OK, so I know it's only November, but I think it's close enough to Decide what albums are the best and worst of 2011.  If there are some coming out between now and December 31, feel free to add them, every opinion counts

Best
-Esoteric's Paragon of Dissonance

A total of 6 albums over the course of 20 years and every single one is perfect. That is impressive.

Worst
-Metallica/Lou Reed's Lulu

You know.

Last.fm: Mercenarion

Hmm, I've never heard of Esoteric.  I'll have to check them out And I totally agree with you on Metallica/Lou Reed.  Although I keep telling myself it's not strictly a Metallica album, so I'm hoping their follow up to Death Magnetic will be better than Lulu haha.  As for my favorite album, I would have to say Anthrax's "Worship Music".  Now that Belladonna is back, it sounds like Anthrax again.  I wasn't that big of a fan of the John Bush era, but their music was still solid.  I loved every single album with Joey, and this one is no different.

Best:  Rose Funeral - Gates of Punishment
It was fast, Brutal, melodic, technical and had a little bit of prog thrown in there. Not to mention how shitty they were before this album. I think they deserve some recognition.

Worst: Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
No comment
