2004 Top 10 album list

[Chasm]

Is that new 1349 any good? I've heard about it, but if it's a repeat of the last one than I don't want it.

Sorry for getting back to you late on this, dude. Actually, the production is alot better and it's alot more listenable. It has a much fuller sound to it and the songs are alot more memorable and catchier. It still has the same amount of agression and feel to it, though. Definately check out some MP3s before you fork out the cash for it.

 

[Scott Evil]

No particular order:

Hypocrisy - The Arrival
Ill Disposed - 1-800 Vindication
Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine
Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
Divine Empire - Nostradamus (pretty sure it was a 2004 release in Australia)
Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix
Motorhead - Inferno
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness, Words of Light

Not 10; they are the only 8 new releases I managed to get my hands on this year. Tasmania sucks balls for getting metal music, and it costs me $40+ to get stuff over the 'net :hotjump:

 

[Herman_theGerman]

01 my dying bride - songs of darkness, words of light
02 pentagram - show em how
...?

 

[insidethefall]

The new Opera IX is quite good, even without cadevaria

Blackfield....how does it sound Tinus??

...check out Blackfield (didn't see it in your top-10): www.blackfield.org, in the sound-clips section you can listen to samples from all songs on the album.

If you like Opeth's "Damnation" and Porcupine Tree, you should love it, it's mellow stuff..

 

[coronerox]

Yes indeed.

Are you familiar with Avec Tristesse?? Nice, good to see that other people are apreciating their work.

For those who doesn't know, it's really worth checking it..


@MadTinus: thanks for the tip...I'll look for it

It's actually lacking the edge of those bands, I know it's wilson's band and all but I found it a bit boring.

Listen to it more, it's a real grower. The track Blackfield is just awesome.

 

[The Scourge]

cheerz mate for the list!

the two of us have a lot in common

(shite, this one sounded too gay hahaha)

Brilliant minds think alike I say I just love masturbating my ego you know. Have you heard Switchblade from Sweden btw? Yet another Swedish entry into the Mogwai/Isis world of instrumental melancholy.

on the whole, there were some really good albums this year, beside the ones mentioned above i could call some others...

really overwhelming was the paatos release... i love it...

Paatos, Blackfield and Bloodbath are among the best albums I bought this years. I haven't bought many albums actually but I have to agree that among the ones released this year these are really amazing!

 

[Deliverance6]

I know that this is a 2005 release but it should be mentioned....Aeon Spoke is the shit....former members of Cynic.....Pual wrote it while doing music therapy for the dying and you can definately tell in the music....very mellow.

 

[daimonion]

Yeah, Aeon spoke is a really comfortable listen. For interested people, check out three full length (i think) songs on http://www.aeonspoke.com/

 

[MadTinus]

bloodbath - r t c

Shouldn't that be "n m f"? "r t c" is from 2002..

 

[shark]

yeah, i actually thought of n m f, just wrote the wrong thing

As I posted on this thread a little while ago, I was really amazed by Aeon Spoke. I even thought of editing my 2004 list to include it. But after repeated listens, I found that the lyrics are a bit too rehashed and predictable for me. And the real disappointment came with the codas of each song; they are nearly all identical!!! By saying this I mean that each song ends with a repeated vocal phrase of the chorus and a gentle pianissimo of the motif. This is not to say that I don't enjoy it. The music is very warm and organic. If it were tweaked just a tad more.....

 

[salisbury]

Riverside, Paatos, Blackfield, Flower Kings, The Tangent, IQ, The Amber Light, Archive ,Ayreon, Björk, Proto~Kaw, and all the great albums I forgot;

Uh, I just remember a storm called Raunchy...

Next year will be ruled by Porcupine Tree and hopefully Katatonia and as far as I'm concerned Primordial...
