While absorbing the genius that is CoB Hatecrew Deathroll, I got to wondering: What are your top 5 releases so far this year?
EXCLUDING OPETH!

Mine, in no particular order-
1-Children of Bodom-Hatecrew Deathroll
2-Marduk -World Funeral
3-Naglfar-Sheol
4-Omnium Gatherum-Spirits and August Light
5-Moonsorrow-Kivenkantaja

I'm sure I've already forgotton a few

Opeth won't even make my Top 500 for 2003. "Damnation" is a snoozer.

1. Evergrey - "Recreation Day"
2. The Gathering - "Souvenirs"
3. The Devin Townsend Band - "Accelerated Evolution"
4. Kamelot - "Epica"
5. O.S.I.

I think that's it... might be forgetting something...

Have to admit that Andromeda's "II=I" has really been sinking down the list for me lately...

I'm sure Enchant's "Tug of War" will easily make my Top 5 when it's released July 29.
 
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller
Devin Townsend - Acclerated Evolution
Ehpel Duath - The Painter's Palette
Mors Principium Est - Inhumanity
Arena - Contagion

...

(very bottom of list)

Helloween - Rabbit Dont Come Easy
fuck this worthless shitty album!
