@ Illusion's_Void: Why do you think that ? I found this year quite nice and had followed European competition as much as this year in a long while! Plus liverpool will be back next year (not that anyone but us fans cares haha)
Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so will increase in size. Also, not entirely in order, middle order mainly just an approximation.
