughed.

Never seen Metallica, seeing them in march.

I didn't think 'Shogun' was too shabby - decent enough, but I prefer 'Ascendency'. Not heard 'Death Magnetic'. Is it really that bad? Personal fave would be '...Puppets' if that helps as a reference but I also really like the Black one too.

Best album of the year...When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That S**t Gold - Atmosphere. or Untitled by NaS

[TacticalBread]

I don't think any band I like put a good album out this year.

The Offspring's new album is alright.

so that's my album of the year.

[souLLy]

Metallica's CD was alright but the mastering is so bad on it it's virtually unlistenable- it literally sounds like a 64kbps MP3 to me

For me it's got to be "Strength in Numbers" by The Music. I find myself listening to it an awful lot.

YES. The Music are bloody brilliant, and they were exactly who I was thinking of when opening the thread. A pleasant surprise giving how criminally underrated they are.

The Left Side, Drugs and No Danger (hidden instrumental) are my favourites. It's a lot more dance-influenced when compared to their earlier work, don't you think?

Glasvegas' self-titled would probably be my runner-up, but I realise they're not everyone's cuppa.
