2010 Mid-Year Music Thread

[benji]

We're slightly past the mid-year point, and I can't really do any picking as I've been years behind for years (outside of Coheed and Cambria - "Far"), as reflected in my picks last year.

But everyone else should put some things up, top fives and such.

My top 10 albums of 2010 so far...

1: The Amity Affliction - Youngbloods
2: Comeback Kid - Symptoms and Cures
3: Haste The Day - Attack Of The Wolf King
4: Parkway Drive - Deep Blue
5: House vs. Hurricane - Perspectives
6: Honor Crest - Honor Crest EP
7: In Fear And Faith - Imperial
8: As I Lay Dying - The Powerless Rise
9: Norma Jean - Meridonal
10: Deez Nuts - This One's For You

On the brink:

Alesana - Emptiness
Emarosa - Emarosa
Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast
Chimaira - Coming Alive
Secret And Whisper - Teenage Fantasy
Rosaline - The Vitality Theory
A Plea For Purging - The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell

Amity Affliction are growing in popularity here at a pretty rapid rate. Youngbloods was like their old stuff but with better production. Symptoms and Cures is fantastic as is Attack Of The Wolf King (surprisingly), and while Deep Blue isn't as good as it should've been it's still pretty great.

This One's For You was probably the most disappointing release for me, even though it's in my top ten. They can do so much better but it's still a pretty cool album.

1. Bullet for my Valentine - Fever
2. A Hero A Fake - Let Oceans Lie
3. Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare [even though it hasn't come out yet]
4. Story of the Year - The Constant
5. Linkin Park - 1000 Suns [even though it hasn't come out yet either] If it's like their last CD, I am definitely taking this one off the list.

This year's kind of sucked so far, but those are still pretty awesome.

It's terrible. I downloaded it last night.

Well, I've never found an a7x song I hate... but I said the same thing about Linkin Park in 2007... Oh, well, I've got it on pre-order, and I'm getting it anyway, just cause I like A7X.
