I think you're right - it is DT's worst (or maybe tieing with Damage Done) but that doesn't mean it's not a great album. It's easily a contender for best of the year.
most solid metal album of 2007 so far?

i actually like the new DT album. I mean sure it its sort of samey to the last 3 DT albums, but overall it's quality Melodeath..

Can't wait for deathspell omega's release! But in terms of a really good release I've recently heard you should all check out drawn and quartered's "merciless hammer of lucifer" it's awesome!

You know, I can basically agree with you. I find that a lot of bands I once really cared for are now on the downside of their career...and even though the year is only half over, I don't see how it compares to the amount of great material that was released last year. Going back to what was said earlier, I had hoped that 2007 would be an even better year since more of my favourite bands were/are releasing albums this year. I can't say there's been one album that has truly impressed me.
new immolation=9/10
new nile=8.5/10
new behemoth=8/10
new symphony x= 8/10
that's all I've really heard TBH

Did you really think Fear of a Blank Planet was that bad? When I first got it, I put it on about once a day for a week, but haven't really gone back to it much since. Still, I remember not being outwardly disappointed. Not as good as Deadwing, but a solid 7/10 in my book. Too short, too few songs, and a bit lacking in emotional moments, but you can only dock so many points for what a band doesn't do vs. the music on the disc. Every other PT disc has 2 or 3 songs better than any on FoaBP, but it's not bad my any means.

Just listened to the new Pig Destroyer, it's outstanding stuff, but it's the only album I've heard so far this year.

That's a pretty reasonable assessment I think. But I didn't say it was a BAD album, I just said it was a big disappointment because I expected better. As I wrote in the non-metal forum, my biggest problem with the album is that it's generic prog rock. Porcupine Tree have, in my opinion, traditionally been at their weakest when trying to play heavy. 'Wedding Nails' was bad Dream Theater imitation, and 'Deadwing' was the weakest track on that album. And now they produce a whole album like that, of straightforward unmemorable rock.

No, this is not a case of 'poor album by DT's standards, but still a good album'. It's a case of 'great band, FUCKING SHIT album'. I can't listen to this at all. And I've loved every DT album so far.
Zephyrus
Tyrants and Slaves
I plan on getting this when it comes out later this month. How's it compare to Reign of Light or Eternal?

Regarding Peste Noire...I like the album but I feel it doesn't compare to previous album and earlier material. I was quite disappointed with 'Folkfuck Folie' but it is still a good album compared to other black metal. I'd probably give it a 7.5 /10...
Also I was disappointed with the Sombre Chemin EP, after they had just released a brilliant album last year. Two of my favourite current French BM bands, hopefully they can both get back on track.

Dark Tranquillity's, Devin Townsend's, Despised Icon's, Job For A Cowboy's and Laethora's outputs impressed me greatly, but I have to give it up to Funeral's From These Wounds. An amazing album of melodic doom with male vocals that don't suck. Very atmospheric and each note is played with heart and soul, and no wankery crap. DT's Fiction comes in a very close second.
