As you might remember my friend, we had one album in common last year as well.
The sign of times...
15. Metal Church - XI (Probably should be higher but I haven't spent enough time with it beyond the 2 singles and one listen-through)
11. Megadeth - Dystopia (Nice return to form)
10. Hammerfall - Build to Last (Same vein as Revolution, just not quite as good)
3. Primal Fear - Rulebreaker (As good as their last, which I loved)
2. Avantasia - Ghostlights (Their best since Scarecrow, pretty frigging awesome)
We got those in common but a different positions.
