Best of 2011 (Hardcore/Punk/Metal)

So here we are, at the end of another year. 2011 saw the release of so much incredible music that I had a really had a hard time compiling my year-end list. I had so much trouble that I essentially broke my year-end list down into three catagories. This post is the first of the three and includes my top twenty hardcore, punk, and metal albums of 2011. So here goes, for whatever it's worth (not much). Have a great holiday and happy New Year!
