[@Altered Tundra]  Matt Barlow is an absolute legend.  And not just for his range either.  Few vocalists can deliver such an impassioned performance like he can.  Perfect example: A Question of Heaven.
The Dark Saga is my favourite Iced Earth album too. :D

Stu Block in his own right is an incredible vocalist with a fantastic range, but I can't help but feel he's woefully underutilized in Iced Earth.  Jon seems happier to have him do a (to be fair, quite good) Matt Barlow impression rather than let him come at the songs his own way.  I was personally hoping for a return to Night of the Stormrider's sound, which I think Stu would have absolutely nailed, but Dystopia still turned out to be a pretty enjoyable album.  Wasn't so into Plagues of Babylon, but it too had some decent material.
