Album of the Year...... so far?

Couldn't really pic any stand outs ( I was hoping Octavarium (DT) would have been, but its not very strong :( ) Steve Vai's latest was good

What was the deal with the new Holy Moses?

I downloaded it from their site for nothing which is pretty weird for an album that just came out.

The last album I really like by them was World Chaos though.


I don't think you have their last album then....it's really killer and absolutely in the vein of "world chaos" and "terminal terror", I don;t recall it was for download too, I don;t think they'd do that it has only been out for a few weeks!
 
i'm digging the new dickinson disc right now. has anyone heard the bonus track "eternal". i have no idea why this was left off the album it's a great song. i see a lot of people like the new coc . i do but, i don't like the way the vocals are mixed (to much reverb). it makes my listening less enjoyable. the new gnr disc "chineese democracy" is good to , glad that one finally got released lol.
 
Blistered Earth - Blistered Earth. Released in 2004 I think, but fuck it, just heard it this year and it's the best thrash record I've heard in years.

Scar Symmetry - Symmetric in Design. Awesome melodic-death with some of the catchiest choruses in any genre of music.

Trivium - Ascendancy.

Sentenced - The Funeral Album

Hey........ I was reading the interview with Sentenced in the new Metal Maniacs..... love the whole concept of this album.

I've never actually heard Sentenced though! **hides under desk**

So....... how good is The Funeral Album???? Is it even out yet?
 
In Order:
Brand New Sin - Recipe for Disaster
Strapping Young Lad - Alien
Black Label Society - Mafia

but, there are more kickass albums coming out like the new ST, the new Disturbed (yea, I like Disturbed, get over it) and more.

Yeah it came out may 31. in Europe. Don´t know about the US though.

It´s a killer album! I think it´s one of the 3 best Sentenced albums, along with 'Amok' and 'The Cold White Light'.

You´ve never heard them?!? Well how to describe them? Hmm.... Well, they started out as a kind of Death/Dark hybrid, and have slowly developed into their own style and sound. Nowadays their style is (fuck it´s hard to describe) 'doomy rock', the only band I can think of that sound a bit like them, is Charon (also from Finland). Maybe they can described as a straightforward Katatonia...

Hey, I found their site: www.sentenced.org
There you can listen to soundclips (and decide if my description of ´em was complete bollocks :) )


Btw. they announced before the release of The Funeral Album, that they are going to split up after the tour to support the album, so it´s about the last chance to seeing them live ever!
 
I'll probably get bashed for this but fuck you all that would bash me for judging my taste in music. I nominate Life of Agony's Broken Valley as album of the year. It's got alot of all the right elements.
