it's so nice to only be going through 12 pages to get the results, rather than 25+.

Let's start a gratuitous catfight!

 

[Phylactery]

did you ever check out that nastrond? you gave them a 10 in one of the mixtapes, the song in question was probably the best on it but still.

"Lord of the Woods" tbh.

I slash your neck
I tear out your entrails
I open up your chest, your blood
And feed upon your heart!

Are you posting the results tonight?

GMD's Top Ten Metal Albums of 1995
10) Destroy Erase Improve by Meshuggah
Caged within a twilight world...

"Meshuggah is a one trick pony. They do one thing, very very well. And they do it better than any of the hundreds of bands that have tried to emulate them, or use their sound as a platform.

You either like that one trick, or you don't. But they're indisputably the best at what they do, which is that odd time signature chuggy thing we call Djent. It's incredibly mathematical, formulaic, and robotic-feeling. Well-produced to a fault. Personally, I'm into it." - Eligos

9) Imaginations from the Other Side by Blind Guardian
I can feel the shadows everywhere...

"I seriously hate you guys for not forcing Blind Guardian on me. All these years I've given them no thought, but they kick so much ass....I'm listening to Imaginations From The Other Side right now, and it's so un-fucking-believable."

[Master_Yoda77]

Imaginations isn't even one of BG's better albums.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

IMAAAGINAATIOONS FROOOOM THE OOOTHERRR SIIIIIDE!

Really glad we got this one on the list.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Imaginations isn't even one of BG's better albums.

^ Definitive proof that it's their best album.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

It's definitely not though. Tales, Follow the Blind, and Somewhere Far Beyond are all better than it.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Somewhere Far Beyond are all better than it.

In my order, yeah. Still among their best though.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

It's definitely not though. Tales, Follow the Blind, and Somewhere Far Beyond are all better than it.

Not even close. Imaginations and Nightfall are clearly their best, in that order.

 

[no country for old wainds]

dude you're arguing with a guy who thinks die healing is bad

Maybe I misread you. Were you saying the song was the best in that round of the game or the best on the album?

I thought it was the latter and I was saying "Lord of the Woods" is the best song on Toteslaut.

Also, Crimsonfloyd has much weirder opinions. Like thinking Wolves in the Throne Room, Deafheaven, Leviathan and a million DSO releases belong in a top 100 black metal album list.

He also put Two Hunters above The Somberlain which is amusing, to say the least. Not to mention putting Sunbather above Shining Swords of Hate, Live in Leipzig, Carpathian Wolves, In the Nightside Eclipse, Dol Guldur, Pentagram, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, The Somberlain, etc.

 

[Phylactery]

Having Storm of the Light's Bane nearly a hundred places higher than The Somberlain is the biggest travesty concerning Dissection. Should have been the other way round. "Black Horizons" and the title track alone destroy the follow up.

Sacramentum and Dawn at their peak should be higher than any Dissection release anyway.

 

[Mort Divine]

Not even close. Imaginations and Nightfall are clearly their best, in that order.

imaginations is great, but nightfall is pure fucking trash

 

[Talos of Atmora]

nightfall is pure fucking trash

Are you serious?

 

[Mort Divine]

Are you serious?

it marked the band becoming unlistenable

overdone, overproduced (not quite to the 1000 Hansi's level of a night at the opera), and just boring

It also has some of the best tracks of their entire career but OK...
