If you're like me and can't sit still with just one or two genres, perhaps you'll find some ideas in this list. I kept the variety with genres, but also by including all worthy bands from unknown newcomers all the way up to big names. Basically, everything I liked this year.

Since there are so many genres here, don't get too worked up about specific rating and placement. They're generally in order, but more importantly they're all amazing.

1.Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy - Návaz

2.Fair To Midland - Arrows & Anchors

3.Autumn - Cold Comfort

4.Shadowside - Inner Monster Out

5.40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

In order roughly, by the number of spins. A lot = A LOT. So when I give ten more spins to the rest of the albums I've listened to, and forgot to rate most probably, this will grow larger. Or not. I'm making this for me anyway.

1.Subsignal - Touchstones

2.Symphony X - Iconoclast

3.Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

4.Pain Of Salvation - Road Salt Two

5.Iced Earth - Dystopia

1.Insomnium - One For Sorrow

2.Wolverine - Communication Lost

3.Thence - These Stones Cry From The Earth

4.TesseracT - One

5.Autumn - Cold Comfort

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

3.Havok - Time Is Up

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
