 Yet Another Useless Folking List

This is the folk edition of the lists I make to keep track of my own preferences and possibly make diehard fans of the genre cry with my apparent ignorance and incorrect opinions. There may even be some crossover with my black metal list, because I live for the thrill of committing horrendous musical crimes.

1. Forefather - Ours Is The Kingdom
2. Forefather - Steadfast
3. Eluveitie - Origins
4. Eluveitie - Slania
5. Chthonic - Takasago Army

MetalMac's Top 10 Overlooked Albums

I'm a sucker for great hooks and catchy choruses. Some bands from this list will show that. Furthermore, I love technical, percise performances. I love the rise and fall of a song where the mood changes with the volume and pace. I love break downs and build ups to lyrically meaningful climaxes from the album's story. My number one, I believe, does all of that. The sound Anthriel is producing could, and maybe should, rival bands such as Symphony X and Dream Theater.

1. Anthriel - The Pathway
2. Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
3. DGM - Different Shapes
4. It Bites - The Tall Ships
5. It Bites - Map Of The Past
