I recently went through my collection to locate all 2004 releases. I'm surprised a lot of the ones I have are barely mentioned. Especially since I have awesome tastes in music. 
Capricornus - Alone Against All
A lot of people probably thought this was NSBM in the vein of Thor's Hammer. But I actually read that this isn't NS, but simply anti-gov't, anti-establishment, etc. It's actually a pretty good thrashy black metal album.
Misery Signals - Of Malice and the Magnum Heart
Not surprised this isn't talked about. It is metalcore, after all. But with 2 ex members of 7 Angles 7 Plagues, I couldn't resist. It's pretty good, but it's no 7A7P.
The Ocean - Fluxion
This came out of no where, and I'm still not sure what I think. It's good, but it's a difficult listen kinda like older Neurosis and older Isis.
Stand-Up Guy
Well, other than me and lots of Irish guys, I think this one went unnoticed. A Shame, really, as I still enjoy it, and it'll probably make my Top 10.
Dargaard - Rise and Fall
Their weakest album IMO, but still, I was surprised no one talked about it.
Cult of Luna - Salvation
This one got overshadowed by Panopticon methinks. Still, a very good album.
Red Harvest - Internal Punishment Programs
I thought a bunch of people were waiting for this one, but I guess not, as their has been limited talk about it. I thought it was good, but it's no Hybreed.
Monster Magnet - Monolithic Baby
I like it, and I think a bunch of people in this forum would enjoy it.
Forefather - Ours is the Kingdom
This one seemed to have gone under the radar. I enjoyed it, and no one talks about it. Not their best, but a very good effort.
Woodtemple - Call of the Pagan Woods
Very good album, but maybe people were waiting for Graveland. Dunno....
Bergthron - Faust Fur Faust
Probably a Top 10 for me, yet only a handful of people have checked it out.
