Dream theater's new album was to my suprise very good. I didn't like Octavarium at all.
Also Porcupine tree was a nice listening, their best so far I think.
The new one from Trouble has also been frequent guest in my cd-player, good songwriting and faithful to their old sound.
Most disapointing so far this year is Sonata arctica - Unia. I can't believe how they could put out such a piece of crap they used to be a favorite band of mine.
New Grave digger was also disapointing.
