Cralde of Filth - Thornography ...was a horridly mediocre piece of shite.

Listening to it now. Almost through the whole thing... and yeah you are right.

I was just wondering, what didn't you like about the new Evergrey album?

I agree... That has to be the best album of 2006, followed clossly by With Oden on Our Side.

The worst? To be honest (as has allready been said) I can't remember shit albums...

Best: Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Threat Signal - Under Reprisal
Cannibal Corpse - Kill

2006 was kind of a slow year for me... In Flames - Come Clarity was okay i guess.... i dont normally remember bad albums.

To be honest, I really do not know. Something about it doesn't click with me. I just got bored with every song after "In Rememberance".

2006 was VERY slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It ended off strong though. I listen to I - Between Two Worlds repeatedly.

Bloodmountains second side was wicked. amon amarth was a blast. When did satyrcon's volcano come out? best intro ever. I also loved that demo collection from chuck from death. deicide and unearth blew me away, and so did the sword. Btw, marz volta's new one (like 2005) is spinning right now.

I thought the new Cannibal Corpse sucked for the most part. Might have to give it another listen, but I just haven't liked them for a long time.

Blood Mountain was kickass, the new Isis was kickass, the Meshuggah re-master was kickass. I don't remember a whole lot from last year. It was slow, but when it was good, it was good.

I thought the new Katatonia was awful, and I like a lot of their older work. In Flames can kiss my ass, they suck as well but that's nothing new.
