bad year for most bands I say, even my top ones I am conflicted over.

Sonata Arctica - Unia = Cool for the most part, but where is the power metal? I like it cause it's more unique and defined but they sound more "rock" now. Not as shredding. "My Dream's But a Drop of Fuel For a Nightmare" was a masterpiece though, fuck yes.

Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diaboli = I liked the songwriting, themes, riffs but in it's entirety I was not too amazed. The production is far too top40 - poppy. The Serpentine Offering shreds but is also the most "Big Single"-targeted black metal song I have ever heard. It was made for radio play. I liked The Sacreligious Scorn and The Heretic Hammer.

Dark Tranquillity - Fiction = Was cool, but they have lost their edge now I think. They havn't changed or anything, just nothing new or interesting. Focus Shift and The Lesser Faith I liked a lot.

Sadly, these were my favorite releases this year, I'm sure there are tonnes I didn't hear, or didn't think of. I haven't been on top of whats coming/is out these days... :( - Wed, 14 Nov 2007 5:14pm

Pig Destroyer- Phantom Limb

My favourite album out this year, by far.

Then, Wintersleep- Welcome to the night sky.

Next, 3 Inches of Blood- Fire up the blades.

Then.. Iron & Wine- Shepherd's Dog

And OBVIOUSLY Radiohead blah blah blah - Fri, 23 Nov 2007 11:53pm

"Lunar Aurora - Andacht"

Oh hell yes. Not only one of the best of 2007, but one of the best of the last decade.

Add also-

N.K.V.D. - "Diktatura"

Fen - "Ancient Sorrow"

Wolfhetan - "Entrückung" (2006, close enough)

That's all that comes to mind right now, with the exception of a few that Sedlec has already mentioned.
