Honourable Mentions
  • Metheny/Mehldau Quartet
  • Tomahawk – Anonymous
  • Dominici – O3 A Trilogy Part 2
  • Symphony X – Paradise Lost
  • Paradise Lost – In Requiem
  • Black Snake Moan OST
  • Radiohead – In Rainbows
  • Ministry – The Last Sucker
  • Kanno Yoko – Smooth in the Shell
  • Megadeth – United Abominations

Good, not great.

Disappointments of the Year
  • Dream Theater – Systematic Chaos
  • Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
  • Type O Negative – Dead Again
  • Velvet Revolver – Libertad

These albums are not bad. They just fall short of my admittedly high expectations.

Dishonourable Mention
  • Smashing Pumpkins – Zeitgeist

Not even “so bad, its good”, just mediocre.
