I am fairly open-minded (as you should be), so expect any genre in here, though metal is definitely my favorite. However, I usually won't bother to review non-metal releases unless it's one of the extremes - really good, or really bad and I feel like trashing it.
Keep in mind, I am rating these albums as a whole, not judging it based on the quality of particular songs. For example, if there are no songs that stand out as good, but the album is a concept album that reveals to me the meaning of life through music, it would probably be #1. Production is a BIG part of my review process as well, it's 2010 so I want my albums to sound futuristic, refined and shiny!
Top 10 in order, rest of categories are alphabetical.
" ...dissapointment" Where albums I really wanted did not meet or exceed expectations.
bold is a must-listen!!
And please comment, either to debate my reviews or to recommend me albums I don't know about!
