Greetings!! XD
It's that time of year again, I have spent many hours of the last couple of weeks repeatedly listening to the new releases of the year in order to compile my finalized top 10 albums list..
This years list has been even harder to finish than last years, there have been two albums in 2010 in particular which have become amongst my favourite albums of all time.. I had a pretty hard time choosing just ten albums as there has been a lot of decent new releases this year and I have lots of new favourites but I have finally settled on these CD's… So here goes, these are my ten most loved albums of this year:
9. Avalanch - El ladrón de sueños
8. Freedom Call - Legend of the Shadowking
7. Avantasia - Angel of Babylon
6. Avantasia - The Wicked Symphony
5. Allen-Lande - The Showdown
4. Mägo de Oz - Gaia: Epílogo
3. Dark Moor - Ancestral Romance
2. Stravaganzza - Raices
…and here's my top album of the year. This year's number one album is easily one of my favourite CD's of all time. It has everything I like in an album - a good balance of fast and slow songs, a mixture of serious and fun songs, male and female vocals and a ton of guest musicians from members of some of my other favourite bands such as Saratoga, Stravaganzza, Savia and more.. Pretty much anyone who knows me will already know what my number 1 album of the year is anyway!! :D
1. Mägo de Oz - Gaia III: Atlantia
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Other honourable mentions go to these albums which just missed out on my top 10 list:
DarkSun - Tocar el Sol
Saurom - Maryam
Tierra Santa - Caminos de Fuego
Labyrinth - Return To Heaven Denied Pt. II - A Midnight Autumn's Dream
Geysser - El Hombre Sin Talento
Kamelot - Poetry For The Poisoned
Galneryus - Resurrection
So thats it for another year.. All that's left for me to say now is that If 2011 has half the amount of good new releases as 2010 then I will be more than happy.. Hopefully we shall be treated to new albums from Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Edguy and WarCry within the next 12 months (I'm predicing now that Symphony X will release the best album of 2011, lets hope I'm right!)..
Until the same time next year…
