2. James Labrie - Impermanent Resonance

 

Massive surprises were James Labrie and Heaven's Basement which I both love....great albums.

 

 

I love really getting something out of these kinds of threads. Thanks for the heads up, mate. Hadn't even heard about the James Labrie album but I checked it out based on your list. I was a little nervous after that Lighthouse Orchestra group you had high on your list last year, which was not for me, but holy shit, this Labrie album is a monster.

 

Always loved the dude's voice and hold the Winter Rose disc dearly. Great to hear him return to (albeit much, MUCH heavier) more melodic and catchy stuff. All songs sneaking in around the 4min mark, with some deadset killers on here. Great modern melodic metal disc. Love it. Thanks for the tip!!!

[Clutch]

As of right now, my favorite melodic rock album of year is:

 

Maragold- s/t

 

Of course, things can change but this is just a great album imo. I've always enjoyed Greg Howe's guitar playing and Meghan's vocals are the perfect fit. Awesome stuff!

I was super surprised as his previous solo efforts did little for me.

[Nightrain]

Still love that album!

[Metal T]

Horrible year for new releases....

[Nightrain]

Horrible year for new releases....

 

i wonder what releases are you waiting for as there are more than 30 albums from various genres worth more than 80% so it's still a great year so far

[Metal T]

Ummm...no its only a 'great year' if your actually a fan of the bands who have released something new this year.If your not then its been a disappointing and abysmal year,which in my book it has.

[heavyharmonies]

Cheer up, I hear there's a new Lady Gaga album coming...

[Glen]

What bands are you a fan of? If u are looking for metal the new Edens Curse is great

[heaven&hell]

Right now I'd say Wet 'Rise Up' but that could change by the end of the year. I need the new Eden's Curse, Reckless Love and several others and I just got the new Alter Bridge and I love it so that could jump to the top of the list. While there have been many very good albums there haven't been as many great ones IMO as say there was in 2010 or other recent years but still there have been many very good ones.

For me it is the W.E.T. still at #1, I love it and AdrianGale- Sucker Punch #2
