So Far So Good...albums of 2006

Skizoo · July 20th, 2006, 10:23 PM

It's been quite a good/average first half of 2006.

Still to come are albums from Haggard, Iron Maiden, Manticora, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Megadeth, to name a few. Share here you'r top albums of 2006 so far.

At the top of my head I can only remember the following:

Coldseed - Completion Makes the Tragedy
Blind Guardian - A Twist in The Myth (promo)
Duel of Fate - Don't Leave This World
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Before the Bleeding Sun
Liv Kristine - Enter My Religion
Elvenking - The Winter Wake
Adagio - Dominate
Evergrey - Monday Morning Apocalypse
Beyond Fear - Beyond Fear
Dark Sun - El Lado Oscuro
Saurom - Juglar Metal
Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black Progress
Pyramaze - Legend of the Bone Carver
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Brother Firetribe - False Metal

IMO some disappointments were:

The Gathering - Home
Theatre of Tragedy - Storm

And yes...I'm kind of bored and I don't feel like updating some bands today haha.

Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black Progress
Strapping Young Lad - The New Black

Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance

Dysrhythmia - Barriers and Passages
Andromeda - Chimera
Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years
The Mars Volta - Amputecture (not out yet)
Prototype - Continuum
Hypnotheticall - Promo 2006
Yakuza - Samsara
Sikth - Death of a Dead Day (though disappointing compared to the last)
Kopecky - Blood
Textures - Drawing Circles (good, not fantastic)
Lacuna Coil - Karmacode (decent, not great)

Need to hear Thessera and new Novembre still, and probably a few others. I've been buying mostly stuff I missed over the last few years, to be honest, so I haven't kept up with 2006.

oh yeah, that Persuader is pretty good, and the new Communic too. I should check out that Agalloch sometime.

Skizoo · July 23rd, 2006, 11:34 PM

If your going to check out Agalloch...you MUST OWN the album "The Mantle". Downloaded or buy it, whatever...it's a masterpiece.

Listen to it in a calm, quiet place...with some candles on and ....before that you could listen to some Sade to get in mood...j/k

. Anyway...uh

....gotta listen to it, later!

I have all 3 of their earlier ones on mp3 already. I'll probably pick 'em up someday, but they're not a huge priority to be honest. Good stuff, but not as great as others make them seem. Of course, more listens might change that opinion.
