Kerrang!'s Top 20 albums of 2010

What?? No bullet?? Or Avenged???
Something has gone wrong here

Where is lostprophets betrayed? Clearly the best album, wasnt overlykern at first but grew on meto become as good as their others

No Rob Zombie, HIM or Fear Factory? :S

WTF!!!!! Bullet For My Val;entine Fever should be number 1 and its not even in it well you have it wrong

WTF!!!!! Bullet For My Val;entine Fever should be number 1 and its not even in it well you have it wrong

No Fever? Or Nightmare and Women & Children Last?

im not happy with your list H.I.M - Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice is clearly the best and then youve left out Lostprophets, BFMV, Murderdolls, AX7 and Alter Bridge shame on you!!!!!!

what about This is War? c'mon 30 Seconds to Mars deserves be in the list!!

Errr wtf!?!?!??! No Zombie, Alter Bridge or even fucking Godsmack!?!?!?! No wonder Godsmack never tour over here, they know the music press in the UK fucking sucks emo dick and wouldn't know decent music if it twatted them in the face with a Flying V guitar!!!!

Well i'll just add that i'm glad to see Alkaline Trio, Trash Talk, Motion City Soundtrack and Gaslight Anthem up there, although I wouldn't have had American Slang down as the second best album of the year, no way. Disappointed that The Dissent of Man isn't number 1 (or even in the top 20...?), an amazing offering by Bad Religion and, for me, album of the year by a long shot

Deftones are well deserved winners, Diamond eyes is such an album.

what about 30 Seconds to Mars... This is war was the best album of the Year!!!

I'd like to be surprised that you've completely ignored The Betrayed, but can't be since you've also ignored Lostprophets on every single countdown you've done on the T.V channel as well.
Y'know if you took a few minutes to get your heads out of MCR's arses you would realise that Lostprophets have just as big and loyal following as MCR.
The Betrayed debuted at no.3 in the album charts, Danger Days at no.14 but you still think more people prefer MCR?

a thousand sons by linkin park should be number 1 coz of the catalyst, wrecthes and kings also waiting for the end

People! Your forgetting, no matter how loyal you are to a rock magazine they will still have music like biffy clyro and *shudders* all time low, they might as well have justin beiber really, or i might as well read metal hammer. one of the two.

what about BFMV, A7X, murderdols and Rob Zombie? (from comments already posted some of you agree).
All those bands, apart from Iron Maiden and Linkin Park aren't good.

BAD LIST (my opinion)
Kerrang was 1st released as a METAL magazine, apparently,not a rock magazine.

Erm... what?! It seems like you have completely forgotten about Lostprophets...

Quite surprised that there is no Bullet, A7X or Lostprophets (also kinda sad...) their music is a lot better than some of the other stuff here....

But there is MCR, so I'm kinda happy.

Glad that Kverlertak are on their but where the FUCK is" women and children last"and "nightmare" ? KERRANG!! you are fucking idiots!

no Lostprophets??? but instead BMTH?? are u crazy!?
I guess Lostprophets are too sophisticated for kerrang these days! u never feature them anymore!
i'm just so glad there's no YMAS in this list.... i think i would have a heart attack if they were!

Glad that Kverlertak are on their but where the FUCK is" women and children last"and "nightmare" ? KERRANG!! you are fucking idiots!

Glad that Kverlertak are on their but where the FUCK is" women and children last"and "nightmare" ? KERRANG!! you are fucking idiots!

sorry for posting that 4 times

WHAT ???? IS IT A MISTAKE OR BFMV AND AVENGED SEVENFOLD AREN'T ON THIS TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2010 ??????

I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE THE BEST ALBUM OF THIS YEAR !!!!!

I agree for Deftones but also BFMV and avanged should be on the list!!

Good list! Glad it is actually based on how good the albums are and not the reputation of the band.

p.s. to the 30stm fan this is war was released in 2009!

motherfuckers where the hell is 'nightmare' hmmm???!!
this list is completely invalid to me without Avenged Sevenfold.
ok deftones is deserved but STILL!!
Also bullet should deffo be there too, and linkin park need to be higher!

lostprophets the betrayed? surely that one deserves a place on the list?

lostprophets the betrayed? surely that deserves a place?

