Best of 2008 So Far...And Still to Come

[Master_Yoda77]

Upon further listening of the new Mgla album Groza I've grown to appreciate more. It still is a little disappointing though.

I think it's definitely the best thing that he's released.

 

[Alter]

Yup, it is certainly intense. It would have made my top ten but it does not last for multiple listens. Great record though.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I think it's definitely the best thing that he's released.

No way. Presence and Md³oœci are better.

 

[Omni]

I don't agree. The only thing they really are is catchier. The compositions on Groza are definitely more subtle and developed than his previous work, so it may not be something that immediately grabs you. There's definitely more thought put into the arrangements. It also has probably his best lyrics.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Eh. I would disagree, but I can see what you are getting it. I rarely pay attention to the lyrics anyways.

Agalloch - The White

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Looking forward to Cynic, Darkthrone, and Skepticism. Thats all really.

Watershed and Obzen stand out so far. Cynic's new album has me tingling with excitement.

Other than that I wish Wintersun would hurry the fuck up with their new album - if it doesnt come out next year I'm gonna cry!

[Zephyrus]

The new Keep of Kalessin is annoying.

 

[~Neurotica]

^ I second.

 

[XSASweet]

Wait, how can a greatest hits make your best of 2008?

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Top 5 right now:

Deadlock - Manifesto
Iced Earth - The Crucible Of Man
Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder God
Opeth - Watershed
Zonaria - The Cancer Empire

 

[Zephyrus]

WAIF played the new AA in the car yesterday. Overhyped.

 

[~Neurotica]

It's pretty good. But the previous one was more special.

 

[The Ozzman]

Definitely. With Oden On Our Side is much better

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

No.
