Wages of Sin
One of the best melodeath albums in my opinion. Almost every song here is great. | | 2 |  | Amon Amarth
Versus the World
A rather typical Amon Amarth album - not a bad time, but mind-numbingly unmemorable. | | 3 |  | Symphony X
The Odyssey
Definitely a good album. I'm not a huge fan of "old school" (pre-PL) Symphony X, so I'm not super crazy about it, but it's still undeniably a solid album.
[UPDATE]
The Odyssey is one of those albums I love more and more with each time I listen. It's definitely a fantastic album. Production is not the best and like I already said, I don't love the older, thinner musical style of early Symphony X. But it still manages to be a very very strong album, despite everything. Highlights are Inferno (Unleash the Fire), Accolade II, King of Terrors, and of course the epic 24-minute-long title track. | | 4 |  | Dream Theater
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Not very consistent and I can't say I really love every song, but the solid musicianship is still there and every song has a lot of aspects to love. The good songs are great however - the massive, disc-long title track is an amazing epic and a delight to listen to. But the highlight for me will always be the opening track, The Glass Prison - my favorite DT song and one of my all time favorite songs ever. | | 5 |  | Opeth
Deliverance
Opeth is a band I so desperately want to love, but fail every time. My main problem is that all of their songs sound so similar to me. I especially want to love Deliverance, as it contains the title track, which is one of my all time favorites. But after so many chances, I still can't bring myself to fall in love with it. I like everything here but nothing (other than my beloved song) is especially memorable or unique enough to stand out. I really hope I'll be able to finally see its magic one day.
[UPDATE]
While everything I wrote a few years ago is still true to a point, I came to appreciate this album - this band - much more and in a different way. This is a long process, but it's slowly happening. | | 6 |  | The Flower Kings

In Absentia
Going back in time from FoaBP and Deadwing - two great albums on their own - to this, this is a huge improvement. I absolutely loved In Absentia. Phenomenal album! | | 9 |  | Rush

In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend
Doom metal requires you to be in a very specific mood. I woke up today in such a mood and chose to give this album a whirl, and it did not disappoint. This is a fantastic album for its genre. | |
