This is harder to answer than most would think (by keeping it to just ten)… anyways, I guess these would be my top ten (for now).
Also I tried to choose just one album from a given band, otherwise my top ten would probably consist of just one or two bands.
1. Týr - The Lay of Thrym
2. Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
3. Within Temptation - Silent Force
4. Dragonland - Astronomy
5. Kamelot - The Black Halo
6. Stratovarius - Infinite
7. Timeless Miracle - Into the Enchanted Chamber
8. Dream Evil - United
9. Primal Fear - New Religion
10. Dragonforce - Ultra Beatdown
