thats my top 15-20ish... I was disapointed in the new Opeth... I tried so hard to like it, I even understand why other people like it, but it just does nothing for me :[. And the new Soilwork had awesome drumming (dude from Scarve is nuts) but I didn't like much else (maybe if they'd kept the guitar solos =\)
