GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1998

[Phylactery]

Bolt Thrower is an in-crowd mainstay.

Though without hearing it, the general vibe I've gotten is that Mercenary is one of their more popular albums regardless

EDIT: Though apparently that vibe is wrong, it's #6 on RYM.

Have you looked at who actually listed Mercenary?

People not in the in crowd?

Whatever happened to Cody? He was cool as fuck and i think some of you even met up with him at one of the deathfests.

edit: @KafkaX

he turned into a bug

[EspaDa]

yeah, @KafkaX was a cool guy. he introduced me to some great grindcore and deathgrind bands. he was also into sludge and stoner if I remember correctly.

10/10

 

[Burkhard]

Have you heard the original records of the songs that was supposed to be the Abstrakt Algebra II album?

No, I haven't. Where are they to be found?

 

[CiG]

This is like saying Blind Guardian > Dio

No it's not. Explain yourself.

So the weakest Bolt Thrower alubum made the top 5? Smh

Nah, it's more of a middle album.

Unnecessary. In-crowdness is a function of Bolt Thrower-listening, not vice versa.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

And the in-crowd wins again!

There's a 2 disc version of the album with the original records on the second disc. https://www.amazon.com/Dactylis-Glo...513382856&sr=1-1&keywords=candlemass+dactylis

Bolt Thrower have absolutely nothing to do with in-crowd. They're just one of those bands that most metalheads seem to enjoy.

Thanks! Since I've considered buying this album, I might get the 2-disc-version.

Definitely a worthy purchase and you can't argue with some of the prices its going for.

And fuck yes Runemagick making the top 3.

TB rises to broken clock status.

So I've been blasting "Malediction Murder" (seriously 2:10 - 3:30 is some of the best shit to ever come from this genre) and came to this thread to see if Dawn made the top 10 as I couldn't remember. It isn't in the top 10, but I saw it on a lot of lists and I count it as having more than 50 points, which means it'd beat out nearly half of this list.

@no country for old wainds can you verify please.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you're right, there was an error in my spreadsheet where three of the dawn entries were counted as a separate total. should've had an extra 12 points, which bumps it from 11th to 7th.

i really fucked up this one in general, glad i'm not doing this shit anymore lol. i do keep meaning to update the master thread though ugh, might just put in the top tens without anything from 11th onwards

This is why we should look to eventually redo some years. We're going to run out of years we haven't done eventually anyway.

 

[no country for old wainds]

tbh by the time we've done them all the userbase will be pretty different from how it was when we started anyway. quite a few people have arrived or left.
