Don't have a no. 1 album of the year yet, but these are my highlights so far (in no particular order):
- Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
- Detonation - An Epic Defiance
- Daylight Dies - No Reply
- Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
- Rapture - Songs For The Withering
- Anouk - Graduated Fool
- Dark Tranquillity - Damage Done
- Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness (it's from 2001, I know...)
- Darkane - Expanding Senses
Disappointments of the year:
- Opeth - Deliverance
- Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
- Myrkskog - Superior Massacre
- Sentenced - The Cold White Light
These albums don't downright suck, but came nowhere near what I expected/ hoped them to be.

Seriously why are half the people posting choosing Opeth's Deliverance? Call me a fool and stone me but I have Still Life, Morningrise, and Blackwater Park and I really was never able to really get into Opeth..they kind of bored me. Then I heard that Deliverance was different..it was all just the "brutal" if you will, side of Opeth. So I said hell yeah I'll check this out and it bored me way more than any of the three albums I mentioned above..Someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong here..please..

I try, but when you read raving reviews and hear everyone praise an album before you heard it, it's hard not to become hopeful (happened with Nile).
Troll??!
Relax, don't take it so hard.

Hmm... I don't think I need to put this, their votes topping the question, but, my vote would go to one of the three, Opeth, Nile, or Dark Tranquility. I can't really decide. If it means anything, I'm leaning more toward Nile at this point.. but only cause I'm listening to them.

sure the 'Huldrafolk''s worth a mention, even played in a more nervous & darker way, I though noticed 'Heathen' because it's made of an unique endless track that evolute from abyssic to pagan atmospheres without the least break, hellgood!
