TOO SOON? VINCE’S BEST OF 2011… SO FAR

Axl’s published his First Half of 2011 list and Corey’s published his… my turn!

I really do these every year as a way of documenting where my head is mid-year so when December rolls around I can go back and look, not so much as a definitive “Best of the First Half” statement. As such it’s only a half-decent representation on what’ll eventually end up on my final year-end list.

So, here it is, in alphabetical order: my favorite releases of 2011 so far.

• Abysmal Dawn – Leveling the Plane of Existence
• Anthrax – Worship Music
• Believer – Transhuman
• Decapitated – Carnival is Forever
• The Human Abstract – Digital Veil
• Revocation – Chaos of Forms
• Scale the Summit – The Collective
• Shining – VII: Född Förlorare
• Sylosis – Edge of the Earth

Now, get to arguin’.
