You bought a lot of great stuff bro. I dont want to be a pain but some are not from 2007 like ARMY OF ONE by RIOT, and HELLRAISER by KROKUS, they are from 2006.

Ok, don't have the Krokus. Just assumed it was from this year.

The Riot came out in '06 in some countries. My copy says 2007.

BEST ('07 releases bought):

Ultimatum - Mechanics of Perilous Times (RM)
Deliverance - As Above So Below
Ultimatum - Into The Pit
August Burns Red - Messengers
Becoming The Archetype - Physics of Fire

OVERALL FAVORITE (most played) PURCHASES OF '07
Ultimatum - Mechanics of Perilous Times
Becoming The Archetype - Terminate Damnation
Living Sacrifice - Conceived In fire
Deliverance - As Above So Below
Living Sacrifice - S/T
Living Sacrifice - Reborn
August Burns Red - Messengers
August Burns Red - Thrill Seeker
Sacrament - Haunts of Violence (thanks Brian!)
Vengeance Rising - Human Sacrifice (okay, don't ban him, he can stay)

Gosh this all your fault Scott, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE CREATED?!?!! LOOK AT ME!!!!

Ohhh,i didnt know that at some places the RIOT album came out in 2007. Strange i think. Buy that KROKUS album because its great Scott. It was my fave album from 2006 together with the last HAMMERFALL album(THRESHOLD).

My final list (as if you care)

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=84279809&blogID=337708418

I have made the decision to wait for the new Thunderstone, Primal Fear, Allen-Lande, and Gamma Ray to be released in the U.S. so I will post my final list:

1. Nightwish-Dark Passion Play
2. The Showdown-Temptation Come My Way
3. Helloween-Gambling With The Devil
4. Rob Rock-Garden Of Chaos
5. Grave Digger-Liberty Or Death
6. Amorphis-Silent Waters
7. Therion-Gothic Kabbalah
8. Nocturnal Rites-The 8th Sin
9. Iced Earth-Framing Armageddon
10. Kamelot-Ghost Opera
11. Sonata Arctica-Unia
12. Symphony X-Paradise Lost
13. Masterplan-MKII
14. Vision Divine-The 25th Hour
15. Dream Theater-Systematic Chaos
16. Daath-The Hinders
17. Ultimatum-Into The Pit
18. Epica-Divine Conspiracy
19. After Forever-s/t
20. Megadeth-United Abominations

I feel guilty in rating most of these and leaving out so many because I've liked every release I got this year but there you go. If Allen-Lande's new one was in my hands and was as good or better than the debut it would be in first place but since It has yet to reach American shores, I will wait.
