Really hard decision for me to make. I relistened to both albums a couple of times. Jane Doe is brilliant and reveals more with multiple listens. But Arkangel also have more than meets the eye, especially all the subtle tempo changes where the band shift gear together just slightly. And as Batlord was alluding to, that amount of kickarseness is by no means an obvious thing to achieve, many have tried and failed. So it's with careful deliberation that I vote off:
Converge
