2. Evergrey - "The Inner Circle"
3. Pyramaze - "Melancholy Beast"
4. Nightwish - "Once"
5. Mercenary - "11 Dreams"

Other rock-solid releases: Dreamscape, Silent Force, and Magnitude 9.
 
Not in any order here's what I think were the best this year:

Threshold - Subsurface
Pink Cream 69 - Thunderdome
Angra - Temple of Shadows
Edensbridge - Shine
Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night
 
Dreamscape - End of Silence
Angra - Temple of Shadows
Edguy - Hellfire Club
Fates Warning - FWX
Mob Rules - Among the Gods

I'm still waiting to hear the new Sonata Arctica, Twilightning, and Silent Force. I have high hopes for each.

Biggest Dissapointments:

Pain of Salvation - Be (Remedy Lane, this is not.....)
Evergrey - The Inner Circle (Weak, compared to their other releases)
 
So far this is what I have been listening too a lot, although this could change at any time. :)

Mercenary - 11 Dreams
Nightwish - Once
Fates Warning - FWX
Riverside - Out of Myself

High Hopes: MECHANICAL POET - WOODLAND PRATTLERS

He said nothing about being released in 2004! I just assumed that it was your personal top albums of the year.

In that case I'll have to find a spot for "Whispers in Rage" on my list ;)
