40. Chimaira - "The Age of Hell"
Chimaira's sixth album was recorded during a turbulent period with lineup changes, infighting and almost breaking up. What was produced was dark, brooding groove metal, and a much stronger record than anyone expected.
39. Sum 41 - "Screaming Bloody Murder"
Since the departure of Dave "Brownsound" Bakush in 2006, Sum 41 have struggled to recapture the form of the early material that turned them into megastars. "Screaming Bloody Murder" went in a new direction, harder than before, bridging in a melodic hardcore sound that showed a newfound, and very welcome maturity.
38. Queensryche - "Dedicated to Chaos"
"Dedicated to Chaos" split fans of the band down the middle, with some praising the more straightforward rock sound, while others harked for more progression. What the album delivered, was a strong collection of vaguely progressive hard rock songs, and while not up there with the band's very best work, is still a nice addition to their catalogue.
