GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1995

[The Ozzman]

but m8 how will your beloved once upon the cross win without you

It'll always win in my heart and that's what counts

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I really have no interest in doing these lists.

 

[CiG]

Because you don't know 10 albums for a single year?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'd be EXTREMELY interested if we did a top 10 Thin Lizzy albums list or a Top 10 Traditional Doom Metal lists but I just don't give a fat fuck to sit down and think about what I like best from these years. Die Healing is cool, but it's really my least favorite of the main Vitus albums. Definitely deserves a spot though.

That would be cool.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

1) Saint Vitus - Die Healing

 

[no country for old wainds]

people voted for you to be banned from listing one album sry

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Good.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You like that Blood Farmers album don't you?

 

[CiG]

He does like Yet So Far by Revelation. I remember him remarking how underrated it was or something. That's a 1995 album.

As is Hardrocker by Gehennah.

Yes, let's start a new thread where we guess Master Yoda's top 10 albums of a select year and then he gets to rate how close we were.

 

[The Ozzman]

Okay, Tom convinced me

1) Suffocation - Pierced from Within
2) Death - Symbolic
3) Deicide - Once Upon the Cross
4) Jungle Rot - Skin the Living
5) Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
6) Megadeth - Hidden Treasures
7) Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve
8) Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
9) Fear Factory - Demanufacture
10) Immortal - Battles in the North

Honorable mentions:

Naglfar - Vittra
White Zombie - Astro-Creep 2000
Opeth - Orchid

edit: I forgot Pierced came out in '95. I don't own an original copy yet so it always gets missed on these lists. Moved Orchid out as a result

 

[The Ozzman]

Didn't surmise you to be a White Zombie fan, though I suppose it figures. Right on, man.

I could've put them in the list somewhere tbh. I just went with what gets more regular plays from me out of what I have from 1995. If this were general releases across all genres, that list would look a bit different.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

White Zombie is a band that I have little experience in. Heard a lot about them but I just never got around to listening to their albums.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Their 80s stuff is better than what they're famous for.

 

[Krow]

Their 80s stuff is pretty shit. I was pretty happy to see it all get a decent rerelease recently but I can't imagine playing it over La Sexorcisto very much.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Fine. I'll do this one a little later tonight. Fags.

 

[The Ozzman]

Thin Lizzy had 10 albums?

edit: 12 albums. Hardly worth doing a Top 10 if they barely have that many albums imo. I haven't even listened to the first 3 or 4 albums from the band yet.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

1) Graveland - Thousand Swords
2) Blood Farmers - Blood Farmers
3) Summoning - Minas Morgul
4) Order From Chaos - Dawnbringer
5) The Chasm - Procreation of the Inner Temple
6) Virgin Steele - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part 2
7) Gehennah - Hardrocker
8) Revelation - And Yet So Far
9) Saint Vitus - Die Healing
10) Absu - Sun of Tiphareth

Happy?

Just sat through the chore that is Saint Vitus's Die Healing. It's an absolute disgrace that this will probably finish first.
