GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1993

[crimsonfloyd]

The fact that you took my insult literally shows that you don't understand trolling. Not that this is a surprise.

I just figured it was time to throw my #1 fanboy a bone.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Really?

hmmm, something about those three lists.

 

[no country for old wainds]

At the Gates would have been a lock for #1 if the album were consistently as flawless as the first three tracks. As is, fantastic album anyways.

primal breath is the best song of their career tho

 

[Mort Divine]

primal breath is the best song of their career tho

ok well, sure, i like raped by the light of christ more actually

regardless the first half is fantastic and largely untouchable and is followed by good but not as interesting material

 

[Mort Divine]

Really?

What of it really though? Oh no people happen to have very similar opinions of what is good music. Is it more similar than usual for this year? Maybe, but its no different from the prog/tech obsessives going on endlessly about Vektor or Obscura in their respective years

 

[no country for old wainds]

all i know is the three of you are equally shit at recognising the greatness of UAFM

just to back up mort's point, talos' list contains 7/10 the same as hamburgerboy, which is actually more than manic's list has in common with either of the others quoted, despite hbb's list being considerably more obscure i should think.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I still consider that my favorite unholy trinity Darkthrone album, for what it's worth.

 

[CiG]

Can I use some of my points to downvote Behirit?

Behirit are the worst.

Not fans of Drawing Down the Poon? Pair of queers.

Lol i'm probably one of the only guys who here who's a huge Obsucra fan and yes im talking about them all the time aren't i?

And secondly, you guys didnt realize why talos quoted ozz first?

 

[Phylactery]

It’s for this reason I’m not sure I can even justify having it in my top 10 for such a stacked year. If it ends up making it, it will be towards the bottom I think.

For me, Prinal Breath > The Break of Autumn > Raped by the Light of Christ > Non- Divine.

While I find the first track easily the best of more the death thrash affairs on the album, it’s still a notch below these tracks.

Talos & HBB = alt-crowd?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Yeah, I was calling out Ozz for calling Cynic an in-crowd band despite none of the usual suspects voting for them. Thanks for being the only person to interpret that post correctly.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Those Greek albums really are shit though, especially Rotting Christ's.

And yeah Cynic has been out-crowd since at least the release of Traced in Air, if not earlier.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

sure thing, and thanks for inadvertently pointing out the "similarities" in those three posts lol.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Decided to give this my 10th spot. Surprisingly underrated around these parts.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Super underrated album as a whole.

 

[CiG]

Beherit is great, fuck anyone who says otherwise. Especially when those same people worship garbage like Deathspell Omega.

Shots fired at an intellectual, be careful buddy boy.

 

[challenge_everything]

Emperor/Hordanes Land is 93 right?

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, anything past the Cynic demos is pretty out crowd tbh. The demos are the best thing that band did anyway.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

L O fucking L at a beherit fanboy calling Deathspell Omega garbage.

Beherit is great, fuck anyone who says otherwise.

a bottom of the barrel joke of a band for "metal hipsters" like yourself. Blow me.
