^^ Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of Hardwired. It's not even in my top 20 of the year. I found Death Magnetic to be the more enjoyable "modern" Metallica album to me. At least, I can recall songs right away in my mind and easily name fave fives of the album. I can't do the same with Hardwired.

I loved Now That We're Dead so much that I spent an entire day learning how to play a lot of it, lol. I like some of DM. But I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that one.

BTW, has anyone here listened to the Last In Line album? Surviving original Dio members with a decent singer doing some classic hard rock. I keep up with Def Leppard a lot, so I also keep up with Vivian Campbell's solo project. Decent rock album.

I've listened to a fair few albums this year, although it's still hard to do a top 10 as some of those albums have had very little staying power, even albums from my favourite bands such as Alter Bridge and Black Stone Cherry. I wouldn't want to call them bad or forgettable bands but I'm just not motivated to listen to them again in a hurry.

1) Gojira - Magma
2) Megadeth - Dystopia
3) The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness
4) John Wesley - A Way You'll Never Be
5) Red Fang - Only Ghosts
6) Testament - Brotherhood of the Snake
7) Anthrax - For All Kings
8) Steven Wilson - 4 1/2
9) Alter Bridge - The Last Hero
10) Black Stone Cherry - Kentucy
