My top 5 albums from every year since 2000 w/ my rating out of 10. Does not include singles, EPs, live albums, etc. The notable omissions are in no particular order and have received a rating of at least 8.0. There are a few years that I don't have very many albums from but I'm working on expanding that. Please make recommendations! I put a lot of effort into this list and would love some feedback. Always looking for new/more music. I will update this list as needed.
-- Thanks.

Here is my provisional favorite-metal-albums-of-all-time-list! Enjoy!
The first 10 albums are in pretty accurate order. However, after that, it becomes harder and harder to separate the albums clearly. Thus, you can say that I enjoy album x on the list as much as the others in the interval of (x-5) to (x+5). For example album 37 would be as much enjoyed as 32, 33, 34, ..., 42, or something like that.

1. Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

2. Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor

3. Grand Alchemist - Intervening Coma-Celebration

4. Opeth - Blackwater Park

5. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

My version of The Epics (Best Songs Over 10 Minutes) only this time it's more The Epics (Songs Over 10 Minutes) because we kept griping to PG and he wouldn't update his list. According to his profile he hasn't been on in... 371 days. So I thought "Hey, why not do it myself?"
Arranged by time. If you feel or know a song should be on here, let me know. I'm a mainstream fag, so I only listen to the popular stuff. I might have missed some bands.

1. Be'lakor - Stone's Reach

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader

4. Nile - Ithyphallic

5. Nightwish - Once
