lol, Opeth fucked out Slipknot!!!

 

[Saphira]

... But, of course!

 

[MetalManCPA]

and BWP gets #2 - not bad

 

[musicholic]

Slayer used to be good but #1 for 2001? The only metal cd I would rate with BWP this year would be the last EMPEROR album.

Have you heard "God Hates Us All"?

 

[MacMoney]

God Hates us All was poor and I don't see Kreator, Sodom or Destruction up there. My guess is that Slayer wouldn't have gotten there if not for their older albums and the fame they got with them.

Second class thrash/hardcore winning over first class thrash metal...

Most importantly, Slipknot's Iowa became the first Death Metal album to skyrocket into public awareness,

This one made me laugh. Death metal? Hardly even metal.

Some people are already saying that Blackwater Park has cemented its place as one of the greatest albums in heavy metal history

This one made me harumph. Sure it was good but anything else by Opeth is better.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

Awesome....Electric Wizard kicks ass

who the fuck is Lightning Bolt ...what a stupid name

 

[Misanthrope]

They lost all credibilty when they said slipknot is death metal. I wish opeth would have never made that particular list because is a stupid list made by fucked up people.

 

[Sadistik]

Amen, Misanthrope...and God Hates Us All sucked...and I once again reafirm my unpopular stance that SOAD IS NOT METAL and IS NOT ANY GOOD!

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

How was this list determined? Just the most often downloads?

 

[mindflesh]

I don't think it's based on downloads

 

[ricochet]

My friend told me about this. I hope it wasn't based on downloads because that means a lot of people didn't buy BWP. I agree with Misanthrope that it shouldn't really have been on the list. I don't know...something about the whole file sharing clients just doesn't sit well with me. Also, having Opeth and Slipknot on the same list makes me a little uneasy. It's cool that they were #2 though, but Slayer's new album #1? I think not...old Slayer is excellent, but their new direction/sound is very lacking.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

slipknot? death metal???

 

[terrymx]

more like shit metal. but actaully it's just plain shit.

 

[Demonspell]

Seeing them there is very weird, especially since their featured artist descriptions and "other users may like" features are often wildly inaccurate...

 

[SentencedToBurn]

other listeners like- Metallica, Limp Bizkit
i was like oh god this is pathetic. how could you like a band like in flames.... and then still like limp bizkit. i just dont understand.

Listening to Clayman, I can sort of understand how that could happen.

 

[Sadistik]

@Belial


I thought Clayman was pathetic. End of story.

 

[Demonspell]

The description they had for Symphony X is among the most incompetent examples of reviewing I've ever seen. They even called them hair metal!

 

[The_Wanderer]

What the hell is candiria!!!!!!
and common where is Emperor, where is Borknagar, where is My Dying Bride, what a shitty top ten list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
