GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1989

[CiG]

It’s a fucking great album. Interesting compositions, great riffs. My tastes are pretty dynamic, so it shouldn’t be too surprising.

With you my mind goes to death, black, prog and goth/post-punk. I'm always pleased to be surprised by what people like after 4 years on this site.

Well those and power are my bread and butter, but I’m a believer that just about every genre has its great albums.

Biggest surprise redoing this was Realm of Chaos ending up below Altars of Madness and Slowly We Rot.
I know Rotting is technically an EP but fuck it, it's over 30 mins long. Also another surprise was discovering that these days, I prefer Rotting over I.N.R.I.

First two albums remain where they are. Sacrilege are a new entry based on the amount of spins this album got from me after buying the re-released CD a few years ago.
