Both albums were in my original top 10, and both are fantastic, but I give the nod to Anathema.

Road Salt. While not POS's best work I still give it the edge. Anathema's album stops delvering after track 7.
"Once he had forests and mountains that were only his - listening to him. Once he would run through the summer days catching memories for ages to come. Now he is dressing this naked floor with his flesh and blood, and time passes by. His trade of pain might just have lead him to deal with consequence for some change as time passes by"

 :eek

Never imagined these would be the top two albums. I'm going with Road Salt, but I haven't heard Anathema.

I guess I should get it, if that many DTFers like it.

Since RS1 has been my number one all along, it definitely gets my vote here.

Anathema, Road Salt One was a pile of garbage at best.

Road Salt. Really excellent album, and the more I listen to it the more I like it.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

I <3 Pain of Salvation, but sorry, Road Salt One does not even come close to comparing to this new Anathema album.

Anathema. I wasn't blown away by either one, but WHBWH is definitely better than RS1.

Quite surprised that these were the top two as well.

Thank you for joining the "surprised club" as the founding member I voted for Anathema. I've heard neither album but I loathe P.O.S so there was no way in hell I was voting for them.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.

Or you could just not vote, seeing as you have no relevant, actual opinion. But whatever.

Voted for Anathema. But not only because I consider POS crap, but because Anathema is amazing, and my greatest musical discovery in recent years. 11-10 now.

Anathema. Pain of Salvation is one of my favourite bands but I found Road Salt One to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year. It wasn't awful or anything, but it wasn't great.

We're Here Because We're Here, on the other hand, was great. It only made #8 on my top ten list, but it's still superb.

Damn, I need to add Heligoland by Massive Attack to my top 10 list off of this year.
