Thornography - Cradle Of Filth

Through Chasm Caves And Titan Woods - Carpathian Forest

More traditionally-minded songs still sound weak by comparison.
Through The Ashes Of Empires - Machine Head
Heavy Metal - 2003
Opera Arias
Classical - Opera - 2003
Octavarium - Dream Theater

Now 68
Loads of Great Songs
Some rubbish ones
New Wave - Against Me
Highly energised, tightly packed slab of contemporary rock, with no indie influence in sight.
Relies on older styles as much as it forsakes the modern.
Navajo Joe - Ennio Morricone - Soundtrack
An infectuously wild and fun spaghetti western from the pen of the maestro
Slightly repetitive, but not to any great detriment
Long Road Out Of Eden - Eagles
Completes your eagles collection
Alot of filler tracks.
