I agree with a lot of what's already been said, although I was personally disappointed with the new Opeth. A few good moments but far too much filler. Anyway, here's me list:

Eric Johnson - Bloom
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness (cheers to everyone who mentioned this one; total brilliance)
Moonsorrow - Verisaekeet
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

Coldplay - whatever it's called
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama

That's about all I can think of for now.

Jagga Jazzist - what we must
Turbonegro - party animals
Ulver - Blood Inside
Pain - Dancing with the dead
Sigur Ros - Takk
Antony and the Johnsons - I am a bird now
Bright Eyes
Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies
Sunn o))) - Black One
Napalm Death - The Code Is Red... Long Live The Code

and I would add Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel, and
the charmant
Devendra Banhart's Rejoicing hands, pure neo-hippsville jouissance!!
 
1. Kent - Du och jag döden
Kent goes back to the roots: there isn't shitty production and of course those awful true-pop songs are missing: Duett, Elite and the others.

2. Opeth - Ghost reveries
Opeth creates something new. Mellotrons are always sounding awesome.

3. Swallow the sun - Ghosts of loss
I don't know what to say? Nearly perfection, but there is again one bad song. Descending winters sounds too ordinary for this band.

4. Riverside - Second life syndrome
5. Depeche mode - Playing the angel
6. Porcupine tree - Deadwing
7. CMX - Pedot
8. Green carnation - Quiet offspring

It is shame that there isn't so much metal on that list, maybe next year...

Isn't Turbo Negro that gay sailor rock n' roll band? I always wanted to get into them. Don't they sound like The Hellacopters or something?

-Vince

N.P. Carcass - Pedigree Butchery


You are right, as a matter of fact, Turbonegro has a memorable song called "Sailor Man" which can remind you some words by Walt Withman "oh captain, my captain..." a hint of homoeroticism, however, Turbonegro is a killer band, and yes, they sound similar to Gluecifer or the Hellacopters, also, you should check King Midas....
