Well it's the end of the year and I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping my new year resolution that I made at the beginning of the year. That resolution was to keep track of the new albums coming out and it was a good resolution because I had fun listening to all these new albums this year. I have my Top 10 list, but along with that I'm putting 6 runner ups and the rest of the list of albums that I listened to.

TOP 10

Since in 2010 I didn't make any attempt to keep a list of albums that were released in that year I couldn't make a top 2010 album release list. THUS why I'm going to commit to keeping up to date with all the album releases of 2011. In this entry I will list all the albums I have listened to that are new releases. When the year is over (not that I'm planning that far ahead) I will create a top list. SO LET'S GET GOING!

LISTENED TO (* = Favorites)
Abysmal Dawn - Leveling The Plane Of Existence*
Alestorm…

This post is mainly for myself so I can write down the names of ALL the bands I have seen this year. Every concert I attended this year holds some kind of special memory that will always make me smile.

I have met many great band members and friends at these shows so this post is also dedicated to all of you for being awesome friends. SO LET'S GET LISTING

I'll be listing the names mostly based off of relevance…

Epica
Blackguard (x3)
Korpiklaani
Tyr
Swashbuckle (x2)
White Wizzard

Well on Tuesday, December 2, it was my birthday and my girlfriend got my 30 bucks worth of iTunes money. So I decided to get three albums

1) "The Fathomless Mastery" by Bloodbath
I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM! It is one that just gets me moving to the beat. Very catchy riffs!

2) "13" by Six Feet Under
I had this album a while back, but since I downloaded it for free I decided to buy it and it's the first Death Metal album I ever came across in my Metal Journey.

3) "The Way of All Flesh" by Gojira…

This is due to the fact that when I updated my iTouch the Jailbreak app, MobileScrobbler, was deleted and for some stupid reason the Last.fm app from the App Store won't scrobble the songs. So until the time that I'm not lazy my music won't be scobbled on her unfortunately =/

I got Ensiferum, Vader, Ulver, and and Job For A Cowboy all in the 90s and it's time to get them up to the 100s! Why am I doing this? BECAUSE IM BORED AS FUCK!

AND I plan to get up to 17,000 tracks by Sunday.
