GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

[CiG]

Rage Against the Machine- Rage Against the Machine (92%)

I don't consider this metal myself, but a surprising choice.

It's an absolute classic IMO and made my initial top 10 before I saw what I had missed. I think I'm going to follow TB's idea and post my list towards the end next time because clearly I did not have a good check on what was made in 1992.

 

[CiG]

I think it sucks balls.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Alice in Chains, Helmet, Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine are not metal and should not be included.

My reason was for something completely different though. I'm going to start rating shit like a few select people here do. I'll wait till the end and if i see an album that i think shouldn't be that high up, ill either not include it in my list or put it in the bottom. But that's only for bands that were going to make my list anyway.

Rage is more metal than most of the 80's hair pop rock that a bunch of you guys wank it to.

who else do you think is doing that out of interest

It's borderline to me. I might remove before the deadline it to give Asphyx an extra point.

 

[Baroque]

I love Rage but they're not metal. rap rock funk or something.

 

[CiG]

First album by Motley Crüe isn't metal.
Rage Against the Machine is not only metal, it's more metal.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It's a metal album.

 

[CiG]

You don't even think black metal is metal though.

 

[Phylactery]

This thread has shown me I need to revisit Samael. Blood Ritual has made a few lists.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Depends on the band. The second-wave stuff was largely metal, a lot of prefixed stuff isn't.

 

[CiG]

You also think Consuming Impulse is a thrash metal album. Which are the prefixed black metal bands again?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Which are the prefixed black metal bands again?

He's talking about atmospheric black metal like Wolves in the Throne Room, I think.

It is a thrash album. Thrash riffs make up the majority of riffs on the album.

There's depressive shit on M-A that barely even contains riffs.

Rage Against the Machine is not only metal, it's more metal.

Rage are not metal(and they suck donkey dick imo), but are 1000 times heavier than anyhting form those gay glam bands.

 

[CiG]

Heavier =/= metal.

Or are you going to tell me Godflesh is more metal than Black Sabbath now?

 

[Satanstoenail]

It is a thrash album. Thrash riffs make up the majority of riffs on the album.

I'm re-listening to it now and it's most definitely death metal.

Dehydrated and The Trauma are death metal. The others are death/thrash at deathliest.
