1 year later, Fav album of 2006

Listened to it for the first time a couple of days ago, and a handful of spins later I'm starting to realize its greatness. One of my first impressions was that this album feels a lot more coherent and consistent than Väre, which at times came off as pretty lost and lacking direction
 
As much as I love Väre, I agree. And Maaäet is fucking brilliant. I'm still amazed at the strength of the visuals my mind's eye produces while listening to it.

I should have some other people listen to it and see what their minds conjure. I did a similar experiment with Drudkh once and it was fairly interesting.
 
What's the general opinion on "Visions of Eden" by Virgin Steele at this point? I really liked it, despite the lack of metal. Good melodies, good vocals, just generally good songs.

My favourite is possibly Celtic Frost or Summoning. Not quite sure...
