for anyone who put meshuggah's new album i feel sorry for you, this year wasn't THAT BAD was it!? that is a very boring album, sorry just my thoughts.

I think it's the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life. I guess it just takes a bit of concentration to extract the beauty.

were going to have to kill you for not putting alien on your top 10

There wasn't enough room with only ten! I wanted to put M.I.A.'s Arular, Public Enemy's New WHirl Odor, NIN's With Teeth and Alien in there but you know....

supergrass - road to rouen
oasis - dont believe the truth
depeche mode - playing the angel
ulver - blood inside
peccatum - the moribund people
syl - alien
sigur rós - takk
opeth - ghost reveries

im sure there were more

Alright, I'll be the first DTB member to post his fave records of 2005, now that we are in 2006 ! Here's my official list....

SYL - Alien
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama

Biomechanical - Empires of the World
NIN - With Teeth
Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Nah...... I love listening to everything I play drums on but I think it's kinda' cheesy listing your own material as your fave records of the year. I love the Non-Human Level and Lalu releases and am very proud of both albums ! I guess they deserve honourable mentions for the list

Although....... I'm going to have a VERY hard time trying not to list Synchestra as the best, if not one of the best albums of 2006 !!! Synchestra goes down as one of my top 10 albums of all time !!!! No lie either !!!

RVP

wow no one said "Enter The Chicken" - Buckethead and Friends (Serj Tankien being one of those "friends").

I just noticed this... I haven't heard of this album. I really dug his last one... uh.. Population Override. How does this stack up to that?

Spocks Beard - Octane
SYL - Alien
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position


i want to include Riverside and Ephel Duath but i didnt hear them yet

I actually just heard Ephel Duath last night and I'd like to add that too
