The only reason that this is a top 14 is that this is the number of albums from 2011 that I've heard thus far. Aside from my top 7 or so, I found this year to be a bit disappointing overall.

1.Iced Earth - Dystopia

2.Machine Head - Unto The Locust

3.Scar Symmetry - The Unseen Empire

4.Draconian - A Rose For The Apocalypse

5.Opeth - Heritage
