i have the album, and i only really liked symptom of the universe and hole in the sky, the rest
is meh and uninspiring

The best Metal albums of 2007 for me are:

Sirenia ~ Nine Destinies and a Downfall
Shadows Fall ~ Threads of Life
Ozzy Osbourne ~ Black Rain
Echoes of Eternity ~ The Forgotten Goddess

Arch enemy - Rise of the Tyrant
Apocalyptica - words collide
Epica - The divine conspiracy

Machine Head-The Blackening.
Pig Destroyer-Phantom Limb (not strictly metal I admit).

i personally did not find Black Rain very good. I like the old classic Ozzy. But i suppose its never too late for a change.

Velvet Revolver - Libertad
Megadeth - United Abominations
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
Marilyn Manson - Eat me, Drink me

^ you fail
at metal
Mayhem was good
Skinny Puppy is industrial...
Idk Metal needs to be heavier

The Blackening.
No more needs to be said.
One of the best albums ever made.

Dark Passion Play was great but Tarja will be forever missed :(

Best of last year for me:

Neurosis - Given to the Rising
Blut aus Nord - Odinist
Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying
Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters
Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today
