| Amazing album. It is expansive, chaotic and beautiful. The drummer is a god-damn machine and the guitarists can play some really technical riffs. But the quality that makes this album so good is the songwriting, which is almost perfect. Now, if only they'd cut out most of "Ascension" and left out "Infinite Sunset of the Sleepless Man", this would be a Perfect album. |

| Dark Tranquillity The Gallery |
| The Gallery was the second melodeath album I ever listened to (the first being Lunar Strain by In Flames). Like most of my favourites it took me a long time to start appreciating it (2 years is a long time). But the fact cannot be denied that in terms of song-writing, the quality of those amazing melodic riffs and the vocals, this album was superior to anything ever done by any other band at that time for this genre. Truly, an album worthy of being in any and every Melodeath (or even heavy metal) fan's CD collection. |

| Jeff Buckley Grace (Legacy Edition) |
| I picked this up after reading countless comments about how Toby Driver sounds like Jeff Buckley and I think I picked up one of those albums that'll stay with me throughout my life. Jeff Buckley was indeed someone who deserves all those hyperboles and massive praises showered upon him and seeing the Chicago Live and listening to Sin-E after this only reinforces that fact. |

| Symphony X The Divine Wings of Tragedy |
| Just the title track would be enough to rate this album a Classic, but the fact that Mike R. will astound you with his shredding, solos and chugg-chugg-chugg riffs throughout the album, while Mike P. lays down some sweet classical keyboard lines and Mr. Allen just plain slays with his macho (there really is no other word for 'em) vocals, should be enough of a reason for any Prog. Power enthusiast (or anyone who just loves neo-classical or even heavy metal) to listen to this album. |
