GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 2003

[CiG]

Okay mr. post-punk is black metal fuckboi.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

You need to make 2004 or 2009!

Hopefully, the RNG will swing in our favor so that I can finally put Emperor of the Black Runes on my 2004 list.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

While the concept is cool, musically my favorite is Down Among the Deadmen.

For real? Fucking awesome, I rarely see that one praised for some reason.

[CiG]

Atavism +10000000000.

 

[EspaDa]

This is and has always been my favorite Slough Feg song by far. Pure brilliance.

 

[Vilden]

I also like Twilight of the Idols the best I haven't heard close to all their releases.

opener to traveller is insanely good IMO

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Traveller and Hardworlder are the best Slough Feg albums. And they are both far as hell from being "near perfect".

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Traveller>Down Among the Dead Men>Twilight of the Idols>Atavism>Ape Uprising>Hardworlder>The Animal Spirits>Digital Resistance

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Down >/= Traveler > Idols > Atavism >> S/T > Hardworlder >>>>>>> Ape Uprising

Only listened to Digital Resistance once and Animal Spirits not at all so don't care about those.

 

[Mort Divine]

Atavism has a few really great songs (I Will Kill You / You Will Die, Hiberno-Latin Invasion, and Starport Blues mainly) but a lot of the rest is a bit too 'filler' level for me.

Twilight of the Idols, Down Among the Deadmen, Traveller, and Hardworlder are all great though (and stand out for their own reasons.)

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Agony Slalom and the Eumaeus the Swineherd/Curse of Athena/Agnostic Grunt homogeneous suite are two of their best. Man out of Time is the only sort of weak point but it still keeps within the album's theme so I can't even knock it too much.

After Atavism, it all goes downhill rapidly.

 

[CiG]

After Atavism, it all goes downhill rapidly.

Fuck off it does. The Animal Spirits is a great album and Digital Resistance is a strong album. I haven't really heard Hardworlder or Ape Uprising enough to judge though.

And they are both far as hell from being "near perfect".

Far as hell going which way?

 

[Krow]

Ape Uprising is fantastic sing alongable planet of the apes metal. I didn't like Hardworlder that much originally but I tend to listen to it more than most of their stuff now.
