Deathspell Omega is ruining black metal for me. They're setting my standards too high.

Funny, someone I just befriended on last.fm said almost the exact same thing in their shoutbox the other day. I agreed and said that for me, as of the last few years, there has been Deathspell Omega and everything else. They are just so far beyond anything else right now, to my ears...Deathspell Omega is ruining black metal for me. They're setting my standards too high.
Lifelover are absolutely terrible, and calling them black metal is a huge fucking stretch.
Here, this is my somewhat arbitrary ranking of releases this year:

I download most things before I buy them, save for a handful of bands I follow with great zeal. Obviously that list is top-heavy when gauging which things I've actually purchased, while I've skipped more and more as you go further down. I don't really have money to throw around on records I'm not positive I'll be listening to, so doing things this way is kind of a necessity for me. Like yourself, I struggle to even keep up with the releases I do want to own.Do you download albums or have you really purchased that many 2009 releases?
I have a hard time buying too many releases the year they are released because there is soooo much from the past I still want.
Look, we've already established that you're a faggot from the GMD social forum, we don't need to hear your opinions on DsO too.
Lifelover is more like poppy Katatonia rock + black metal elements
