In Flames - Whoracle
Type O Negative - October Rust

thats all i can think of at the moment.

 

[Spiff]

Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray
Megadeth - Cryptic Writings

 

[Goreripper]

I didn't think Cryptic Writings was that great. That's why I didn't include it. Forgot about Whoracle. But then, I don't really think that much about In Flames these days.

 

[Spiff]

I loved Cryptic Writings. It's easily my favourite Megadeth album.

Didn't realise Whoracle was from 1997. Awesome album.

 

[Bucko]

fuk i can't think of one

 

[Southy]

Album of the Year - Faith No More, still my fav FNM album

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The Tea Party - Transmission

 

[phlogiston]

All the ones I could think of have been said already.

Nearly all the other albums mentioned are average or poor

Metallica - Reload

PS October Rust was 96 I think you'll find.

I'll eat my ears off if I'm wrong

You're correct about Type O. And you like Reload, so your ears have been devoured already. Talk about empty promises.

 

[Southy]

only song I don't really like on Reload these days is Unforgiven 2

 

[mattt]

THe Memory Remains sucks.

 

[Spiff]

Quite a few on Reload I don't like... but Fuel is one of the best.

Interesting to note that Unforgiven II was the current single on their 1998 tour and they didn't play it at the gig I went to.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Unforgiven II isn't bad, but it is unnecessary.

I think of ReLoad a bit like I think of Virtual XI....full of great material (with some shite as well), but overall it just doesn't gel as an album, and is therefore the bands weakest.

 

[Southy]

it is just all the throwaway gear from Load
