No AOTM.

Amorphis - Beautiful, as always. Also difficult to latch onto, as always. I like what they do, but it sounds too clean and perfect, and it's just missing a certain something.

Jelusick - Solid stuff. Dino's a great singer, and he has more good songs this time around. It's a bit too modern in spots for my taste, so it may not get a lot of spins, but he's on the right track.

Year Of The Goat - Another one that sounds great, but doesn't quite deliver the songs. The mood is perfect, but it doesn't have the hooks "The Unspeakable" did. That one looks more and more like a fluke.

Beth Blade & The Beautiful Disasters - This one is literally a half-and-half album. The party half is 'meh', but I like the moody and emotional half. I'm still waiting for her to deliver the album I know she's capable of.

Glenn Hughes - It's an album, yup. Pretty much the only time Glenn ever interested me as a singer was on the "Fused" album he made with Iommi.
