Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
Fish - 13th Star (tie)
Marillion - Somewhere Else (tie)
Rush - Snakes And Arrows
Iona - The Circling Hour
The Flower Kings - The Sum Of No Evil
Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet
Magic Pie - Circus Of Life
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement
Sylvan - Presets
Glass Hammer - Culture Of Ascent
Shadow Circus - Welcome To The Freakroom
Kaipa - Angling Feelings
The Puppet Show - The Tale Of Woe
Blind Ego - Mirror
Circa - 2007
Knight Area - Under A New Sign
Amaran's Plight - Voice In The Light
Galahad - Empires Never Last
Blackfield - Blackfield II
Pain Of Salvation - Scarsick

Unfortunately, YNDIes' EP is from 2006. If it would bt from 2007, I'd have no problems with defining The Album of the Year


UPD: wait, you gave only 4 stars to Frames?


Oh, I'll have to change that on my iTunes then....

Yes, I really like Frames, but I think 4 is my rating for it.  I thought 4 stars was excellent?

Unfortunately I do not own that many albums that were produced in the year 2007, but I pretty much like The Roundhouse Tapes by Opeth (which is a live-album actually) and Ab-Dul by Pent**ter...
