Just a humble list of albums released this year that I found really enjoyable. There is no real order in here, as it's too hard for me to decided which album deserve, e.g., a 1st place and which - a 13th. So... Just listen to all these good pieces of music and enjoy!

1.Septicflesh - The Great Mass

2.Opeth - Heritage

3.Pain Of Salvation - Road Salt Two

4.Primordial - Redemption At The Puritan's Hand

5.Riverside - Memories In My Head

A (most probably incomplete) list of albums on which I really enjoy only a single song (in alphabetical order, excluding one-track albums).
They turn out to be albums that I rate a 6 or 7 overall -- with few exceptions.
The songs mentioned though are all-time favourites, which I would rate at 9 or 10.
I only listed albums on which I found exactly one such song.

1.Agalloch - Pale Folklore

2.Amorphis - Far From The Sun

3.Annihilator - Set The World On Fire

4.Asphyx - The Rack

5.Bathory - Blood Fire Death

A list ranking the Iced Earth studio recordings. I didn't put Tribute To The Gods in the list because I wanted the list to be about Iced Earth's own original work.

Also Days Of Purgatory is also not added to the list since that album was mostly a re-recording of their older songs.

And I added the 3 best songs (imo) of every album in the list as well.

1.Iced Earth - The Dark Saga

2.Iced Earth - Night Of The Stormrider

3.Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings

4.Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked - Part 1)

5.Iced Earth - Horror Show
