I would say that Creed has done pretty well with their new CDs. Same with Hole. (But only because Courtney stole Kurts’ music…)

I personally would have to go with Gomez’s _Liquid Skin_. Or maybe Death in Vegas’ _The Contino Sessions_? The Roots’ _Things Fall Apart_, definitely. No, wait a second. I take that back. The Flaming Lips’ _The Soft Bulletin_. That’s my final answer.

## There’s lots to choose from, but cuurently I’d pick Dream Theater - Metropolis Part II. I’ll get back to you if I think of some more.
