GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 2003

[crimsonfloyd]

I'll need to listen to the Slough Feg album more (only listened to it once so far). Overall, the least interesting list we've produced so far. However, I imagine lists from 2000 on will become less interesting due to people's taste becoming more "specialized".

 

[CiG]

Yes, much less overlap.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Because people like Yoda call them faggots when they list who they currently like and it's entry level shit and all they are looking for are more recs or looking to go to the next level with this genre

Da fuck? I'm pretty sure it's you who ends up scaring everyone away. They think you are going to eat them or something.

I should eat you first and save everyone the trouble.

That too.

 

[CiG]

I think it's more interesting due to the variety and unpredictable nature of the 2000's.

Certainly no lack of quality though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

well yeah, i'm with you on the first part at least. i like doing the less iconic years.

 

[CiG]

[shrug]

I think most years have a great amount of quality releases.

 

[Bloopy]

@no country for old wainds presumably you've got the full list down to 10 points to post here like you did in the previous threads.

 

[no country for old wainds]

ah yeah, i already posted it in the master thread but i guess i didn't here. i'll do it later if i remember

 

[Bloopy]

Ah, just hadn't noticed that yet. You've combined scores for Boris - Akuma No Uta and Feedbacker, but they're 2 different albums from different halves of the year.