No Sevenfold, no As I Lay Dying, no All That Remains, no Bullet, no Black Label Society....NO FUCKING CLUE.

so earlier in the year you say that fever was the beast album of the year and now its not even on the list WTF

earlier in the year you said that fever was the best album of the year and now its not even on the list WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

earlier in the year you said that fever was the best album of the year and now its not even on the list WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lovin' that kvelertak is on that list cuz i'm norwegian and they are too <3<3<3

avenged should be on here.

right so your 5 star rated bullet for my valentine album is not on the list, but the lower starred linkin park album is.

enough said I feel

Bullet for my valentine should be no.1.

Glad Gaslight Anthem were beaten only by Deftones, American Slang is a very good album. I like this list, not so predictable when it's being listed by them and not the fans. I'm afraid the kerrang readers poll was really predictable and had the same bands throughout it.

What even is this.
Where the fuck is Avenged?
and Muderdolls?
and BFMV?

Oh sorry, I forgot. Kerrang is full of a load of shit now.

The fact that neither Bad Religion or Comeback Kid's latest outings have made an appearance is absolutely shocking! Definitely the two best albums of the year without a doubt!

K! Im so disapointed' I got so many HIM lovers to vote for this.. & there not on the list? but a Album which came out two months ago is.. your so full of shit now' it isnt even the fans who choose this anymore? Grr.. x

linkin park's latest album is dreadful, shouldn't even be on the list. and like other people have said where are the likes of A7X and BFMV also the betrayed was a great album.
suprised to see Mcs on there though, hopefully support for blink's tour

Well done Kerrang! for including some great albums and not just the usual shite that they write about on here. Brilliant not to see 30STM or You me are shit in the list. I agree with those on here arguing for A7X and Bullet however. But brilliant to see Iron maiden at number three. And Deftones are a deserved champion. Once again, well done Kerrang! (for once)

It seems that kerrang cant win no matter what music they decide to convince people that they like. Paramore get put on the cover, forums are filled with haters of 'teenage girl music' and they do a list like this and people complain that bands like lostprophets etc aren't included. For gods sake people Kerrang spans a f*ck load of music genres because no other mags will touch them, live with it. Truth is when kerrang gives readers the right to vote for lists etc most people prefer 30STM and linkin park etc to Iron maiden and the hardcore metal bands, and when kerrang themselves pick and choose they prefer hardcore bands. Anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
Oh and @You 30STM are not included because This is War was released in 2009 not 2010.

Cheers to the Deftones a truly great album.

What the fcuking FUCK!? Why's BMTH on this list!?!? And why isnt A7X on this list!!?!

People complain that bands like Lostprophets aren't included because this is supposed to be a list of the greatest albums of the year and for 'The Betrayed' not to be included in that just proves that Kerrang don't actually understand what makes good music anymore.
This must also be why they left 'Nightmare' off the list. And if ever an album deserved a mention it's that one.
But I expect that MCR suffered whilst recording 'Danger Days' right, like Gerard run out of hair dye.
And I am sick of reading how BMTH's 3rd album has changed the mind of even the most rabid hater. They are shit and they will continue to be shit until Oli Sykes learns how to carry a tune.

A7X - Nightmare - Best album of the year regardless of any lists it failed to be included on.

Like most of the list, especially Trash Talk and Gaslight Anthem, but, where the hell were Bad Religion? One of THE best albums of the year.

Right. These are just my opinions on the list.
Firstly, Bullet deserve to be right up there. #1, I'd say. As a massive Bullet fan, I can say that I absolutely LOVED this album and it definitely met my high expectations of it.
I didn't like Avenged Sevenfold's new album too much tbh, tracks like Fiction had me questioning the album's quality.
Stone Sour's Audio Secrecy deserved to be higher up the list. Corey and his men are absolutely brilliant, and the new album only fortified that opinion of mine.
MCR don't even deserve to be on the list. Before you bash me as a hater, I DO like them. But the new album was a turn from their usual style, and I think it was definitely a turn for the worse.
Same can be said for Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns. Their older stuff was much better.
Jimmy Eat World deserve to be higher up. Sure, it's not been their best album, but it's only because their older ones have been incredible. Expectations were far too high and they haven't met them with the new album. Still, it's pretty good.
I'm glad Deftones was #1 though, their album was really good. And it's good to see Iron Maiden, The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Gaslight Anthem up there. BMTH is horrible though, but I guess some people like that stuff they call music.

