[Nebulous]

A few to mention. I can't decide on one.

Dark Tranquillity- Fiction. Such a solid release. In my opinion they seem to have packed their whole career into one album, yet still made it sound fresh.

LORD- Ascendance. Another solid album. Lots of singalong songs building on the style Dungeon had me hooked on, while also moving forward - slightly.

Eyefear- A world full of grey. A huge step forward from their last album, which was good, but felt abit tedious in parts. Lots of great songs.

Hm, a few additions/ special mentions

Amorphis- Silent waters. I was affraid this one would sound too similar to Eclipse, but there was enough progression in the sound while still maintaining all the element I enjoyed.

Nightwish- Dark Passion Play. Great first album with the new singer. Thought they might go all mainstream, but instead they released an album with some good songs and some really awsome songs.

Voyager- uniVerse. Another Aussie band. Picked this up after seeing them live and was totally blown away. Great porg/power without the ball tearing vocals and a melodeth vibe at times. Quite unique and a nice change.

 

[Djabthrash]

Eyeless - the game of fear (check it out : www.myspace.com/eyeless)
Down - 3 : over the under
Alabama thunderpussy - open fire
Animosity - animal
The black dahlia murder - nocturnal
Bloodsimple - red harvest
Wisdom in chains - class war

overrated record of the year : machine head - the blackening

slight disappointments (bands i dig, good album but not as "awesome" as expected) : last chimaira, last nile

disappointment : hatesphere - serpent smile and killer eyes (not that bad but quite disappointing compared to their previous releases), aborted - the chondric enigma

huge disappointment : last Queens of the stone age album (SUCKS ! )

I just listened to Porcupine Tree's "Fear of the Blank Planet" once again and i'd like to add it to my "best metal albums 2007" list.
The song "Way out of here" is AWESOME. Drumming is brilliant also.
