Calc 12.01.25	I cleaned up on your 2010 list this will be easy! A Lot Like Birds- Conversation Piece Shugo Tokumaru- Port Entropy Submotion Orchestra- Finest Hour The Story So Far- Under the Soil and Dirt The Human Abstract- Digital Veil Dionaea- Still Adebisi Shank- This is the Second Album... SORNE- House of Stone David Maxim Micic- Bilo EP Oh No Yoko- Pau Pau leaving off super obvious ones like protest the hero, la dispute (garbage anyway), mastodon, dance gavin dance etc.
arthropod 12.01.25	2011 was a pretty dull year imo, but: Asking Alexandria - Reckless & Relentless (mallcore) coldrain - The Enemy Inside (post-hardcore) Cryoshell - self titled (alt rock) Evanescence - self titled (alt rock/synthpop) Machine Head - Unto the Locust (groove metal) Additional option which I'm not sure if qualifies: Thousand Foot Krutch - Welcome to the Masquerade (Fan Edition) (the core album is older but this version is worth checking because the bonus tracks clear all the regular ones)
Calc 12.01.25	bro 2011 was amazing year looking back on just what I had in my collection lol
JoyfulPlatypus 12.01.25	@Calc - nothing wrong with throwing out obvious ones too lol I know I've heard Mastodon but unsure of the others. I was only 12/13 in 2011 so it's not like I was keeping up with trends.
arthropod 12.01.25	[REDACTED]
JoyfulPlatypus 12.01.25	Lol well even with tossing in the obvious ones, the list is up to 43 entries so far!

RVAHC13 12.01.25	See I’m just throwing out albums I actually listened to back then as opposed to what I know now. The Suburbs isn’t the best album from 2010 but it’s definitely an album that reminds me of that time period

arthropod 12.01.25	That year I turned 3, how about that
budgie 12.01.25	the fuck
JoyfulPlatypus 12.01.25	Damn Anthro, you're only 17?? Lol and here I was feeling like the young one on this site.
arthropod 12.01.25	Technically you still are, it depends on the reference point. And yeah, I'm aware it's an ontologic bomb but I'm from '08.

TheManMachine 12.02.25	dj rashad - just a taste vol. 1 youth lagoon - the year of hibernation
JoyfulPlatypus 12.02.25	Thanks a bunch everyone! Right now the to-do list is up to 77, not including the things I've already listened to. Will probably add a new batch of 5-6 albums to this list later today.
JoyfulPlatypus 12.03.25	Got a bunch more added! Planning to get through even more during the rest of this week.
arthropod 12.03.25	Nothing below 2.75 yet, seems you're having some fun here. Cryoshell is... passable, I think (read: great but I had to get used to it). Interesting that Come to My Heaven appealed to you, my second favourite song is Trigger. The sound is pretty much early 2010's Lacuna Coil, which wasn't perfect either, but resulted in several bangers. I strongly recommend you check Cybersleep sometime, that's their best cut from the time between Karmacode and Delirium.
budgie 12.09.25	>:V
Winsomniac 12.09.25	Iselia - Life from Dead Limbs Departures - When Losing Everything Is Everything You Wanted skramz b/c you have State Faults as a 5.
Azazzel 12.09.25	how about Osees 'Carrion Crawler/The Dream' also saw you highly rated Trophy Scars for the 2010 list (nice!) should prob check the 2011 follow up Never Born, Never Dead
JoyfulPlatypus 12.09.25	Thanks for the additional recs! I'll get them all added to the list I've got. I've been planning on continuing with these 2011 albums soon, just haven't had as much time to jam things now that I'm training for a new job. But once I'm caught up, I'm sure I'll have lots of down/quiet time where I can bust these out.
botb 12.09.25	Pianos become the teeth - the lack long after
arthropod 12.09.25	First things first. What job are you training for?
Aids 12.10.25	Laura Stevenson - Sit Resist Danny Brown - XXX Trophy Scars - Never Born, Never Dead So many more, that's just off the top of my head but three of my favourite albums. That was my prime music listening year.
JoyfulPlatypus 12.10.25	@anthropod - I got promoted recently to become a purchasing agent at the construction supply company I work at! So it's lots of memorizing new systems and products and whatnot. @Aids - Thanks for the suggestions!
DANcore 12.10.25	Congrats on the promotion! Nicolas jaar-space is only noise Asap rocky-live.love.asap The roots-undun Integral-the past is my shadow Lights-siberia Tangled thoughts of leaving-deaden the field Devin townsend project-ghost Riverside-memories in my head Uncle acid and the deadbeats-blood lust Snowmine-laminate pet animal (check this one) Kilamanjaro darkjazz ensemble-from the stairwell Destroyer-kaputt Septicflesh-the great mass
Josh D. 12.10.25	Looks like pretty much everything I would've rec'd has been already (A Winged Victory, Kilamanjaro Darkjazz, Trophy Scars, Ulcerate) and seeing Dionaea wow, I haven't thought about them in at least a decade. I see no one has mentioned Olafur Arnalds - Living Room Songs yet. I'm not very familiar with that, but pretty much anything he releases is good.
jrlikestodance 12.10.25	Seconding that Nicolas Jaar record, I'm upset I left it off my list lol
JoyfulPlatypus 12.10.25	Wowza that's a lot more recs lol thank you very much! Looks like there may be even more albums rec'd to me from 2011 than there were from 2010.
efp123 12.10.25	iselia - life from dead limbs
Josh D. 12.10.25	That's a good one.
