| My Top 20 This Year
Everyone else is doing it, so why not? | | 1 | | Be'Lakor
The Frail Tide
Yeah, that's right, an unsigned band has made the best album of the year. Almost incomparable in terms of atmosphere, amazing riffs, great vocals, every track is a joy to listen to. | | 2 |  | Souldrainer
Reborn
This never ceases to blow me away, the choir is epic, the vocals are amazing, the actual song writing is fantastic, almost perfect. | | 3 |  | Moonsorrow
V: Havitetty
Another fantastic album, only missing out on the top spot because of it being so demanding, this is still great music though. | | 4 |  | Dark Tranquillity
Fiction
DT have never made a bad album, they've never even made a good album, all of them are amazing and this is no different. | | 5 | | Sigh
Hangman's Hymn
A fantastically maniacal record, so fun to listen to and I've never heard anything quite like it before. | | 6 |  | Oceans of Sadness
Mirror Palace
Wonderfully different from anything else I've heard, you have to listen to this even if just out of curiosity. | | 7 |  | Amorphis
Silent Waters
Took everything from Eclipse and improved on it tenfold, great production, better vocals, better riffs, just a great album. | | 8 |  | Rotting Christ
Theogonia
Release early in the year I still haven't grown tired of this gem, melodic black metal with excellent classical elements without being overly symphonic, good stuff. | | 9 | | The Project Hate
In Hora Mortis Nostrę
Envoking imagery like I've never quite felt before, this album has stayed in my head thanks to the transitioning from brutality to beauty so brilliantly. | | 10 |  | Fear My Thoughts
Vulcanus
A versatile, catchy, furious and consistent album that really started to get me into melodic death metal. | | 11 |  | Kenos
The Craving
A mixed album that despite the lackluster vocals, manages to impress me due to the brilliant instrumentation and strong strictures. | | 12 |  | Nightingale
White Darkness
A really good album for chilling out to, progressive rock done well. | | 13 |  | Ensiferum
Victory Songs
My first cd by them, and I love it. Catchy folk metal meets powerful death metal and makes a truly stunning ride from start to finish. | | 14 |  | Between the Buried and Me
Colors
Although it is grossly overrated, this album is still very, very good, mixing a lot of progressive influences with powerful metalcore. | | 15 |  | Arch Enemy
Rise of the Tyrant
I loved it at first, in fact, I had it as album of the year for a short while. But now, I have grown distant of it, were it not for how much I loved it at first it wouldn't be here. | | 16 |  | Raintime
Flies and Lies
Read above. | | 17 |  | Thurisaz
Circadian Rhythm
Although a bit of a let down considering their previous album was jaw-dropping, this is still a great experience. | | 18 |  | Naglfar
Harvest
Simple melodic black metal done well, might not be the most unique album ever, but it certainly is a good one. | | 19 |  | Graveworm
Collateral Defect
Another great black metal release, this one just as good as 'Harvest', thoroughly enjoyable. | | 20 |  | Swallow the Sun
Hope
It took it's sweet time but this finally fought it's way into my top 20 at the last second, might be at the bottom of the list but still a great album. | |

12.21.07 | 3 and 5 are awesome, but everything else is kind of :/ | Crimson
12.21.07 | Your opinion, my opinion, I agree that 3 and 5 are awesome though. | BallsToTheWall
12.21.07 | Quite a fe people dislike Raintime who I forgot to add. A great album it is, along with 2,4,5,10,17,18,19, and 20. Shit, I forgot to listen to 1, especially 6, and 8. I want 6 and 8. | Crimson
12.21.07 | I feel inclined to ask though, have you even heard 1 or 2? | Crimson
12.21.07 | that last comment was at iarescientists! :D | McP3000
12.21.07 | 4, 14's descriptions are spot on
15 gets a 3.5 from. | Zoo
12.21.07 | Pretty good, there's a decent amount here I would include in mine. | masscows
12.21.07 | Props for 5 and 8 |
