What is the best album of the year so far?

[Soul of Ice]

Its a hard question because i personally dont feel the quality of this years albums can compare to last years albums. The good ones that come to mind are Superior, Archetype, Falconer, Star One, and Engine.

my vote goes for Engine cause that is just one hell of a rocking album, with great singing by Ray Alder

I easily know what is going to make everyones number 1 list this year (the band featured on this board) but until then, Engine is no. 1 for me this year.

 

[Soul of Ice]

oh yeah and pain of salvation remedy lane was really good too, but good in a different way. you know what i mean?

Pain of Salvation = God
Therefore, best album of the year must logically be Remedy Lane.

 

[Pure Evil]

Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera
