Damage Done followed closely by A Night at the Opera (which is, imo, the second best Blind Guardian album).

I voted In Flames because thats the only album from that selection I've even heard.
(Why do I post here even though I know no DT except for about 14 songs randomly selected off each album, of which Insanities Crescendo is my favourite...nobody knows....)

RTR is exactly what I expected from In Flames. A really shitty, boring album. After Colony they sure did get....repetative and generic.
But Damage Done is a great album, not amazing, but still great.

I like RtR.

(edit: But I'm more impressed by In Absentia by Porcupine Tree. Has anyone heard this spectacular disc? Man, I love it so much, the music is so beautiful while at the same time overall being the scariest, creepiest album I've ever heard...it gives me the chills, especially those creepy spooky lyrics. Heh...I'm an Opeth nut and I like it even better than the new album...which I may or may not have...

I'm disturbed by that image but my vote goes to DT's -The Gallery by far. They should take AM-PM's slogan cause that album is full of "too much good stuff!!"

Static's semi-review thingy of In Absentia:
Well....more details about Porcupine Tree, ok. Well, their main singer is Stephen Wilson who has produced Opeth's BWP and Deliverance CDs, and he sang a large part of the song Bleak. PT's music is not metal, its more like progressive music in the vein of Pink Floyd, and its also very reminiscent of the style of Radiohead's OK Computer. Their latest CD is In Absentia, which was recommended to me by people on the off-topic forum. Well...its not metal, but dammit, it is brilliant. Every song is a classic, and like I said, its creepy because the album tells the story of a young man growing up and slowly but surely going crazy. There are little hints throughout as to his growing madness, and he becomes a serial killer. The first line of the album itself is very creepy:
"Mother sings a lullaby to a child,
Some time in the future the boy goes wild"
Also, the CD has some very heavy moments, unlike any of the other Porcupine Tree releases which have little to no distortion. According to main man Stephen Wilson, working in Opeth's CDs gave him the idea to use heaviness in PT's music, and it adds an awesome new aspect to their sound, which was already seemingly at its peak on another of thier albums called Light Bulb Sun, which was also brilliant. Look into In Absentia, you will like it, trust me.
Well...thats that. I only wrote this much because I am so impressed by this album at present. Love it!

Wow, I didn't know that Stephen Wilson was singing in "Bleak".
Anyway, I have only one song by Porcupine Tree, "Even Less", which I like very much.

although I listen to Damage Done quite a lot out of all of Dark Tranquillity's albums, I say it is not their best. Every album of their's I have, with each one I devoted much time to it....I had to, more than just music to me, Stanne's material and some of his writing style appears, to me, similar to mine. You know what to do, all of you do DT...how a song is done...democratic indeed .
