Flyleaf - Remember To Live EP

I have that one on my list as a 2010 release (not that it would matter, it wouldn't make my top 10 for either year).

You are correct, and I will remove it from my potential favorites consideration.

I know you were asking this of Gary. I just wanted you to know that my list above was just a list of what I bought. It is not the final favorites list. My list was just to help me remember what came out this year and what was worthy of some merit.

It's going to take me about another week probably.

This year is't hard to make a list with the favorite CDs I've bought.
I think it's a good idea only to show what I have bought this year.

Bride - This Is It (reissue)
Red - Until We Have Faces
Scarlet - Scarlet
Echoing Angels - Echoing Angels
Five Star Prophet
Sarepta - Smokin'Vineyard ( that's the CD I have listend to many many times.)
Crucible Divine - Commitment
Broken Silence - Discerning Times
Crossforce - Rocking' Til The Final Day
I Am Empire - Kings
Seventh Day Slumber - The Anthem Of Angels
FG - Battle For Souls.

This is what I have bought this year.

You have several albums that I didn't get this year. And because of you I have that good Crucible Divine album

I think you have albums I don't have.
At least all the albums from female fronted rock bands.

Ok I finally figured out my favorite albums of the year, and since I got several EP's this years (like 6 of them).....I broke it into two sections.

Favorite Albums for 2011
1 Broken Silence - Discerning the Times (reissue)
2 Theocracy - As the World Bleeds
3 Stryper - The Covering (if this had been originals of this caliber it would have been higher on my list...probably #1)
4 Saint - The Revelation (remix/reissue)
5 Medicine Wheel - Fire On the Moon
6 Vision - Streetfighter (reissue....kind of)
7 David Benson - Purpose of the Cross (reissue)
8 Seventh Day Slumber - The Anthem of Angels

Favorite EPs for 2011
1 HarvestBloom - Let it Go
2 Decemberadio - Southern Attic Sessions
3 Guardian - 3 to Get Ready
4 Red Letter - In Your Hands

Honorable mention goes to Crucible Divine - Commitment, hoping that band can put out more albums as I really like what they are doing.

Disappointments
Eowyn - Beautiful Ashes, the album didn't stink but it was a far cry from the fantastic "Silent Screams" album she did previously.
Edge of Eternity, I liked the demo material this gothic metal/modern rock band put out last year, but for some reason their official EP release this year seemed to feature too much in the way of "core" type vocals to keep me happy.

Sadly I am still missing the Sapreta album "Smokin' Vineyard" for this year, and had also wanted to get the Crossforces reissue. So either of those albums may have also found their way to my favorites this year.

I haven't added the albums I have downloaded.

Well they count too, don't they. Almost all the albums on my list were downloaded (either from eMusic or Amazon.....not the blasphemous i-t**es)

They really do.
I downloaded some albums at eMusic.
Due the problems with downloading an album I quit.
It's not cool to pay and try to download an album you never get.

I agree, that is not cool at all.

The Seventh Power - Power & Glory EP

Did this ever get released on CD? And what about the DTS project of Bruce Menchen?

OK… so Power And Glory is gonna be released as a full-length, eventually. (Bill told me a couple times on FB, although I can't find exactly when he said that). Five songs are available for now, from Amazon and i****s.

DTS is available for download. CDs have not been pressed yet, in Bruce's words: "I will be ordering them soon I had some stuff that tied up my funds" (source)
I've heard a couple songs, and this will definitely be worth buying. I'll get a copy of this autographed.

I realized I had listed all my purchases but not my favorites. So, here is my list for the year:


1. SEVENTH DAY SLUMBER - Anthem Of Angels
2. Sarepta - Smokin' Vineyard
3. HB - Jesus Metal Explosion
4. Eowyn - Beautiful Ashes
5. Liberty 'N Justice - Chasing A Cure LP
6. Broken Silence - Discerning The Times
7. FG - Battle For Souls
8. Icon For Hire - Scripted
9. Apologetix - Wise Up And Rock
10. Red - Until We Have Faces


There were other honorable mentions (and Menchen's), but these are the ones I play most often.

I was kind of wondering if you had forgotten about this thread.
I'm a little surprised to see that we only have 2 albums in common on our lists.

I cant help it if your tastes are not as distinguished as mine.

The lists of Staybrite and Chris have CDs you can find on my list too, but also CDs
I don't have on my list.

Well I always kind of thought of us as Han Solo and Chewbacca.....since your the tall one that makes you Chewbacca by default. But I probably look more like a fat Jawa.....so it would be a stretch to compare me to Han Solo and I doubt you are quite as hairy as Chewie.
