Here is my top 50 of 2011. Albums rated 8+

In 2011, I started my second MS account after losing the first to the discontinuation of my Uni email address.

Top albums in no particular order. The first decade of the new millenium turned out to be a good one for Viking music! I realize Nightwish might be a controversial entry, but their (pre-Annette) music can invoke the inner Norseman in me!

1.Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

2.Ensiferum - Victory Songs

3.Falkenbach - Tiurida

4.Finntroll - Jaktens Tid

5.Finntroll - Ur Jordens Djup

2.Devin Townsend - Deconstruction

3.Lifelover - Sjukdom
