Regular Hellfest reporter, occasional albums/concerts chronicler, I (strangely enough) listen to a lot of metal. And enjoy good beers, comics and role-playing games.

It was easier that way. Then I checked to see if I missed stuff, and then 2 more popped up (DKay.com and Lofofora). It would have been 2 more albums again if I did include non-metal albums (Vagrant Story OST, in the top 10, and The Dark Knight OST) |

Lots of complex releases here Seeing Akercocke at 17 was really cool, I think it's at times drastically variable album, but it has their best work on it IMO. I know lots on MS like the latest Kreator disc, but I just can't see it being better than say... Unexpect's album, which you have just 2 down from it 
I'm curious why you like your #1 so much, is there something personal related to the album as well? Its progression from the previous disc? I'm curious also because I checked your ratings (10s) and noticed it must have increased for "Gloria" since your initial review here on MS. And also because you have Enslaved's "Vertebrae" at a 10 as well, but it's much lower in your list  |

That's because on the whole I prefer Kreator's album over Unexpect's. Just a matter of songs I don't like on the album in fact, who influenced the final order...

My voting need to be reworked 
As for Gloria, when it came out, I listened to it about 7 times a day for nearly one month, I just couldn't listen to it enough. And this didn't happen since... Probably since I discovered Skyclad way back when I was in high school. Also yes, I quite relate to the album, as I consider it part of the perfect soundtrack for a fantasy (well modern-urban) world I created.
Last thing, when I wrote the review, I tried to rate it objectively... |

Glad to see Coprofago there, it's odd since I'm not really into that kind of stuff.
I preffer Coprofago over Meshuggah XP |

Ah well, it's the only album of theirs that I know, but I really like their use of synth guitars and jazz interludes... |

Beyond Twilight's "The Devil's Hall Of Fame" is pretty cool.  |

And Section X too. But I still haven't listened to the 3rd album... |
|

|
| Aside from Gojira & Blind Guardian, I can't say I really agree with anything on this list... |

No surprise when it comes to someone with tastes as lame as yours...
But OK, I'll agree, Inferno IS good. |

"Gloria" defo deserves to be on the list, but number 1??? Gotta love "Textures" and "Lurking Fear" though. I quite like your taste usually, so I'm gonna check out some albums on your list (=
Don't really like iced earth though other than "Something Wicked" |

Gloria, yeah n°1 it's pretty mandatory for me, as I explained in one of the posts above...
And so, you want to check something? Have you listened to Alchemist yet? |
|
|
|
| Actually, I have because you've been ranting on about them on enough posts for me to rmbr, though I was disappointed tbh. But with music, either it clicks or it doesn't. That's how I see it anyway. I did not like Lazarus Bird either btw. Too complex? I don't think so as I dig some other hard-to-digest stuff as well like To-Mera |

To-Mera
Speaking of click-or-not, I still can't really get in their music. Same as Mastodon... |
|
|
|
| Oh wow... that's new... a staff member that is not really into Mastodon lol I can't get into them too XD |
|
|
|
| The only good Mastodon album is Remission, the rest is overindulgent masturbation. |
