GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1995

[TechnicalBarbarity]

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.

so much wrong is such a little post.

Do you live in Bizzaro World?

 

[CiG]

Hey man do you use RYM? Just curious.

No, he lives in a ...DARK WORLD.

i get why people wouldn't consider them the best of the year but not liking vitus at all is kinda strange to me, they're such an intense and deranged and expressive band, not to mention uber consistent. s/t is still their best album to me but this one's close to the top.

 

[Phylactery]

I didn't think Die Healing would win this actually, kinda surprised it beat SotLB. Pretty good list overall.

I'm holding you personally responsible for Meshuggah beating Nastrond for the 10th spot by the way.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You have to have such immensely shit taste to prefer Graveland to Meshuggah.

 

[CiG]

You have to have such immensely shit taste to say you have to have such immensely shit taste to prefer Graveland to Meshuggah.

Not making a list =/= not liking at all. Don't really need to explain that. And i find St. Vitus to be a pretty overrated band anyway, especially amongst a certain type people. Just not my cup of tea

fair enough, i was thinking more of crimsonfloyd when i said that really.

Iced Earth at thirteenth place. What a disgrace!

See, it's statements like this, this is why we can't have nice things as humans.

I hold him personally responsible for even acknowledging Meshuggah's existence.

Shit my .5 point move from death to dream theater cost it a spot. I only did it so that dream theater album would show up in the double digits list, but then Ozz helped so I should have given the .5 back to death. Oh well.

[Baroque]

If we're being realistic here that Death album deserves the #1 spot for 1995 metal as far as influence and staying power. That Dream Theater album totally deserves more recognition though as it is one of their best, easily #2 by them for me. After that it's Awake at #3 and then things get murky.

 

[CiG]

The forum has spoken. Saint Vitus is #1.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

With the exception to the massive reach at #1, this is a really strong list. I'm personally not a fan of Meshuggah, but I get why it would make the list. I wouldn't have Thousand Swords or Scarlet Evil Witching Black that high, but in both cases, I get the appeal.

It's notable that black metal makes up 50% of the list.

In celebration of victory most glorious

What is the next year?

 

[no country for old wainds]
