Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything It's insanely progressive, it casts singers of every range and gender, and follows a beautiful story arc encompassed in Arjen's traditional Science Fiction and Folk sound |
|
2.
|
Iron Maiden - Brave New World Maybe its' heretical, but modern Maiden is by far my favorite. Brave New World displays excellent musicianship as well as excellent lyricism. Flawlessly executed |
|
3.
|
Evergrey - The Inner Circle Perhaps the most bleak and oppressive album, the concept and story combined with amazing production and Tom's pained vocals and lyrics are truly a dark beauty to behold. |
|
4.
|
Obscure Sphinx - Void Mother Spastic, random, chaotic, yet well thought out. Dark, vague atmospheres hover above you as bipolar music varies from crushing you to lulling you to sleep. |
|
5.
|
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor A riff-machine, brutal and unrelenting. Warrel is at his best here vocally and lyrically, simply a triumph of Modern Metal in ever facet. |
|
6.
|
Nightwish - Wishmaster A classic, the melancholy and beauty of this album is so unique and Tarja's amazing voice will bring tears to your eyes. |
|
7.
|
Epica - The Divine Conspiracy A bombastic album full of destructive riffs, soaring vocals from Simone and pummeling growls from Mark. Some extreme nostalgia will forever be in here for me. |
|
8.
|
Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera The most uniquely produced album...Maybe ever for me. It's so colorful, and every member is firing on all cylinders. 1000 layers meshed into perfection. |
|
9.
|
Sybreed - God Is An Automaton Dark, heavy, and smart. The last album by Industrial sci-fi Titans Sybreed is their best and most concentrated effort. Nary a single song is weak. |
|
10.
|
Opeth - Still Life An excellent balance of Progressive, Death, and even Black tendencies. Superbly written with a great concept behind Mikael's writing |
