Most of the Dream Theater albums from that period are great imo.

I even had an easier time with avant garde metal, since I actually like plenty of experimental metal, whereas I had to stop myself from chucking albums that probably deserved to be on this list that I just didn't give a **** about (I'm lookin' at you, Tool and Opeth.)
1. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
2. Death - Symbolic
3. Cynic - Focus
4. Voivod - Nothingface
5. Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine: Biomech
6. Opeth - Blackwater Park
7. Tool - Lateralus
8. Mastodon - Crack the Skye
9. Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
10. Gojira - From Sirius to Mars

List looks ok but Dream Theater should be on there, so the haters can vote them off in the first round
As for the two off the list:
Cryptopsy
Nile
