he used to constantly call people out for holding double standards, liking certain albums over others due to their reputation rather than any musical differences between them etc. i wouldn't be surprised if he used the phrase 'in crowd' at some point. he was a lot more emotional about it than you though ha

Yeah, I was floored at the extent of the resistance to Death when I had only been here a little while. Superlative pioneers, ineffably genius technical wizardry.

From my math Graveland beats it by as many as 11 points, depending on how I-TEND-TO-DIE's vote was weighed.

3) Bergtatt by Ulver
She saw the hall of shadows, so cold and ever-blue...
"I find Garm's clean vocals here to be very ethereal. I know Ulver get a lot of shit, but I've always enjoyed this album and Nattens Madrigal. I used to listen to this a lot on my drive to and from University which was full of winding country roads surrounded by trees." - @Phylactery

thousand swords got 60 and symbolic 59.5. i-tend-to-die's vote was worth 5.5 for the record
i could start posting the points as well as rankings if it'll help avoid confusion.

2) Storm of the Light's Bane by Dissection
Can't resist the night's sweet blood...
"You know, I've come across many BM fans who believe that Dissection was just generic melodeath posing as black metal (I know, hilarious) but the thing that makes the band so great is the fact that it's not just the sound but also the melodies that make the music sound the way it does. The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane have this artistically-crafted and unique kind of malevolence to them which is why Dissection is considered so influential. I don't even know what the hell they meant with that statement. While being much more melodic compared to other BM bands, they still had that rough production quality that gave it its coldness." - @Talos of Atmora

1) Die Healing by Saint Vitus
Insanity is contagious, I speak from experience...
"Just listened to Die Healing,a brilliant album but a rotten and unhappy one as well.No other album I know of really has the genuine atmosphere of filth that can come from drugs and the shit.Its a fucking awesome album but I always feel a bit sorry for them when I hear it and knowing a bit about the history of the band." - @JontRevolting

Even though I only gave it a 9 it really pleases me that Saint Vitus got number 1 and Dissection didn't. It's a good album but ranking it higher than Graveland is just silly.
@no country for old wainds This list turned out to be pretty amazing.

so darkthrone missed out on the top 10 somewhat surprisingly, ALKAHEST didn't even make double figures and nor did onceuponatime forum darling UNITED ARYAN EVIL, immortal, gamma ray, absu, kataklysm, fleurety or dismember. SLAUGHTER OF THE SOUL got a single point.
