Melkor · 01-03-2007, 07:33 AM

Best albums are:

1) Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth.
2) Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death.
3) Edguy - Rocket Ride.

Average Releases:

Just one, Grave Digger - Liberty or Death.

Disappointing:

Rhapsody of Fire - Triumph or Agony.

I haven't yet heard Amon Amarth's 'With Oden on your Side', so I can't comment on it. That's about all.

Did anyone else listen to new one from Rx Bandits? It's called And The Battle Begun, it is rather good.

yeah, the new rx Bandits CD is pretty good. I think its the whole energy of the album that makes it so good. They just know how to structure music well without getting artsy.