And as for all the posts constantly slagging off Kerrang!.. Refer to Tom's post. If you want a really metal magazine, read Metal Hammer. Kerrang! tries to bridge together all forms of rock, even pop-rock. That's what a rock magazine should be doing. And they shouldn't have to put up cuss-down comments all the time for that. And as for the polls, it's honestly not their fault if MCR and Paramore fans vote for their bands to be the best.

ok, thankfully BMTH and Linkin Park is tehre but c'mon, no Lostprophets or Bullet? Kerrang, stop sucking MCR's dick and pull it together.

Filter's 'The Trouble with Angels' was hands down my album of 2010.

Fever is not here for a reason: It's shit. Nothing will ever compare to The Poison. Fever is so generically bad, I don't know why you all like it so much.

Lostprophets 'The Betrayed' was easily the best album of the year.
And I can't believe you have inclued Linkin Park, have you actually heard it?

My #1 = Rocket Summer - Of Men & Angels. Am glad that one writer picked it in his top 10.

wow, kerrang just made a fairly respectable list!!!! quite surprised!

Diamond Eyes is definitely the album of 2010, its incredible.

As for Lostprophets and Bullet, both bands latest albums arent up to par. The betrayed is a step in the right direction but they arent back to the greatness of fake sound yet. and Fever..wow... talk about a band that is so afraid to change its sound. each album sounds so similar is so disappointing, they had so much potential. Neither of these albums are worthy of the top 20.

Linkin Parks new album might not be too good. Its not terrible, but at least theyve got the balls to try something new!!!

a thousand shits is there but no BFMV, what is wrong with the world

There's not many albums out of my personal top 10 or 20 on that list. I personally rate Wino's 'Adrift' on that list - as stunning a piece of work as he's done with his previous bands, such as Saint Vitus or The Obsessed. G.U. Medicine's 'Lords of Oblivion' was also criminally overlooked this year by everyone - dangerous, dark, sleazy rock 'n' roll as it was meant to be done.

That said, Deftones' 'Diamond Eyes' is a worthy winner on this list. That was an excellent album and it put them back among my favourite bands. Good to see Kvelertak, High on Fire and Black Breath in there too - all great albums. I've not heard Electric Wizard's 'Black Masses' yet but I didn't expect to see it in the list!

Overall, K's list this year isn't entirely what I'd go for - there's certainly a fair amount of stink in there - but proportionally, its better than in years gone by.

Nightmare should be on there number 1 u guys suck

I think your missing something D: No Avenged Sevenfold? Ouch.

given all the crap that's on this list, i'm highly dubious of the staff at kerrang nowadays.

I mean, you take one look at this list and you immediately can see it's been a slow year when "Diamond Eyes" is the winner. Great album no doubt, but not the best.

Then you have the obvious toadying. Maiden high up with sub par material.

No Bullet and quite shockingly i think no honours given to Rolo Tomassi. "Cosmology" S***s allover 90% of this list, especially BMTH.

Oh and college year fanboys "The Betrayed" was gash. The fact that the band don't deem the majority of the songs from that album "festival setlist" material says it all.

This is a fucked up list. BMTH and MCR been that high? Get lost. No bullet? parkway drive? alter bridge? taking dawn? murderdolls? swashbuckle? avenged? airbourne? Stone sour and Iron maiden are the only ones that deserve to be there. It's never based on if it's actually good anymore it's always based on poser bands that want their faces on the Kerrang cover.

wth. where's A7X????? Bullet????? ¬___¬

Rumer, Taylor Swift, Four Year Strong, Pathology and Daft Punk are my personal top 5. I am surprised however that Kerrang did not put You Me At Six on the list

Deftones are good but not the best album there!

Diamond Eyes deserves that. Lotta love for the deftones; wake up chi <3

I remember reading this in Kerrang last week and couldnt wait for this to be posted on the website so everyone could give their two cents on it.

