13:37 - Roman Doez

The 90s and 2000s were the best period for metal but I'd say the 2020s are a pretty solid third place for me at the moment

13:36 - Roman Doez

The 2010s were a relatively weak decade imo but so far I'd say the 2020s are faring pretty well

12:53 - Ch'ti

The only problem is that a lot of old albums only have the year and not the month provided in the database

12:52 - Ch'ti

And I just saw @Liafev comment about the month filter and I think it's a great idea

12:47 - Ch'ti

I think metal has declined for some years, but 2024 and 2025 were definitely the best years of this decade yet. So maybe the following years will follow this tendency?

10:48 - TheBigRossowski

Maybe I'm living through the Heritage years then. We'll see how I feel in about 15 years from now :D

10:32 - Oreshkov

That's what Mikael Åkerfeldt said.
