Okay, upon popular demand (not really) I have another list for you. More cool albums from 2011 that didn't quite make the top 20. Some were really close, though, and depending on the day could very well be in there. Here are some honorable mention albums I think you should know about beginning at #21 going up to #50 in that exact order. I could have gone and ranked my whole collection but decided to keep it short.

If I've left any out please let me know. I tend to get lost in the music, but thats okay. I was too lazy to put descriptions on every one of these and didn't want to bore you any more than I probably have already. Depending on how serious you are about music, you may or may not have heard of a lot of these bands. I would be happy to fill you in on any questions you might have. Or again, if you have any suggestions based on the bands you've seen listed that I may enjoy leave a comment and I'll hop on it.

Right on Leighton, I was wondering who the hell you were when I saw the friend request on Facebook this morning. Had a feeling it was from decoy. Looks like we have some in common. I am bummed that Unearth played last night with Chimaira and Skeletonwitch in my town and I was unable to attend. I've listened to 75% or so of your records listed and agree they are great records. Balance and Composure I literally just picked up when it was featured on Decoy and agree its a good listen. Don't think it cracks my top ten but not bad. I've been trying to find that Pour Habit torrent for a while and from the few songs I heard, I really like that band. Good to hear from someone new.
ReplyDeleteOh and does that mean you do not like the Cavalera Conspiracy album? Ha, I listened to it since it first came out, but remember it sounded just like all their other albums if I'm correct?
