I'm just having such a hard time with my Top 10 because the first four deserve the #1 spot so hey screw it, I'll make all of them #01! Threshold, The Gathering, Katatonia and Borknagar: All masterpieces.
I'm over a year late with this but let me add my .02 and say that MOP is absolutely killer. This is my first exposure to Threshold and this style of music (I'm mostly a death/black/thrash fan) and I can say that I am hooked. I listen to MOP almost daily, and have for over a year now. Every song is killer and the vocals are just outstanding. The songwriting is fresh and the songs are so FUN to sing to. It's just a great record in all regards. I am very much looking forward to the new album in September. Now that I know this forum is here I'll be a regular for sure.
