Album Of This Yaer

Wow, to pick one album is too much. In my opinion this has been on eof the best years for heavy metal in a long while. Death metal and Black Metal pretty much remain stagnant, sadly, but between:

Blind Guardian: A Night at the Opera
Agalloch: The Mantle
Dark Tranquillity: Damage Done

Not to mention Green Carnation and Halford: Crucible...shit and the new Opeth, it is too difficult. I cannot do it:mad:

You mean around half of the people who posted on this thread who obviously aren't? Anyway, my sarcasm obviously eluded you. Sculpted Cold was ridiculing people who are fanboys of In Flames and mention R2R. He himself has a Mudvayne avatar and sig, and I was making a quip at that.
