Foo Fighters - Wasting Light

And yes, I'm also looking forward to the new MH album.

Blunt force trauma is the only album I bought that came out in 2011.

So I guess for me that's the best album of 2011 haha

Whocares.

2 Tracks only but both of them rock!!! And it is with Jason Newsted on bass, Nicko McBrain from Maiden on the drums and Tony Iommy on guitar!!!

Here's one of them:

Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising (this album a bit worse then previous one, but still great. Founder of BTD faired guitarist and drummer after 6 months of the album release, so obviosly he wasn't happy about the record)
Favorite Track - Deathstar - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J8xf3nuCtw

Born Of Osiris - The Discovery (absolutely kick-ass masterpiece with unbelievable guitar solos)
Favorite Track: Behold - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0VBaye65sc - Listen to guitar work, its beyond my imagination.

Children Of Bodom - Relentless Reckless Forever (after Blooddrunk I wasn't expecting something even decent, but they overdone themselves)
Favorite Track: Relentless Reckless Forever - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS4bQcfWT3A

Cruachan - Blood On The Black Robe (finally pioneers of pagan black metal released something new and its brilliant from the very beginning to the end)
Favorite Track: Pagan Hate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvvCes_2gpw

Deadlock - Bizarro World (very soft album, but still awesome)
Favorite Track: HTRAE - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgMjPpqI9U8

Falkenbach - Tiurida (after 6 years of silence mr. Vratyas Vakyas finally released another masterpiece of his one-man-band project)
Favorite Track: Time Between Dog And Wolf - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxninFBWcMM

Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra (can't help but list this album here, long awaited anticipated album for me)
Favorite Track - Autotunage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2b0eM6SVf4

Looking for new Machine Head, Trivium (I have doubts about that, but well) and Wintersun (god, I hope it will be released at some point in future), plus of course new concept album from Fear Factory and 3rd Divine Heresy release (both will hit the market in 2012).

All Shall Perish - This Is Where It Ends : Without a doubt my favorite album of 2011 thus far. I know their kind of metal isn't real popular around here, but any true metalhead can appreciate their speed and technical prowess, and their singer's awesome range.

Deicide - To Hell w/ God : Typical Deicide, nothing new or different, but that's the point: it's Deicide! Another great brutal death metal album by the old guys.

Neuraxis - Asylon : A very good death metal band from Montreal. Very solid album. Doesn't all mesh together like many death metal albums do.

All I can think of off the top of my head. Don't really check out complete albums by bands unless I know them.
