most solid metal album of 2007 so far?

So far...my top 5 metal albums are:

SACRIFICA MORTUORUM • Maturum Est
CONTROL HUMAN DELETE • Terminal World Perspective
WALKNUT • Graveforests and Their Shadows
SCARS OF CHAOS • Humanitarian War Machine

and maybe...
NAGLFAR • Harvest
A bit disappointing and I'm not currently 'into' the album as I was when it was released but it's still very good.

I've listened to a lot of albums, and as it was months ago, the year has still been relatively disappointing. I'm trying to assemble a top 20 list but I always find these difficult to make. I mainly listen to black metal so the list is most likely to consist largely of black metal if I do get around to making one.
 
Devildriver - The Last Kind Words

Probably my #1 for this year so far.

You know, I didn't mind them a few years ago despite a lot of the flak they got. But the new album, maybe they just don't have any appeal to me anymore, but I thought it was pretty mediocre compared to their previous two releases. I think Dez should vary his vocals more.
 
WALKNUT • Graveforests and Their Shadows

I liked this one a lot to.

My top 5 favorites this year so far is

1. Sigh - Hangman's Hymn
2. Anberlin - Cities (not metal, they're a christian rock band and they're amazing!)
3. Wolfchant - A Pagan Storm
4. Dark Tranquility - Fiction
5. Alcest - Souvineirs
For 5th favorite metal album it's going to be DSO - Fas

By the way, DsO's lyrics are mega-Satanic. Better stop listening to them.

No, DDs new album is their best. Did you not notice the increased quality of the songwriting?

Like most people who knock Devildriver here, probably not. They just assume their shit sucks because of the first album.

Well, I don't mind their first album because it was kind of a 'fun' album if that makes sense. Their song writing ability is obviously getting better, but I think 'Fury' is a better album overall than the new one. But like I said it could just be me losing interest in that band because I got nothing out of their new one. Perhaps I'll give it another try, but I just wish Dez would vary his vocals more.
