Seth's top 10 Metal (and non-Metal) albums of 2010

Important notes:
- The lists are numbered but *not* in any order. I never rank albums.
- Disappointments aren't random albums but ones I was specifically looking forward to.
-LCD Soundsystem and the Roots both put out two albums this year, both of which I really liked and wanted to include. I decided to give each band one slot on the list for both records. This way 40% of the list wouldn't be just two bands.
