The Haunted rEVOLVEr
Trash juice in audible form. "rEVOLVEr" (emphasis on "evolve"), huh? Only evolution going on here is the kind that turned the T-Rex into a chicken.

Wintersun The Forest Seasons
No sense of direction, and the worst mastering you'll hear in a while.

Wintersun Wintersun
Jari bringing the chops. Solid, fool-proof, staple sounds for a melodic death/folk metal sound with some really nice creativity and unique elements thrown in the mix (i.e. "Death and the Healing" solo).

Soilwork The Ride Majestic
Tops TLI, but definitely not a masterpiece. However, the album is absolutely... majestic (pun intended).

Spock's Beard Snow
What a great way for Neal Morse to bounce from Spock's Beard. This album is extremely strong in its strong points, which are numerous (special shout-out to the mixing and mastering). The only flaw holding it back from an extremely high status is the fact that some tracks could be either shortened or absolutely removed from the album for it to avoid having DAS (double-album syndrome).

Spock's Beard Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep
Not as good as Snow, but pretty damn good in itself. Ted Leonard is an excellent replacement to Neal Morse. The music is excellent as always with Ryo Okumoto in particular displaying some of the best performance behind the wall of keys that you will hear in Progressive Rock. And as always with any Spock's Beard album, the mixing and mastering is absolutely fantastic.

Soilwork Sworn to a Great Divide
So you thought STD was bad? Oh no, this is worse. When I heard this album, I feared Soilwork were headed the In Flames route by getting more and more washed out with every release and claiming such BS to be "evolution." However, TPB began the rather quick route to the best Soilwork sound ever (TLI and then even better, TRM). This release by itself, however, is cancer. YUCK!
