GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

[Vilden]

I'm basically accusing most of the people here of manipulation/skewing the votes, and then you accuse me of the exact same thing with your post from earlier?

Love your conspiracy theories, can you explain how people are manipulating their votes? It's not like the mixtape game were you can downvote anything, you just put the albums you want to win on your list?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i love how i need to break stuff like this down for some of you kids. By giving less points or leaving off albums that would have otherwise been rated higher on your lists because of ...(insert reason). That wasnt so hard now, was it?

Anyway, i'll never play another "top albums" type of game/thread on this forum again. You guys can rejoice.

 

[Baroque]

What evidence do you have that people aren't just voting for what they want? If they have a reason that's better than not having a reason? Idk what someone would gain by not voting how they really feel. Why are you quitting again?

 

[Baroque]

In some ways it kind of is their black album, but so is cryptic writings so idk. I think Megadeth has multiple black album equivalents

Can you name one of those reasons why people do this?

This. Why would someone consciously put an album they like out of the competition or lower than they want?

Anyway, relax aper jan, just have fun with this

i guess i can see why you'd take issue with that entry in the context of the last two but to be fair i'd prefer to put something jokey or funny (or at least a post from this board) on every entry, it's just been slim pickings so far. believe what you will but i genuinely looked at UM, MA and RYM for some kind of definitive srs paragraph, but with the mainstream stuff there's a lot more poorly written crap to wade through and i didn't come across anything that worked, just tons of black album comparisons so i settled on that. i might've put in a little more effort if it wasn't my bedtime tho.

(for the record i kinda like the black album and CtE is the only album in the top 30 or so of this list that i've never heard)

 

[Baroque]

Whaat he's never heard countdown to extinction, this changes everything, summon the hounds (jk)

But yeah you should probably go listen to that

Yeah, you're bitching because people aren't ranking your favorite albums as high as you'd like so, in an infantile fit of rage, you simply refuse to participate. It really isn't that hard to understand.

You know, people should be rejoicing.

 

[Mort Divine]

but you know its us that instigate everything

Anyways, fucking love that SA album, but never listen to it for some reason. heavy as just about anything else

=6) Onward to Golgotha by Incantation
Enter the maze, the realms of darkness...

"I'd NEVER listened to them, and now can safely put "Onward to Golgotha" on my top albums list. I gotta go pick up my asshole, it got blown across the room." - @SomeGuyDude

=6) Images and Words by Dream Theater
Find all you need in your mind...

"I don't like Dream Theater as much as I used to and consider them more of a guilty pleasure than anything, but I still think Images & Words is absolutely brilliant. Most of the criticisms people love throwing at Dream Theater don't apply to that album or at least not to as large an extent as to the others. It's not prog for prog's sake, it's what prog should be, it's inspired, mindblowing, brain-tickling music that could only exist in time signatures no sane man would touch. The only problem I have with that album is that while all the individual songs are great, the album as a whole is very incoherent. Were they going for intentional contrast when they placed Another Day after Pull Me Under? Whatever the case, it doesn't work and it's jarring as hell. The rest of the album isn't much better in that regard." - @Vegard Pompey

Dude, are you okay? You dont think i realized or knew that album wasn't going to be at the top of most people's lists here? Or better yet, do you think yesterday was the first time i looked through everyone's lists or something? The simplistic way that your mind works sometimes amazes me. Learn to comprehend what you read.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Haha, didn't expect to be quoted in one of these. How far back did you have to go to find that statement? Not sure I can wholeheartedly stand behind it anymore, though I do still like the album. (Controversial opinion: Octavarium is better)

 

[no country for old wainds]

i actually found one even further back when you basically said it's the best album ever lol

 

[Vegard Pompey]

oh god

5) Epidemic of Violence by Demolition Hammer
Barbaric cannibals reveling in flesh...

"Usually I lean more towards Tortured Existence and its slightly more varied song writing, but right now Epidemic of Violence is winning for me. Their ability to mesh Exodus/Overkill-style groove with Slayer/Dark Angel tempos is amazing." - @HamburgerBoy

^great album and very close to making my top 10. I realize my top 10 is unpopular and recognize that DH album's strength and influence though, so I'm happy to see it make the list. Though yeahhh Images and Words is totally better and more influential

eat a bag of dicks you wannabe fuck. go listen to your glam "metal", but make sure its not hair "metal" though bro, since you know ...they're different subgeneres and all, no?

Stupid fuckin' responses like your post above are what derail these threads. leave it to the supposed 50+ year old to come in here and starts with the childish name-calling.

Wannabe? Wannabe what exactly? You really can't let that one go, can you? Tell me, how red is the blood dripping from your crotch? And pretending I derailed the thread? This thread never even had a track to derail. It's been off topic more times than Trump on a coke bender mid-speech. You have no grounds to call me out for "childish name-calling" given your post history either, so kindly, stop trebucheting rocks inside a glass house.

Why the fuck is shit degenerating again after like 3 days? Jesus..
