Agent Steel - taken by force (Skeptics Apocalypse)
Solitude Aeturnus - shame on the night (Holy Dio)
Kamelot - creation (Dominion)
Evergrey - rulers of the mind [live] (A Night To Remember)
Cathedral - tree of life & death (The Garden Of Unearthly Delights)
Emperor - towards the pantheon (In The Nightside Eclipse)

Wow, a very very metal Today :-) (Thou shalt not question the eternal wisdom upon which Today choses)

My God, Emperor's 'towards the pantheon' is an epiphany of Metal! This intro is something that you never forget once you've heard it. What unbelievable genius. Oh, Emperor...

I said it before and I say it again, Tarja Turunen's album is really good. The track featured here, 'sing for me', has a great melody line and is just completely epic and cool and well done. So much better than the new Nightwish album, and I'm not saying that because of personal preferences regarding that big fight and break up. Even if I seem to be the only person on the planet: this is so much better than "Dark Passion Play".

I didn't understand one single second of the Cathedral track, and I so wanted to... But this album just doesn't work. The Kampfar song was very impressive - this must be a great album to hear in winterwoods. I've yet to hear the rest of "Kvass", but this song was amazing. And then the Symphonic Diva Metal package at the end - that was a great session! And Dragonforce were funny, too ;-)
