fuck you, 2005 was a pretty good year

[Birkenau]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that it was a print onto cd from vinyl.

 

[Nico]

Fuck, while we're talking re-releases, the Nihilist comp. is fucking AMAZING. About time, too.

 

[NAD]

nah. sunn O))) and meshuggah are the only really good metal releases i've heard this year. non-metal stuff had like two INCREDIBLE albums, and then a handful of okay.

metal needs a kick in the balls, but it got one in 2003 so i'm not jonesin' for one just yet.

 

[Dev]

Check my list , listen to the top 5 . Then , tell me 2005 sucks

 

[NAD]

the caveat is of course, "what i've heard" as usual.

but the primordial, pelican, and dredg albums are okay but nothing amazing. i mean after a few weeks, i stopped listening to all of those.

 

[Vilden]

Centurions Ghost - A Sign of Things To Come

Forgot that one.

 

[Dev]

[Erik]

wtf?! #1?

yes, because it's utterly awesome and likely their best work since goat horns.

Yes. Probably their best release actually.

so what's up with you listing neither sol invictus nor of the wand and the moon, you neo nazi you?

 

[Erik]

aphotic/dusk "to find new darkness/the slumber"
alcest "le secret"
heathen "demo 2005"
rapture "silent stage"

i dont think anyone else lists these. have you even heard them? you should.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

this is fucking terrible.

I found it mildly amusing, probably 82nd tier is a complement though. also remember that there are 80 unspoken tiers between that one and the 2nd one.

so what's up with you listing neither sol invictus nor of the wand and the moon, you neo nazi you?

I actually didn't enjoy the 2005 SI much at all, and OtWatM, I haven't heard. I probably should.

 

[Birkenau]

Gar, where did you fucks get the new Of The Wand and The Moon from?

 

[AsModEe]

I'm pleasantly surpised by the new dragonlord album...
