Ok, so I think it is safe to say that most metal releases for 2007 are out.
Every forum has a favorite album thread.
Let's get more detailed, and do a FAVORITE SONGS thread.

I love it! Very cool vibe on many of the songs. It's not as experimental as Seven Seals. I also think that the "strong" songs on this album are the strongest PF has ever had. I rank the albums I have like this to maybe give you an idea:

Nuclear Fire
Primal Fear
New Religion
Jaws of Death
Devil's Ground
Black Sun
Seven Seals

 

[Diabolik]

Avantasia - "The Story Aint Over"
Helloween - "Can Do It"
Helloween -"Heaven Tells No Lies"
Elvenking - "The Divided Heart"
Wuthering Heights - "Sleep"
Turisas - "Five Hundred and One"
Turisas- "Rasputin" ....I know it is a cover...but a good one.
Turisas - "A Portage To the Unknown"
Nocturnal Rights - "Call Out To The World"
Metalium "Spirits"

Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful

I just saw the video for this song.
That song/video sealed the fact that this band simply is not for me.

The female / male vocal switch does not work.
WAY too much of a contrast.

Maybe they do it better on other material or with Tarja.

 

[ShadowLioness]

YES.

As for my favorite songs...that's really tough for me. From the other posts I have seen here, I can definitely say that "Rain" by Novembers Doom is one of them. That song is so beautifully evil.

Dark Tranquillity owns me every time. I was also introduced to Raintime this year, which has been a surprise favorite of mine.
