Necrophagist - Epitaph (2004)
Technical music at its most intricate. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the songwriting and mediocre vocals are on par, but this is one of my personal favorites. Probably the finest example of neo-classical guitar-work in metal. Orgasmic stuff.
Also search for "Onset of Putrefication" on this blog for an earlier (and arguably better) example of Muhammed Suicmez's unbelievable skill.
My favorites on this album are "Stabwound", "Epitaph", "Only Ash Remains" (check out the mental bass solo at the beginning and some Prokofiev at the end) and "Symbiotic in Theory".
