See why I called you a bitch? :wink:

Only a bitch would consider that good metal.

Best metal album in 2005. :cool:

I absolutely hated PtH when I first heard them, but over time I grew to love them. Don't write them off so easily.

I can see how people would hate them but Protest the Hero are awesome so those ppl are wrong.

Listen to Slough Feg.

I don't like PtH. They're not crap just damn overrated and annoying.

Nah, Kezia and Fortress have the most relistenability of any albums I've heard and Protest the Hero are leaps and bounds ahead of any similar-sounding bands, so they're not overrated.

Legacy Of The Night · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 1:38 am

Both of those albums are chock-full of "omg awesome" moments. I like Kezia more though, it seems more consistent than Fortress.

I think they're both flawed but on Fortress the lame parts make me think "Eh, lame" while on Kezia the lame parts are pop-punky stuff that makes me think "Aww, cute." Also the best songs on Kezia are towards the end while on Fortress they're at the start so that helps too.

Are we seriously discussing this band in a thread dubbed "good metal". Ugh, just reading their name makes my blood sugar level spike to obscene proportions and makes me feel like vomiting. I shall now avoid this thread like plague :wacko:

Fortress was in my top five of '08, but I'm kind of bored of it now.

Protest the Hero is a really great band and Rody's voice though weirdly unique really grew on me it's full of awesomeness.

If you like Trivium check out Sylosis

You seem to like melodeath judging by some of your responses
so check out:

Scar Symmetry
Hypocrisy
Darkane
Carcass - Heartwork album and swan song
At The Gates
Soilwork
Bloodbath

I agree with this, but dude, for someone that loves Avenged Sevenfold that is a pretty bold statement. :zzz:

I agree with ness and the Duchess that the best way to find some good metal is to explore more. Here's a few Heavy/power metal bands that may not have been mentioned so far.

1) Steel Prophet

2) Machine Men

3) Dio

4) Icarus Witch

5) Cydonia

6) Firewind

7) Bruce Dickinson's solo work

The best metal album of 2005? Honestly? That would be the same year as....

Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Exodus - Shovel Headed Kill Machine
Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
Kreator - Enemy of God
Deceased - As The Weird Travel On
Strapping Young Lad - Alien

Umm...yeah. I could probably go on. And those are just the ones that cater to my taste! I'm sure the various forumites could list many, many other albums more worthy of such praise than City of Evil.

Kamelot - The Black Halo and Dark Tranquillity's Character comes to mind...
