Fellas! Metal is a diverse thing. You really can't be a hardcore metal fan and listen to only power metal and thrash per say. One must find the metal sound in all kinds of genres.
I used to only like thrash (big 4 + testament), which slowly expanded to death (Carcass,Death) which lead to liking of melodic death (At the gates, Soilwork, inflames) which completely blew the door wide open for me once melodic vocals came in to the mix. Even things like Slipknot and Korn are A-OK Metal in my books.
Its really down to the albums now and which is a good album of that genre and which isn't. Some monumental releases in the last year for me were Fear Factory's Mechanize, Helloweens Sinners, Arch Enemys Kaos Legion, Soilworks last album...
Some disappointments were Inflames's and Trivium's new album, Children of Bodoms new one...

Trivium released an album last year ? :/
If you're talking about In waves, yeah I agree..It felt like a half hearted effort. Ascendancy and Shogun were just fantastic imo...
And I agree that metal has a shitload of sub-genres and everything... I was just a little annoyed by Xen...thought he was one of those really annoying people who think screaming your ass out = good metal.
Anyone looking forward to the new machine head and mastodon albums set to release this year ?
