Hi. Im new to this forum, though Ive been on the stevesmyth froum for about a year. But the best albums in 2005 are IMO.
(in no specific order)

Nile - Annihilation of the wicked
Nevermore - TGE (though I like all the other Nevermore albums a bit more, BUT its definatly an amazing album!
Opeth - Ghost reveries.

couple things though, I do like aspects of this forum. I was just trolling a bit, I understood what the thread starter meant. Metalized is right, what was once referred to as simply Heavy Metal is now often known as "Classic" or "True" metal ala Manowar, Virgin Steele, Twisted Tower Dire (who all kick serious ass btw).

Twisted Tower Dire (who all kick serious ass btw).

I love seeing TTD's name showing up in this sort of thing. They deserve it.
