Best Albums for 2006 ?

[prowlergrig]

metal album of the year for me is definitely enslaved - ruun.

 

[Ice_T's_Bobblehat]

Deicide - The Stench of Redemption
Morrissey - Ringleader of the Tormentors.

An unlikely couple, but 2 very good albums.

deftones
mastodon
katatonia

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

I'm not trying to be that asshole prick who writes stupid shit just to rile people up, but 2006 was a sub-par year for metal IMVHO. A lot of great shows, but I think the only CD I actually purchased was the new Strapping Young Lad, which was pretty good, but nothing compared to the records that came out last year....Are You Dead Yet?...TGE, etc

I agree. I was going to post my favorites, but after I looked at them I found out they all came out in 2005....
