I make it a point to listen to everything I read of in the many magazines I purchase on a weekly basis. This was a crappy year compared to last year. I may have listened to approximately 350 albums. I only find a handful that I can truely appreciate.
JR - What is your obsession with Mariah Carey? Each time she's on a list you have to make some comment about how it's a bad list or how it will be the only list she appears on. Who cares? What does that matter to your life?
oh, i can't believe this, Metallica "Death Magnetic" 4th?
i'm a true headbanger, and i can say that this isn't the best metal album of the year, in my opinion "Death Magnetic" is a bad album. In my opinion the best metal album of the year so far is: Ayreon - 01011001. This is not very heavy, maybe you, from the forum, would like it, full of great melodies and some of the best metal singer nowadays.
