METALSUCKS “BEST ALBUMS OF 2007” RACE HEATS UP

As the year 2007 winds down we’ll be rolling out some year end features, among them our Top 10 lists and our very own Awards, “The Suckies,” in which you, our loyal readers, will get to vote. You guys are in for a real treat with that one. But starting next week, we’ll roll out our Top 10 lists — Vince and Axl will cover their favorite releases of ’07 while Kip Wingerschmidt will do his with a Kipian twist, the “Top 10 Favorite Albums I discovered in ’07.”

What are your favorite releases of 2007? Make sure we haven’t forgotten anything in our pool of nominees. After the jump, a full list in no particular order, as best as we could compile, of all major metal releases to hit the shelves in 2007.