Ok, starting off, their are some great choices in that list. Jimmy Eat World, Stone Sour, My Chemical Romance, High On Fire and quite a few other bands there all have worthy choices of great albums.

Ok, I am seemingly suprised to see some albums up their in place of others. Perhaps some bands like Avenged, Coheed, Bullet etc, should have been up there in place of bands with more 'mediocre' efforts like Linkin Park and BMTH (then again, aint all BMTH's stuff).

But people, stop moaning about what isnt their and maybe listen to what is there? There are some pretty great albums there and they wouldnt have been chosen otherwise? Currently, I am discovering the magic that is Alkaline Trio's addition to that list, as The Gaslight Anthem's and the new Dillenger album.

I agree wholeheartly with the first place choice though. Diamond Eyes isn't just an album, it's a thing of beauty. Before this album, Deftones were rateded rather lowly in my books, with pretty crappy bands like Paramore, ATL, BMTH etc. However, hearing Rocket Skates just changed something about them for me. It was something bold and exciting and it stood out in a way their previous stuff hadnt before.

I took it upon myself to listen to the album as they were doing a tour with Coheed And Cambria. What I found was something truely incredible. Every track on the album was pure gold, absolutly irresistable. So by the time November 17th rolled around, I was in the crowd at Brixton Academy singing along to every song Deftones played, from Rocket Skates to 7 Words and everything between.

So despite Year Of The Black Rainbow being my favourite album (as you've probably guess, I'm an avid Coheed fan), I would say Diamond Eyes stands head and shoulders above the competition. :)

Why dont all you critics & listeners check out the new FORBIDDEN album called 'Omega Wave'... That should be at the top instead of MCR&all that pop punk Crap thats fed to us.If you like MH 'the blackening', i suggest you listen to Forbidden.....

Where's A7X?? there ar some truly amazing albums left out of this list

Completely agree with the top 3 but Audio Secrecy and Eyes and Nines should've been higher on the list. Dangers Days and There is a Hell... are too just high, they should be lower down. Also, where's Year of the Black Rainbow, Fever and Young Gun's debut?

BMTH fourth best album of 2010?!
No... just no

Also, I don't know why people are complaining about This is War not being on the list. Seeing as how it came out LAST YEAR.

Have to agree where the fuck is Bullet????? Brilliant album and it hasn't even made the top 20!! Avenged Sevenfold should also be up there, and Stone Sour should be so much higher. Completely fucked up this list is tbh kerrang

I was actually surprised when I saw that Danger Days... hadn't been given the top spot. Not because it was good (I'd only give it a 3/5 personally), but because of how much Kerrang! went on about it.
Overall, I think this is a fairly good countdown. Apart from a few minor blips (BMTH at fourth? Really?), I like it.
The only problem I have with albums that haven't been included is Rolo Tomassi's Cosmology. I've listened to that album countless times, and every time it has blown me away from start to finish. The only other album this year that I've felt the same about is Diamond Eyes, so I'm more than happy that got top place!

Firstly, the lack of BFMV's Fever despite Kerrang giving it 5Ks and never-ending praise does annoy me somewhat.

Secondly, it's good to see that K! are one of the few journalists giving Linkin Park a chance- their new album is brilliant and should be judged on quality, not whether it sounds like their old stuff.

Thirdly- Kerrang, stop being so obsessed with My Chemical Romance, They're a decent band, they're not the second coming.

No Avenged sevenfold WTF is this shit

and who the fuck are deftones ?? didn't they die out like 3 years ago?

NO A7x?

I love this. :D

The whole problem is with the editor and the few shitheads that put all the crap bands on the cover. But the rest of the journalists love the good stuff. Black Breath, Kvelertak, Electric Wizard AND High On Fire?

So much win. :D

I agree with the comment regarding no BFMV in the top 20. There are albums in the list that got 3Ks yet "Fever" received 5Ks and doesn't even make the top 20! There ought to be a more consitent approach to reviewing albums perhaps. What do people think?

