Self Explanatory... | | 1 |  | Dan Swano
Moontower
Amazing but little known Progressive Death Metal. Dan Swano is at his best, playing every instrument on the album. The keyboards are a tasteful touch. | | 2 |  | Protest The Hero
Fortress
Ok, do i need to explain this? It has too much to describe! | | 3 |  | Soilwork
Figure Number Five
Slightly better than their 2 most recent releases, this album has more original rhythms and catchier melodies, in a non-annoying way. Also, you can hear the keyboards much better. | | 4 |  | Down
Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow
Got it second hand, its a pretty boring album if youre looking for something special. But good for general background metal. | | 5 |  | Opeth
Watershed [Special Edition]
well, it's Opeth. | | 6 |  | Dream Theater
Images and Words
I admire the creativity in this album, even though some of the melodies are cheesy and overblown. | | 7 |  | Tool
10,000 Days
An awesome trip through progressive rock/metal intertwined with Ambient parts for an almost psychedelic feel. | | 8 |  | Meshuggah
Obzen
I can't get enough of their odd rhythm patterns, powerful low chug, and Jazzy Soloing. Tomas Haake is one of my favourite drummers, and i am glad they didnt use a drum program for this. | | 9 |  | Porcupine Tree
Fear Of A Blank Planet
Call it Prog Rock, or call it Prog Metal. Regardless, this album has enough "wow" moments and spacey guitar and keyboard work to be hoisted into my favourite albums of all time. Steve Wilson is a hero. | | 10 |  | Iron Maiden
The Number Of The Beast
Not what it is all hyped up to be. The shorter songs are standard Iron Maiden fare and are just generic. However, the longer tracks (Hallowed, and Children of the damned) and Run To The Hills save this album from the delete key. | | 11 |  | Iron Maiden
Brave New World
Now here's the reason i love Iron Maiden! each song is different, and has plenty of interesting parts to keep you entertained. The solos and singing are top notch. | |
