Album Of The Year?

[A Journeys End]

I know the year isn't over, but I think I've pretty much decided on "Damage Done" as my album of the year. New Bloodbath is excellent, and a good runner up. I can't think of any other releases due out in the next two months that will compare to "D. Done". Anyone know theirs as of yet?

 

[Siren]

Damage Done. Non-negotiable.

 

[Ormir]

Taake - Bjoergvin

 

[Final_Vision]

It'll prolly end up being DD.....a lot of the albums this year fell really short of my expectations....

This forum is pretty open-minded, and there are few whiners. I'm sure not many will agree with you, but you won't get flamed either.

 

[Tranquillian]

A few contenders for the throne:

Damage Done
Immortal - Sons of northern darkness
Agalloch - The mantle
Amon Amarth - Versus the world
Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultos
Opeth - Deliverance

 

[Beast In Flames]

Agalloch - The Mantle
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors

These two are at the top of my list for 2002. Damage Done might end up in the third place, I am not sure yet. I still need to hear a few albums from this year.

 

[PrinnyD00d]

I also vote The Sham Mirrors (in addition to DD, of course).

 

[TheMindzI]

Um.. Deliverance? (haven't got it yet but I'm pretty convinced Opeth won't disappoint me...)

Arcturus-The Sham Mirrors
DT-Damage Done
The Crown-Crowned in Terror
Blind Guardian-A night at the opera

So far for me it's new Vintersorg... but Opeth's "Deliverance" was released only few days ago (and I haven't heard it yet), and Duskfall's debut will come out on christmas...

damage done wins hands down,but although i have only heard opeths-deliverance 3 times its a very strong cd but not enough to beat dd

damage done. very few albums i've heard this year are above average, btw.

rahvin.

I think the Opeth is the best of this year. Damage Done, Versus the World, among others are also up there. RtR is by far not the best album of 2002.

Yep, I would dare say The Crowns latest closeley follows DD up...the production is simply fucking great on CiT.

 

[Wanderingblade]

Damage Done....

 

[Shrieker]

Damage Done or The Crown's Crowned In Terror

 

[Feanor IV]

Most probably Shaman's (ex- Angra members) debut, "Ritual". Second comes Damage Done..........

 

[Salamurhaaja]

Satyricon - Volcano

To me not even DD can touch this one, not by a long shot.

 

[Finntroll]

Opeth - Deliverance, followed by DD...
