To start the year, nothing better to do a retrospective of last year. Although delayed, the post is valid. It was difficult to pinpoint a record like best of 2010, which was very good in terms of releases. The proof is that the albums of Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne and Slash, for example, all excellent, were left out. So, what are your favorite records of 2010?
Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR
The expectation created on behalf of the masterpiece Mabool, 2004, made The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR the most anticipated album in last year's metal scene. The Orphaned Land not disappointed, quite the contrary. Produced by Steven Wilson , the Israelis gave another fantastic job . Only time will tell if the new album is equivalent to Mabool. Right now all I can say is wonderful.
Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy
And the title of best guitarist of our time goes to ... Jeff Loomis . What this robot commands see the seven-string is no joke is lots of jaw dropping. The Nevermore wiped a bit more complex parts, but did not skimp on brawl. The Obsidian Cospiracy sounds modern and more direct. Praise singer Warrel Dane turned to rain in the wet, but I will not steal from the register face, as always, impressive.
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
The rapper and producer U.S. is hated by most loved by the public and an even larger share criticism, which makes it the new king of pop (He does). I do not deny that the guy is a big scrotum, but I can not let it undermine the fact that Kanye West recorded one of the best albums of the year, complete with a bizarre 34-minute video called Runaway.
Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned
Although Angra Temple of Shadows has recorded the best album of power metal, Kamelot came up with The Black Halo (2005), and still have something available that Brazilians do not have: Roy Khan. Vocalist Norwegian makes all the difference this group, which is very competent and over the years developed his own style to make heavy music. Best Ghost Opera.
Heathen - The Evolution of Chaos
The Evolution of Chaos is a lesson in how to make thrash metal. The Heathen fell to the wayside after recording two classics and was relegated to the second step of the style for it. What is this little riff machine called Lee Altus, the brains behind the heathen, a band as good as Exodus and Anthrax but not so lucky. A roll up!
Jamiroquai - Rock Light Star Dust
If the last three releases (1999, 2001 and 2005), Jamiroquai left to be desired, Jay Kay and his troupe returned with everything in Rock Star Dust Light , recovering energy from Travelling Without Moving. With great musicians at his side, the English singer with a surprisingly nice job to hear from start to finish, full of groove and hits.
Dirty Sweet - American Spiritual
When I knew the sound of Dirty Sweet realized I was faced with a band that would be great. The Californian quartet took note ten in the second test disc with its simple rock and roll, but very well done and diverse. Do not be surprised if the next few years Dirty Sweet appear at the top as one of the greats of this new decade. Talent is not lacking.
Grand Magus - Hammer of the North
Although Grand Magus reach their fifth album with Hammer of the North, I just know the group better this year. And look who was already a fan of the work of vocalist Janne "JB" with Christoffersson Spiritual Beggars. The Swedish trio's music is the most pure heavy metal, especially the incredible vocals of JB, which also shows a great guitarist.
Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare Before
drummer Mike Portnoy join the Avenged Sevenfold, who replaced the late James Sullivan, had never paid attention to the band led by vocalist M. Shadows. Nightmare is a powerful record, with heavy riffs and awesome guitar solos. Surprise of the year.
Emancipator - Safe In The Steep Cliffs
had chills when I read that some artist was associated with the electronic genre. Gradually, however, I was listening and discovering albums like In the Safe Steep Cliffs, from producer Douglas Appling, the Emancipator . The modern sound and traveler's trip hop captivated me so that I have to acknowledge that the kid is brilliant.
