callback after async forEach AngularJS

Question

How do I add a callback function after an async forEach Loop?

Here is some better context:

$scope.getAlbums = function(user, callback) {

Using the $resource promise PR commit slated for 1.1.3, I was able to wrap $resource calls with $q and control the flow of their async behavoir.

$scope.getAlbum = function(user, id, callback) {
    var promise = Imgur.album.get({user:user, id:id}).$promise.then(
        function( value ){
            return callback(value.data);
        },
        function( error ){
            //Something went wrong!
        }
    )
    return promise;
}

$scope.getAlbums = function(user, callback) {
    var prom = [];
    $scope.albumsList.forEach(function (obj, i) {
        var promise =
        $scope.getAlbum(user, obj.id, function(value){
            $scope.albums.push(value);
        });
        prom.push(promise);

    });

    $q.all(prom).then(function () {
        callback();
    });
};

$scope.getAlbums(user, function(){
    // Totally works, bro.
    console.log($scope.albums);
});