First of all, the reason that "the betrayed" by Lostprophets is because the album is shit. Even the band admitted themselves that "the Betrayal" was nowhere near their best.
Secondly I agree with people not sure why "Fever" isn't in this list but its all a matter of opinion.

@Story
This is war came out last year...im pretty sure it was in last years list though :)

soooo happy for deftones saw them in southampton was best gig ive been too and BMTH are amazing aswell. but pretty confused about how MCR got in there and not avenged sevenfold or bullet?

Does everyone want to know why Fever by BMFV and Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold and the Betrayed by Lostprophets aren't in Kerrang's Top 20 albums of the year list?

1. Because the listed 20 albums are better in the opinion of the writers at Kerrang.

And 2. Fever, Nightmare and the Betrayed are all fucking shit albums.

Amen Jim. Nightmare and Fever are bloody awful. I like The Betrayed but it is not album of the year worthy. Im just glad Green Day isn't on here. They aren't worth the spit in my mouth

Clearly no one knows the difference between 'good' and 'bad' music - The Deftones album is definitely the winner for the 2010 Best Album. Every else is just garbage.

Everything else is just garbage. Here's to 'Diamond Eyes'.

No fever? WTF. Although I will agree that deftones deserved that number one. Diamond Eyes is simply a beautiful album :)

I'd barely call BMTH music. I'd call it an ogre vomiting to a drop B guitar and badly tracked drums. I don't understand why everyone jizzes over them? They're utter shite.

Glad to see Deftones, Dillinger and Iron Maiden in the top 5 though.

Bring me the horizon can fuck straight off, that shit isn't even music, just a load of random noise and the biggest prick ever aside from Gerard Way fronts the band. Can't even call him a singer because he doesn't sing!

However, I'm suprised that The Betrayed, Nightmare and Fever didn't make it onto the list because they are brilliant albums
The Betrayed isn't the Lostprophets' best work, but it's got some pretty good songs on so suprised it didn't get on.
Fever got Best Album at the Kerrang awards yet doesn't make the list? Anyone else see the contradiction here?
Nightmare is a brilliant album as well, and for it not to be mentioned is about as close to sacrilege as you can get!

BTW I'm a huge 30 Seconds to Mars fan, but even I'm not stupid enough to shout for This is War to be on the list because it was released in December 2009!

The Betrayed was ehh... It was an okay album but it was nowhere as good as Start Something and thefakesoundofprogress.

Fever should be on this list though. How MCR have made it and Bullet haven't is just a mystery to me.

MCR only reached no. 7?!?!
And no BFMV!?!?!
Whats going on here??
xo

Quite happy with the list. Pleased that neither Nightmare or Fever made it onto the list cuz they aren't as good as the albums in that top 20, simple. Very happy indeed to see Option Paralysis in there.

what about a day to remember? CURSE YOU K! but at least you have Bring Me The Horizon :3

MCR only 7th??! Should be the 1st...

I understand why isn't 30 seconds to mars here; desar folks; This Is War were released last year...

No bfmv, him, fear factory, rob zombie, murderdolls, or korn?! :O OMG!!
BUT- DIAMOND EYES DESERVES NO 1!! =D

LostProphets wasn't mentioned because it came out early in the year, and a lot of the singles were released last year. It sort of feals like it came out last year.

Yeaah Where The Fuck is 30 Seconds To MARS - THIS IS WAR !! :@

CRAP !

And A7X , BFMV , Losprohpets , ...

@the people moaning about consistency. the album reviews are done by A SINGLE PERSON this list is made by MORE THAN ONE PERSON. opinions are different so 5k albums to one person could be 2k to other just accept that not everyone is going to agree with YOUR opinion.

where's A7X, BFMV??? According to the comments everyone's made, loads of people really likes them...i just don't know what this world is coming to... :S

Where's A7X and BFMV?? According to the comments everybody's made, it seems as if people really like them...i don't know what this world is coming to?? :S

why is nightmare and fever not on this list?

and why on earth are deftones number one? i cant stand them!!

wtf no bfmv or 30 seconds to mars only good one is bmth all the rest suck dick

so fever gets 5K's but isnt good enough to make the top twenty? anyone else spotting the incosistency? also lostprophets? young guns? avenged sevenfold? what is going on?

