GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2005

[Serjeant Grumbles]

18

 

[CiG]

Strapping young man, like if Harry Potter was a school shooter. I looked even more awful at 18 than I do now.

Snap I just realised today is the deadline.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I just realized we haven't done any of the "***7" years. That's the only ending digit where that's true.

We also haven't filled any complete trios yet (e.g. 1985/1995/2005).

There's a good chance the next year will fulfill one of those milestones:

• Full Trio
• At Least One of Each

congratulations, only a fully assimilated member of GMD would post something this autistic

 

[crimsonfloyd]

May shift these around if this goes over on time, but if not, I can live with this list.

1. Deathspell Omega- Kenose
2. Opeth- Ghost Reveries
3. Velvet Cacoon- Northsuite
4. Wigrid- Die Asche eines Lebens
5. Satanic Warmaster- Carelian Satanist Madness
6. Bolt Thrower- Those Once Loyal
7. Dream Theater- Octavarium
8. Judas Priest- Angel of Retribution
9. Nile- Annihilation of the Wicked
10. Drudkh- The Swan Road

Honorable mentions:
Immolation- Harnessing Ruin
Kamelot- Black Halo
Graveland- Fire Chariot of Destruction


Overall, a weak year. Only the top two are truly great in my eyes. The rest of the albums are in the B+ range.

10. Drudkh- The Swans Way

Something Something your metal IQ is lacking something something.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

There's more than one "Swans way." There's the noise rock/no wave way, the post-punk way, and the current post-rock way. All three of those ways are interconnected, but distinct.

I'm sitting this one out unfortunately. I just haven't had any time to do some dedicated listening to come up with an order.
