Either Deadwing or Fear of a Blank Planet at the moment. Deadwing has Lazarus, Arriving Somewhere, and Start of Something Beautiful. FoaBP has My Ashes, Anesthetize, Sentimental, and Way Out of Here.

No love for Fear of a Blank Planet?

I forgot to mention the album Let Me Introduce My Friends by I'm from Barcelona. Sure its not a musical masterpiece but it is the most happy and catchy album I have heard this decade so far.

I respectfully disagree since I've never seen a more happy and snappy album than Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion"

I don't know. You said yourself the metal thing is getting stale and this album felt really straight forward, metal aside. I liked the concept that Steven tried to create, but I wasn't that impressed with it overall. In Absentia was amazing in that you would never guess the lyrics were so dark, fantastic closer, mid-album instrumental, great dynamics. I never liked it that much because I felt it was too long, but once I listened to it with the lyrics it all blew my mind.

Yeah I agree In Absentia is amazing, but I have a soft spot for Lightbulb Sun personally since it was the first CD of theirs I got. Their metal sound is getting a tad tiresome, so I see what you are saying. I still iike Fear of a blank planet, I just hope their new one The Incident mixes things up a bit. A 55 minute long song with no diversity and styl changing will become boring. I dont know what they are doing with the 55 mintute song but I look forward to seeing it.

I'm looking forward to The Incident, as well. I'd imagine they know if they're going to write a 55 minute song, it can't be stagnant. However what was wrong with Fear of... wasn't that it was too metal, it's just that it didn't do anything exciting. I love metal, but Fear of... sounded really boring imo
