High on Fire-Snakes for the Divine
Foetus-Hide
Janelle Monáe-ArchArachnoid
Black Tambourine-S/T
Four Tet-There is Love in You
Deftones-Diamond Eyes Some will probably get on my back for this and say "A Nu Metal band? Really?" Well personally, I never thought that Deftones fit that description-they are too melodic for that label, as well as the fact that they have a great frontman and aren't afraid to experiment. In short, they don't suck. Anyways, this is a great album, with "Sextape", "Beauty School" and "976-EVIL" being highlights.
Grinderman-Grinderman 2

Let down by

Burzum sorry :(
Borknagar
Massive Attack
Темнозорь
The Dillinger Escape Plan I can't put my finger on it, but this album doesn't blow me away. I don't hate it-I'm just not wowed like everyone else seems to be.
Orphaned Land
Ikiunen Kaamos-Granted, I wasn't impressed by their other albums, but still.
Celestiial
Blood of the Black Owl
Ov Hell
Island
Immolation
The Ocean Musically it's decent-it's just hurt considerably by some very weak singing that get's on my nerves. Oh, and the song "Ptolemy Was Wrong" is a contender for worst song of the year IMO. I guess what I'm trying to say is that "decent" and "weak" are not words that should be connected to such a band, but here it does sadly.
Airs
