      Agreed that Ultraviolet has a killer solo, but I think Hybrid Earth may have quite possibly the sauciest solo I've ever heard. Also, whether you like them or not, Ashes of the Innocent by Bullet for my Valentine is right up there at the top with them. Those 3 songs, the solos work so well with the music as a whole and compliment it wonderfully but are also righteous by themselves.
