[progmetalgod]

Dance of Death - Iron Fucking Maiden!

That was last year.

My fave release of 2004 is Threshold - Subsurface, followed by Ayreon - The Human Equation.

 

[Jax]

In no particular order, mine are Ayreon - The Human Equation, Michael Pinnella - Enter By the Twelfth Gate, Threshold - Subsurface, and Dead Soul Tribe - The January Tree. Wow..go IO, that label had a nice year for music.

Megadeth - The System Has Failed gets honorable mention as well.

 

[Rose Immortal]

I have to add Ayreon--The Human Equation to my favorite albums list. KsE still has the sentimental edge, but it's clear The Human Equation is the most accomplished album of what I've heard this year. I will be writing a review of it soon, and when that happens, I'll find the Ayreon thread and post it.

 

[The Yngster]

[Katastrophik]

]Hypocrisy - The Arrival
Megadeth - The System Has Failed
Into Eternity - Buried In Oblivion (GOOO TIM!! {P.S. Amazing Guitarist...Even better friend})
Kataklysm - Serenity In Fire
Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake
Evergrey's Inner Circle is one of thies best releases to date.

ICP's Hells Pit's is awesome. <ducks>

 

[Katastrophik]

p.s. yeah wasnt happy with the new evergrey actually.. found it deathly boring.

Really? I thought it was an outstanding album. Very dark, very well written. But to each thier own right?

 

[Iced_Guardian]

Have to agree with Katastrophik, about evergrey,

except ICP sucks......

as for favorite cds: hmmm.....

Nightwish - Once, Megadeth - The System has Failed, Susperia - Vindication, Beyond the Embrace - Insect Song, Into Eternity - Buried Into Oblivion, Blaze - Blood & Belief, Hypocrisy - The Arrival, Kataklysm - Serenity in Fire, the list goes on.....

I wish i could add Iced Earth into that list,
