What is the best album of the year so far?

[Lutz]

Agalloch - The Mantle

 

[Luis Henrique]

MEGADETH - RUDE AWAKENING

 

[NordicStorm]

So far (so good, so what):
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
Star One - Space Metal
Cornerstone - Human Stain
Def Leppard - X (laugh all you want )

 

[Seventh Son]

Steve Morse Band - Split Decision

 

[Harp Heaven]

Threshold- Critical Mass

Ï`m getting more and more into it.

 

[Liquid Tension]

Porcupine Tree's In Absentia is out and being pushed by the cd stores in NJ! If you like Spocks Beard style of progressive rock then you should give this disc a try except that you'll be angry that you wasted your money on the SB disc. LOL

 

[KameloX]

I'm taking my Rude Awakening back to the record store.

Nocturnal Rites' Shadowland is the best album of the year. They don't need to do much, just release an album sometime during a certain year and it's number one for me. NBC, A Night at the Opera, those were pretty awesome. Can't wait for The Odyssey, plus Kamelot's new one, Stratovarius, Nevermore, Helloween, and is Masterplan's debut out yet? I need to check that out!

Porcupine Tree slays the wimps in Spock's Beard.

1. Pain Of Salvation - "Remedy Lane" (Sweden, Inside Out Music America)
2. Enchant - "Blink Of An Eye" (USA, Inside Out Music America)
3. Porcupine Tree - "In Absentia" (UK, Lava)
4. Amaran - "A World Depraved" (Sweden, Listenable)
5. Tad Morose - "Matters Of The Dark" (Sweden, Century Media)
6. Soilwork - "Natural Born Chaos" (Sweden, Nuclear Blast)
7. November's Doom - "To Welcome The Fade" (USA, Dark Symphonies)
8. Threshold - "Critical Mass" (UK, Inside Out Music America)
9. Into Eternity - "Dead Or Dreaming" (Canada, Century Media)
10. Arabesque - "The Union" (Netherlands, Lion Records)

I would have never dreamed at the advent of the year that my Top 10 list would not include the new albums by Angel Dust, Vanden Plas and Dream Theater.

Wow, there have been so many good ones so far...let's see, new Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Daylight Dies all come to mind--

but none of these even come close to The Odyssey.
