Royal Hunt: X

I also love this album, the only bad part was how much I had to pay for it 30 bucks, but you know what it was worth it!!! Back to Square One! I get excited just thinking about it.
 
Glenn, how is it compaired to their last one? I liked the last one, but didn't love it. But right now your top 20 of 2009 is kicking my butt!!! Loving Mob Rules, Whyzdom, Southern Cross, Vangough, Lesprous, Appearance of Nothing, and Cain's Offering. Haven't heard those before and they aren't leaving my rotation. Would this make it in your list? (I didn't mention your melodic selections or Amorphis as I'm very familiar with those.)
 
...Appearance of Nothing...

We really need to get them for PPXII...

I haven't listened to the RH album. Thanks for the heads up. I thought Paradox II was ok, but didn't grab me anything like the original, which was just about a perfect album. Hard for them to top any of their early releases for me....
