Guitar albums? DragonForce and Trivium should be far above Muse.

I disagree. Sure, they're got the speed, but Knights Of Cydonia was arguably the best rock song of the year. Ah well, opinions and all that jazz.

Its also worth posting the Reader Awards in the same issue.

Some of those list are a bit wrong...I mean Riff of the Year and there is Mastodon's Iron Tusk which is about 2 years old song. There might be other stuff wrong too but some of those list's were ok.

And I agree that Synyster Gates is wasting his talent in Avenged. He is obviously the most talented guy in the band and some of the songs would be pretty boring without his guitar playing. I hope they improve their stuff with the next album, especially the singer has a lot of improving to do, IMO.