@ Mixa Letoceviç , elliott
This is War came out in 2009. This is a list for 2010.

Deftones deserve this completely! But the rest of the list is a lot of shit seriously. There were better albums in 2010 than fucking Bring Me The Horizon. Fuck sake Kerrang!

Deftones deserve this more than anything, the album was amazing and after everything they've been through sice the previos album, I think they deserve the recognition they've got for this album. However I am quite disappointed that KoRn and Murderdolls haven't made the list, and even more shocked and quite appalled that BFMV haven't made the list, top 5 at least I'd say.
This list has a worthy winner but I think many of the other albums featured are mediocre and there place in the top 20 albums is questionable.

How is Audio Secrecy at 17, whilst BMTH are at number 4?

My Chemical Romance is number 7 my lucky number. THANK YOU for putting "there is a hell believe me ive seen it, there is a heaven lets keep it a secret" by Bring Me The Horizon as high as you did. That band really changed it up, made the album more dramatic, and altogether was beautifully well done.

DONDE ESTA THIS IS WAR DE 30 SECONDS TO MARS???? POR QUE NO LO INCLYERON??

Thrilled to bits to see Melissa Auf der Maur's "Out Of Our Minds" album in the Top 10. It's such an amazing record. Plus it's nice to see a female musician in the Top 10.

wtf?? no A7X? no Lostprophets?? what on earth is going on?? at least we've got Jimmy Eat World but that's that... worst list i've ever seen!

Bring me the Horizon and My Chemical romance in better posicion than Stone Sour ??? well done Kerrang! WTF???

Stone Sour deserve something much better ...

kerrang are always banging on about 30STM, BMFV, A7X, YM@6 yet none of them made the top 20. weird. not to mention theyre all quality albums.

People, it's a bloody list! If you don't like what's in it make your own! I agree with some choices and disagree with others... so what! I'll listen to what the fuck i want and enjoy what the fuck i want to wether the Cds are in kerrangs list or not. Amen.

The Gaslight Anthem are pure shit.

That is one of the worst top list that I have seen. Where is Ufomammut, Suma, Unearthly Trance Sick of it All, Ceremony, Eibon, US Christmas, Trap Them, Diesto, Zoroaster, Cough, Integrity, Sweet Cobra, Dukatalon, Nails, Black Sleep of Kali at? So many of those bands listed are mall metal and/or mainstream metal.

Glad to see High on Fire on the list, Snakes for the Divine was amazing. But it sucks to see peopled talking about BFMV, they are shit.

BMTH are total utter shit! Rising BMTH? No they suck and Oli is fugly.

Slough Feg...better than most of the shit out there, including A7X and BFMV. They get no love.

People need to stfu up about how "defining" BMTH's new album is. Their first two albums were shit, their third was shit with strings over the top, simple as.

Apart from that and one or two other examples, this is a pretty decent list. I'm particularly happy to see Dillinger, Alkaline Trio, Stone Sour and others in this list and Deftones for number 1 is a well deserved winner.

As for albums like The Betrayed, Nightmare and Fever which didn't make the list, I thought they were all half-decent albums but they're simply not as good as the majority of albums in this list. That's probably why they haven't made it.

I was gonna say This Is War should be on here, but I realized that it came out in 2009. hahaha

Miss out the best albums of 2010 like Nightmare and The Betrayed and Put in the shite that is BMTH and that is a thousand suns why don't you kerrang.

Halford "Made of Metal" should be #1 on your list!

Most of the other crap on it doesn't even belong in a supposedly METAL magazine....freaking Linkin Park????

good to see deftones on there...but whee was comeback kid's symptoms + cures??

I'm glad to see Melissa Auf Der Maur on there.

tbh, i didn't really rate danger days...and there has been some really good albums out this year that aren't here? :/

to everytone complaining about the top albums.....its worked out from the positions of the top albums from the entire kerrang! staff and then the band with the most number one positions, number two positions etc is the number one for the year. the same for the number 2 placed album and so on. not too hard to follwo really is it!

DEFTONES is the winner, hell yeah..
But there are some problem with rest..

wth linkin park doing on there ? it was one of the worst album of the year..

and where the hell is FILTER ?

