Yep, the letdowns outweighed the surprises for me.

The biggest let-down was Lacuna Coil's "Karmacode". Make no mistake about it, Comalies was Lacuna Coil's best album yet. Karmacode just sounded so...forced...You could pick the good songs on one hand.

Mike Patton's "Peeping Tom" was very underwhelming. Since Tomahawk's first album, Patton's material has gone downhill at a
horrifying rate. Most of the Peeping Tom album is just directionless. He is wasting such a good voice on such bland music. The only good song was "We're not alone" which at least sent the album out in the right way.

A big surprise for me was the uncovering of a potential great band in Madder Mortem. Their latest album "Desiderata" continues where "Deadlands" left off. Madder Mortem will prove to be a force in years to come.

The pick of the albums of 2006 for me were;

Green Carnation - The Acoustic Verses (outstanding acoustic album)
Isis - In the absence of truth (garden of light.....yesssss!)
Devin Townsend Band - Synchestra
The Gathering - Home
Unearth - III: In the eyes of fire
Madder Mortem - Desiderata
Amon Amarth - With Oden on our side
Dredg - Live at the Fillmore
Ra - Raw (live)
Converge - No Heroes

Most overated album of 2006 - Mastodon - Blood Mountain tied with Into Eternity - Scattering of Ashes
