[Master_Yoda77]

That Dream Theater album fucking sucks. You guys are fucked.

And that fucking HAIL album is a masterpiece and might even be my number 1 now that I think about it. IDK this year is weird for me.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Slough Feg is going to miss out on the top 10 because of people's inconsistency between calling them Slough Feg and The Lord Weird Slough Feg, essentially splitting their votes in half.

 

[-CC-]

1) Edge of Sanity - Crimson II
2) Slugathor - Unleashing the Slugathron
3) Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
4) Runemagick - Darkness Death Doom
5) Melechesh - Sphynx
6) Dying Fetus - Stop at Nothing
7) Bathory - Nordland II
8) The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller
9) Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn
10) Psycroptic - The Scepter of the Ancients

Yattering - Genocide
Zyklon - Aeon
Septic Flesh - Sumerian Daemons

<Lost Horizon>

For some reason I had never rated them on my RYM account. Oversight fixed.

@no country for old wainds

How does scoring work if we only rate say, 7 albums?

just the same if youre ranking them. unranked theyd have 7 points each.

Stream of Conciousness and Endless Sacrifice are 4.5/5 DT tracks and it's a weak year. There are a couple other 4/5s on the album. It's admittedly spotty but the highs are very high

3. Psycroptic - The Scepter of the Ancients
4. Iron Maiden - Dance of Death

7. Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn
8. Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride
9. Sleep - Dopesmoker
10. Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

weak year overall
