Our good friends at Decibel Magazine always seem to be the first out of the gate with a Top Albums list, and that's because they have deadlines to make.

They have release their top 40 albums of the year, and as always, the best issue of the year is this year end issue, which features extended interviews with members of the bands who release the top albums, and fun side lists to recap the year. View the list below, and pick up the full issue (which also has a Hall of Fame piece on the Judas Priest classic Painkiller) right here.
