One question... why only MS featured albums? Weren't there any that aren't feartured here worth mentioning?

Posts: 9125 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 16.12.2009 at 02:36 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

Posts: 9125 Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01 Complex as in technical and/or progressive? yes indeed, I really like this kind of stuff Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01 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... Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01  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

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

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

"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"

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

The only good Mastodon album is Remission, the rest is overindulgent masturbation.
