They brought a lot to the table with Shogun and I still cant put that album down.

I have to buy 98% of the CD's I get to review. I'm not one of the bigger metal sites that has people sending them cds left and right. TRust me, I would love to learn of more "Underground" acts with a good sound because it's mostly underground, mediocre metalcore bands that are flooding the venues right now.

If anyone's interested in that sort of thing, by all means, check it out.

Not that I don't agree with some of the albums on that list, but seriously... too generic. There were loads of amazing underground metal albums released this year. I think Arsis & Opeth would be the only 2 from your list that I would hold in a real top 10. I'm even sketchy on the Opeth one, because it wasn't anything spectacular, but I think I would throw it in there for the fact that Mikeal prooved that he IS Opeth and can carry on the band himself.

At the same time I didn't want to make the list too long.

I've listened to it far more times than Bloodbath. Don't get me wrong, I obviously like Bloodbath, but I've only listened to it a handful of times. Amon Amarth's Twilight' is great...just as good as With Odin ON Our Side...but it's just like WOOOS. Great but not great enough for me to put it up any further on my list.

How did A Sense of Purpose beat out Amon Amarth AND Bloodbath? I overwhelmingly agree with this list…with the exception of #5. How did A Sense of Purpose beat out Amon Amarth AND Bloodbath?
