Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue - fitting successors to the Layne Staley era.
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Blind Guardian - Imaginations Fromn The Other Side
Iron Maiden - The X Factor - Let down by weak wattery sound more than Blaze Bayley.
Iron Maiden - Virtual XI - Let down not only by sound but by repetitive songs. Still there is some good stuff on it.
Pantera - Reinventing The Steel - perhaps my favourite Pantera album. It flows well and all songs are pretty memorable. There's some awesome bludgeoning riffs too.
