GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1989

[Satanstoenail]

Prelim ranked, but any of those HM could easily make the top 10 on a relisten

I thought No More Color would’ve made your list for sure

It’s worth an HM that album just not much of a Coroner fan for whatever reason

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah i knew it wasn't gonna make your list. I always thought it was kind of weird that you didnt like them

I like Mental Vortex but overall I have the same opinion

 

[CiG]

Yeah but with you disliking good bands isn't shocking.

 

[The Ozzman]

I forgot that no one is allowed to have preferences here. My bad.

 

[CiG]

I just said I'm not shocked, nothing about you not being allowed to have preferences snowflake.

 

[Allfader]

Of course it's accepted, it's a pretty by the books grind album.



Use numbers in the future or I'll keep counting your lists as unranked.

Edited, since Terrorizer was ok.

Ministry - The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste (Streetcleaner's a joke next to this)

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Just sayin, not sure how anyone who listens to industrial metal puts Godflesh above Ministry for this year, unless they prefer something more boring.

 

[CiG]

Or something heavier, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste is fun though if you prefer the poppier side of that stuff.

It's not about poppy vs heavy for me, I'm just blown away by the abundance of amazing ideas packed into TMIATTTT. Visionary stuff.

Take "Breathe" for instance. Hard to find a more uniquely dystopian atmosphere in metal. The main lyrical theme. The faux religious chanting toward the end. The subtle fucked up samples like the juxtaposed crying and car horns at the beginning (stuff like that is all over Ministry's work in this era).

 

[CiG]

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I agree it's visionary. Its influence on music going froward can't be denied.

 

[Somethingface]

Had a look at this year on RYM during the week. Fair chunk of my friends top 50/100 I haven't got around to listening to yet. Looks like I've got a busy month ahead... but top 5 probably includes Severed Survival, Nosferatu, Altars of Madness, Resurrection Absurd and Beneath the Remains. No More Color, Consuming Impulse, Streetcleaner, Freaks, Control and Resistance also close enough. Oh yeah, and of course Nothingface not without a chance.

 

[CiG]

Since I'm running this game now, all lists without Nothingface will be disqualified.

If it makes my list I'm entering it as 'Somethingface.'
