RIP this journal. Here's the upcoming releases I actually care about:
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events
Devin Townsend - Ghost 2 (September)
Nightwish - Storytime (Single September, Album December)
Old Silver Key (Alcest) - Tales of Wanderings (Sept 16)
We Came As Romans - Understanding What We've Grown To Be (9/13/11)
Angels & Airwaves - LOVE PART 2 (11.11.11)
Lunar Aurora - ? (December, hopefully!)


2011 Releases:
1) Format is "Artist - Album (Genre) (Best songs, if I so choose)"
2) Note that these ratings are based on the album as a whole, not individual songs. This includes production quality, how cohesive all of the songs sound, etc. I definitely prefer concept albums, which progress through a story or similar type of thing.
3) You will note I have a fairly eclectic taste in music. The fact is, if I listened to the album in it's entirety, it's going in here. If I couldn't finish, it's 2.5 or below, or not in here. Also (obviously) if it's bad it's 2.5 or below.

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!

TOP40-FACTS
Nummer 1
Fireflies - Owl City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMr52bCXNdU
Voor de zevende week is Fireflies van Owl City het populairst! Dat betekent dat hij op gelijke hoogte komt met Adele's Chasing Pavements, wat betreft aantal weken op #1.

Record of the Week (RW)
All the Right Moves - OneRepublic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOeGCJdZe4
Zo'n twee jaar geleden introduceerde Timbaland een nieuwe band, die dankzij hem gelijk een dikke hit scoorde met Apologize. Nu is OneRepublic terug met nieuw materiaal en de eerste single daarvan, All The Right Moves, is komende week Record of the Week.

De TOP40 is jarig
Deze week bestaat de TOP40 3 jaar, op 19 januari 2007 verscheen de eerste lijst met toen Nelly Furtado bovenaan. De Record of the Week is, zoals je bij de geschiedenis hier beneden kan zien, iets jonger, die werd op 30 maart pas voor het eerst gekozen (en daar was de primeur ook voor Nelly Furtado).
