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 12.02.25	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.
