Čo spravilo s celoredakčným vkusovým prienikom rozšírenie o šiestich nových hlasujúcich (a vypadnutie niekoľkých doterajších mien)? Takmer nič. Víťazstvo MASTODON vo Valhalle 2011 neprekvapí, druhé miesto pre zdanlivo menej známu ASVU tu tiež už raz bolo. Dejiny ankety sa prepisujú až pri treťom mieste, ktoré je novým rekordom pre domácu kapelu. SILENT STREAM OF GODLESS ELEGY tromfli v minulosti o stupienok horších OTK a LVMEN a azda dokázali, že to s muzikou v našich luhoch a hájoch ide od piatich k desiatim. Škoda, že slovenské želiezko v ohni, ktoré vyzeralo veľmi sľubne, nakoniec skončilo pred bránami najlepšej dvadsaťpäťky. Inak je náš výročný rebríček opäť zdravou zmesou menej známych i osvedčených mien, metalu aj rocku, mainstreamu aj undergroundu. Pozoruhodným zjavom je azda len prítomnosť až dvoch albumov zo žánru ambient. TIM HECKER sa tento rok objavuje aj vo výročných rebríčkoch veľkých médii typu Pitchfork a spolu s DEAF CENTER ukazuje, že tento zdanlivo neprístupný žáner môže byť aj nádherne strhujúci.
21 redaktorov vrátane šestice nových vyslalo do boja o titul albumu roka webzinu Metalopolis až 227 nahrávok. Možno nie každý ocení aj ten 227. v poradí (ak to chcete vedieť, je to album NAZARETH), no asi sa väčšina z nás zhodne, že rok 2011 bol pre našu hudbu veľmi priaznivý.
Nech je taký aj rok 2012.
