The Official Best Albums of 2006 Thread..(Many merged threads)

Anybody have any opinions? I just realized I haven't really heard any rap/hip-hop albums from this year, but I'm looking to get my hanRAB on some. I've heard conflicting opinions on Idlewild, and I'm wary about a lot of the other suggestions I've heard.

So, give me suggestions.
 
Best albums are:

1) Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth.
2) Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death.
3) Edguy - Rocket Ride.

Average Releases:

Just one, Grave Digger - Liberty or Death.

Disappointing:

Rhapsody of Fire - Triumph or Agony.

I haven't yet heard Amon Amarth's 'With Oden on your Side', so I can't comment on it. That's about all.
