Top Ten Albums of 2006!

Ok well the other thread is dead so I'll conform to this one :p
But not in any order...And yeah I said Thursday...:p

1. Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
2. Mastodon - Blood Mountain
3. Grave - As Rapture Comes
4. Suffocation - Suffocation
5. Enslaved - Ruun
6. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
7. Thursday - A City By The Light Divided
8. Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion
9. Amorphis - Eclipse
10. God Dethroned - The Toxic Touch
 
So far...

Cult of Luna-Somewhere Along the Highway
Genghis Tron-Dead Mountain Mouth
Isis-In the Abscence of Truth
Jesu-Silver (EP)
Katatonia-The Great Cold Distance
Mogwai-Mr. Beast
Mono-You Are There
Red Sparowes-Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun
Russian Circles-Enter
The Gathering-Home

What can I say... 2006, the year of Post Rock?

As far as Dolorian's sound... it is really hard to describe. Their debut CD was like a really spacey mix of black metal and doom. On their S/T album the vocals are all done in whispers, but the spacey, flanging guitars are still their. The new CD seems to be a mixter of both. I am sure that it will be one of my top 10 of 2006, but I haven't heard it in its entirety yet. Very unique stuff.
