I don't believe in illegal downloading of easily available albums, so this list is only albums I have actually purchased and own a hard copy or official download of. The order is VERY fluid, and in all likelihood, wrong. But oh well....

Coming soon: Comments for each album & finalised order for the year...
45.
1.
Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg
This album makes we want to dance, and not a dubstep crossover in sight...genuinely a wonderful record.

Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
No, it's not original, but it is beautifully written and every song has a moment of class. Love it.

Septicflesh - The Great Mass
Some interesting ideas, and a highly accomplished and polished performance, but Metal + Orchestra does not always = Genius. Not enough actual riffs or high quality songwriting for my liking.
45.
42.
Cauldron - Burning Fortune
Don't get me wrong, I like this album, it's fun (and cheap) and produces warm feelings of nostalgia. But it's hardly revolutionary.
45.
43.
Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning
I'm hoping this grows on me - Mr Wilson usually delivers - but so far it's a struggle to stay awake.
45.
44.
In Flames - Sounds Of A Playground Fading
"Ropes" has one of the best riffs they've ever written, but In Flames keep sliding round the downward spiral...
45.
45.
Opeth - Heritage
I've tried to enjoy this on a number of different levels - metal, prog, 70's worship, folk - but I'm sorry, it's just mind-numbingly boring!

Obscura should be MUCH higher up and Dream Theater should be closer to the bottom (in my opinion)
