GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums Of 1988

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Doesn't even belong in the discussion. Powerslave matches the highs of SSoaSS, but has a very bloated and underwhelming mid-section.

Your mother has a very bloated and underwhelming mid-section.

 

[Burkhard]

You're looking at the year the label was printed. It's not necessarily the year it was released, especially for records pressed in December. That's the main reason why there's so much disagreement and confusion amongst music databases.

My thoughts as well. Therefore, I'm still not convinced that "World Circus" was officially released in 1987.

 

[The Ozzman]

1) Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
2) Metallica - ...And Justice For All
3) Queensryche - Operation: Mindcime
4) Megadeth - So Far, So Good...So What!
5) Slayer - South of Heaven
6) Testament - The New Order
7) Riot - Thundersteel
8) Liege Lord - Master Control
9) Death - Leprosy
10) Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn

That was difficult. Good year.

Whoa! You usually give 2.5-3 weeks. I've only graded 6 albums so far and still have a ton of albums that need multiple listens.

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol chill guys, i'm not gonna close any of these until it's clear nobody else intends to rate. the above was just a minimum. three weeks is a maximum i guess unless someone convinces me otherwise, i generally aim for two but we tend to run over that obviously. i'm not nearly ready either, this is the hardest year yet for me.

[H.P. Lovecraft]

taylor swift already gave us 1989

And she still needs to pay with her life for it. You know, that and ever recording a note of her vacuous earsonomies.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

100% i would have sent you to the hospital if you made that joke in person.

Difference between you and me is i dont act any different when sitting behind a computer screen. I would never say something like that to anyone, whether in person or on the internet. For example, there are plenty of dirty jews i dislike, but i would NEVER make fun of what happened to them. I would rather shoot myself in the foot than do something that dirty and low. Like i said, i dont know how you look at yourself in the mirror. Grade-A bitch to the fullest. i swear.

Cry more. I'm Jewish, Holocaust jokes are just that: jokes. When are you namby-pambies going to stop pretending that words self-animate into actual, tangible injuries? You insult the people who died in such things by trivializing their suffering with your insipid pearl-clutching. As if an offensive jest is somehow palpably damaging just like the actual killing. Get fucking real.

I was at a wedding recently and I asked about what a certain song was and people gave me a weird look and said '...Taylor Swift...?' like I had killed their puppy or something.

Couldn't care less about her music.

I've said far "worse" to bigger men than yourself.

I can't even imagine how big that rabbi's schnoz must have been.

I'd arg Tay Swift viciously, if you know what I mean.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

So, when is this finished? I read three weeks at some point.

You must have really wanted free food/booze.

You just don't wanna have fun! Why does music always have to have substance? Why can't it ever just be bland and cloying?
