I can now add Iced Earth's DYSTOPIA to the above list.

I edited my list slightly. Laura Marling's "A Creature I Don't Know" just pushed the Graveyard album off the list.

I've come to the realization that I was totally wrong about this album. I revisited it over the weekend and it finally "clicked". Might be worth checking out again sometime.
