I was pretty disappointed with Unearth's new album too, but I did like the HSB and Evergrey albums. I thought Monday Morning Apocalypse was sooo much better than Inner Circle, although it definitely isn't quite on par Recreation Day.
I refused to buy The Crusade after seeing Trivium live and witnessing Matt Heafy pussy out on all of the old tracks and either break out his new "Hetfield-ish" vocal style, or just pawn off all of the growling duties to the guitarist. Plus, I can't say I liked any of the new tracks they played very much.

Monday Morning Apocalypse is (IMO) their worst effort yet. Songs are shorter, far less progressive, and boring. Not saying the first two make them necessarily bad. I do listen to them. They're just not Evergrey. They still rank as one of my favorite bands though.
The new HSB is not memorable to me at all like Antigone was.
Oh, I also saw you mention The Fall of Ideals somewhere. Holy crap do I love the song This Calling (repetitive, boring chorus, though. Labonte has a terrific voice, however). The rest of the album is pretty good, but nothing I'd jerk off over. Good band though. I'd like to see them live.
Let's see, what else ...
New God Dethroned isn't very good.
I have the new KSE and 40 Below Summer, but haven't listened yet ...
New Red Sparowes is kinda cool, but I can't listen to them for very long without needing to switch over to something else.
New Autumn Offering sucks.
Am I gay for finding the new Eighteen Visions catchy?
The Human Abstract's Nocturne is pretty solid.
New Haunted is a disappointment.
And last but not least, since you're always on the lookout for some good melo-death: Lyzanxia's UNSU album. Finally, the French do something right.
I must be the only one who liked the new Trivium. More thrash less new wave of American metal/rip off Gothenberg sound/lets sound like every other band. But then again I was listening to thrash when most of you dudes were in diapers. I'm not saying it's the best this year but I found it refreshing.
I do agree with you powerslave. I liked some of the record. Most of the music slays my face off. I can't stand Heafy's vocals though. And the slower tracks are weak, IMO.
Tread the Floods is one of the catchiest songs I've heard all year though. Killer instrumental title track at the end as well.

Dudes, I haven't even listened to samples from the new Trivium. That's how disillusioned I've become with the NWOAHM scene.
Yeah, that Unearf isn't good. Listened to that once. Same with the KSE. Holy boring. I put on one song from the new LoG and figured it was too much like Ashes, ha.
Please, someone do something interesting with the sound again.

Lamb of God has too many anthemic choruses on Sacrament. Gets boring. Still some fun music though. I'll always like them.
I love So It Goes off the nea Unearth, but pretty much only because of the trade-off solos. Maybe I'm just maturing in my tastes and beginning to hate metalcore more and more. Sounds about right.
On a non-metal note, I downloaded Army of Anyone's disc last night. I wonder how that is.

See, I can't call stuff like Unearf metalcore anymore because I don't hear the hardcore. I just hear the metal.
Tell me how that Army of Anyone is because I have a secret boner for Filter.
I got in an argument with a guy that said that everyone should like the new LoG, because they haven't changed since New American Gospel. I was like, bitch, A WARNING. A WARNING.
Plus, the remaster of NAG was ass. Great job adding more bass. Ugh, still some of the worst sounding drums ever, yet, still not as bad as the drums on And Justice for All.

Hmmm.
Riverside's debut LP, Out of Myself. Picked that up last week. Not as good as their next release, Second Life Syndrome. Seems a bit chaotic at times, like the band wasn't sure which direction to head. Still a solid progressive rock release.
Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating By the Stars. Took a chance on this band. They're on the Inside Out label (Evergrey, Riverside, Devin Townsend to name a few). I had never heard the band before, but from lots of reviews, it sounded like a solid prog rock outfit. I only listened to the disc once, but it seems disappointing. I'll give an update when I listen again.
Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone. Dayumn. Haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it seems the band goes from the most brutal, evil sounding metal imaginable right to the opposite side of the spectrum, with some impressive clean vocals and melodic passages. Pretty awesome.
