GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1997

[HamburgerBoy]

Omni's list should still be counted for this round since it's only one of his accounts. We might be able to push it into the top 10.

Damn, I feel like I’m in the minority of not liking Cryptic Writings. Surprised at all these votes. What do you guys like about the album? Not being sassy, just genuinely curious. Maybe I’m not giving it the right attention?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It's post-thrash radio metal so there's lots to not like depending on one's preferences, but at the very least I think it has a greater breadth of writing than Countdown/Youthanasia, and songs like Trust, Almost Honest, and She-Wolf are nostalgic anthems with great hooks.

Stop thinking with your third eye and use the other two, Turktoy. His list is posted in this thread.

 

[CiG]

He means Talos' list?

I hear you like playing with toys ....

and yea, i know you had a boner for a bogus user who was created just to stroke you but considering Talos was a fake account his list should definitely not be counted.

Probably not, but I remember Omni (under the Omni name) claiming being a fan when I posted the album in the ass-kicking thread, so it should get a pass here.

Looks like that Skepticism album is from 98

Not really, except the first one.

Rules are you have to number your lists, or they are tallied as unranked and therefore every song earns 5.5 points as opposed to 1st place = 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points and so on.

Check page 1 for rules.

Then that's it, that's the order.
