מבחינתי לפחות זה אכן היה המצב. נהנתי מרוב האלבומים שציפיתי להם:
Systematic Chaos של you-know-who
Isolate של Circus Maximus
Sola Scriptura של Neal Morse
The End is Begun של 3 היה הפתעה נחמדה עבורי
The Roundhouse Tapes של Opeth
Dead Reckoning של Threshold
Scarsick של PoS לא היה מה שציפינו לא, אבל גם לא היה הכי מאכזב.
Paradise Lost של Symphony X - כנ"ל.
Snakes & Arrows של Rush - לא הכי אהבתי...
קיבלנו גם הפתעה בשם Liquid Trio Experiment
