[crimsonfloyd]

I'm in the same spot as Phylactery. Re-listening and ranking. Fairly close to being done.

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.

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.

 

[-CC-]

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

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

White Zombie - Astro-Creep 2000

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.
