I was simply giving you my opinion on where the album was. Besides, no one really cared to be regaled by your opinion of Irae Melanox being fourth above all the albums you liked either.do i care if you mind the rating or not? The fact that my opinion has some of you twats whining like little bitches is hilarious.
Considering that Perfect Symmetry is better than South of Heaven and that it basically shows an impressive level of evolution once Alder finally got fully integrated into the band, making one of the best albums of that decade, I'd say that it's a far more egregious exclusion than South of Heaven and that complaining about it makes far more sense."whine about something intelligent" And you're some kind of aspiring author or some shit? you need to have a better grasp of the English language first, babe.
Once again, do you think i care what you think?Besides, no one really cared to be regaled by your opinion of Irae Melanox being fourth above all the albums you liked either.

You are forgetting that it didnt even start off as a comparison. It was just me saying that it shouldnt have been ranked higher than some of those albums(one being SoH) to which HBB responded with the comparison. And anyway I have absolutely no problem with saying one album is better than the other even though they play different styles of music. I dont know why that part seems to confuse you. I like one album more that the other, i think one is better than the other ... regardless of styles. That shouldn't be so hard to comprehend.
And id say someone who has listened to that album just a few times should not have a valid enough opinion of the band to be including them in "greatest albums of XXXX" lists. And he sure in the hell shouldn't be questioning the opinion of other metal fans who are much more familiar with the album.
To say that my complaint is empty because you think i dont like power metal is about as ridiculous as the people who listened to it one or twice and voted for it.
And there is a good amount of power metal that i like. Just not the flowery shit.
edit: And i really didnt think someone who is so high on "high-art" would like such a shallow and boring song like Mandatory Suicide.
Pardon me for interfering with your discussion, but Perfect Symmetry was released in 1989, so it couldn't be included in the poll for 1988. (Unrelated to this discussion, I can already tell that it will probably make the top 3 in my list for 1989.)Considering that Perfect Symmetry is better than South of Heaven and that it basically shows an impressive level of evolution once Alder finally got fully integrated into the band, making one of the best albums of that decade, I'd say that it's a far more egregious exclusion than South of Heaven and that complaining about it makes far more sense.
Like I said in my last post, you can compare any two albums. You could compare a Britney Spears album and a Bach recording if you want.
My initial point was that comparing the two albums in the context of this game was a little useless. They were separated by only a few points and in the context of the game, are relatively disparate from one another. So, doing a direct comp is a little useless, especially at this point when all the voting has been done. Of course, if you want to do a step-by-step compare and contrast, by all means go for it.
I agree when you're talking about people who have only heard the album one or two times. But that was probably just Zabu. Most people who voted for it have heard it plenty of times and therefore are just as qualified as you are to express their opinion on it.
Fair point. How about it's empty because it isn't gonna do shit?
Oh, right. I completely forgot that was a 1989 release. Well, my bad.Pardon me for interfering with your discussion, but Perfect Symmetry was released in 1989, so it couldn't be included in the poll for 1988.

I think you're overcomplicating it. We are voting for which albums we think are the best for their respective years. You know, that's why we have numbers next to their names ... to say which one the forum thinks is better than the other. I am saying that i think South of Heaven is a better album than Irae Meloanox. I think it is a much stronger record with much better songs. I dont know why you keep jumping to your "direct comparison" bullshit.
Nah im pretty sure there are a few people who haeven heard of that album until they started seeing it listed here. But now its miraculously one of their favorites from said year. But im honestly not surprised considering the groupthink mentality that this place has adopted in recent years.
i find it kind of weird that in a year that is filled with so many bonafide 5 star classics that people are voting in albums they have only heard once or twice. I cant even begin to imagine ranking an album that ive never heard from this year over any of the stuff that are even on my HM list. Just shows that either that guy is a)not too familiar with most of the stuff that came out that year(which is more respectable in my opinion) or b) he is just a tosser. Im gonna go ahead and say that you belong to group A.
some albums are just instant love though. not very often (for me at least), but it happens. you've never listened to an album once or twice and already been pretty sure it's an all-time favourite?