FILTER - THE TROUBLES WITH ANGEL should have been in top 10

yankies, why maiden is 3th?They are the first!

So there's no Deep Blue or Collisions and Castaways really ano no Bayors mayors, scraps and bones proves this list is useless

GANO DEFTONES COCHETUMARE Y PUNTO!

WTF!!! linkin park at 19??? they should have been in the top 10 if not the top 5 :@ and you me at six should be on this list!!

BFMV are fags. They aren't on there for a reason.

Definately agree that Deep Blue should have made an appearance. Eyes & Nines needed to be higher but the fact that Kerrang recognised it at all is blessing in itself. For everyone saying Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold.... Put down the fingerless striped gloves and take alook at yourself in the mirror. Realise your not 14 anymore, or if you are, realise its time to listen to proper music. Diamond Eyes deserved winner and American Slang is a worthy runner up.

OH WOW.

Maidens new album is the biggest piece of shit I've ever heard tbh.

You've missed out:
Parkway Drive - Deep Blue
Bullet For My Valentine - Fever
Straight Lines - Persistence In This Game
Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
A Day To Remember - What Seperates Me From You
Kids In Glass Houses - Dirt

YM@6 was a terrible follow up, that's why they're not in the top 20

People asking why This Is War wasn't in there....because it was released in 2009 you bunch of fucking mongs.

@realmetalist 3th doesn't exist. They're not first, or even 20th, the album is shit.

People need to stop ripping on people for listening to other music, just because you're too ignorant and vein to have someone different to you doesn't mean that you're better than anyone else.

I think everyone just clearly needs to chill the fuck out.

WHY DO I NOT SEE A DAY TO REMEMBER'S ALBUM UP THERE?!!! What Separates Me From You was THE highlight to my 2010!! why the hell are MCR are on there??!!

@ Lee Johnson

Totally agree with you man, I like maiden's older albums but the final frontier was totally lacking.

a thousand suns is the best #1

okay I am happy with Diamond eyes being #1 cause that is insane, but where the hell is a7x's nightmare????? Thats like the album of the year hands down, how can it not be there?

Danzig should be there..

Danzig should be there..

Whaere's Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare??... 30 Seconds To Mars' This Is War??... Kings Of Leon's Come Around Sundown??... I am dissapoint -_-

OMG!!! MCR!!! ♥ ♥

Where the fuck is Avenged's Nightmare? This is a joke right?

No Bullet,Alter Bridge or Avenged,and Stone Sour at 17,plus no mention of Slash there either,wtf?

30stm was 2009.....im not a fan and i know this

You're right, the album nightmare should be here.

are you fucking kidding me? NIGHTMARE? FEVER? THE BETRAYED?

ridiclous.

wait, so let me get this straight....
you put on shitty bands like MCR, but you don't include an amazing band like Bullet who brought out an amazing album!?
were you high when you wrote this?

HOLY FUCK, I didnt know Kerrang had even heard of Electric Wizard or High on Fire, where's a bong when you need it

and fuck my eyes Deftones are number 1, damn fucking right, ace album

well played Kerrang you've brought back my faith in you guys, atleast the website,

remember boys and girls, keep it heavy

this list may be pretty screwed up, but deftone's diamond eyes definately deserves to be #1

Hell yes! No BFMV and A7x in the list! Good one!

Fuck yeah TFF at #3! Now THAT is ownage

@Lee Johnson

I reckon you're being a bit harsh on the Maiden album. Yeah, it didn't have anything on albums like Powerslave, The Killers etc. but it still was a decent album. However I could not agree with you more on your list of albums that should be there. Avenged is my fave band, and I want to avoid bias, but they did put out my favorite record of the year. "Nightmare" was purely amazing. Parkway Drive's "Deep Blue" was also blisteringly great. Bullet's "Fever" was badass (though I prefer the first two albums) and ADTR's "What Separates Me From You" was also fantastic. They deserve a place on that bloody list. Good to know that at least Stone Sour, Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones were on there.

Yaaaaaa!!!!! bring me the horizon is number 4!!!!!!!! :))))

Where's at the edge of time? Haven't you heard of blind guardian?
