GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2008

[Phylactery]

4 of mine made it. Without actually counting, I seem to remember Omni having the most that made the final list.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Pretty much everything on here except Meshuggah, Warbringer, and Skelator, would have made my list. I probably would have added Ereb Altor, The Gates of Slumber, or Ogre. I'd probably put Grand Magus "Iron Will" in there somewhere as well.

Yeah, it was a good year thread for me. I was pleased that Skelator made it, because they seemed like a long shot.

"So wtf. Im listening to Socialized Hate by Atrophy, and this first song is a total mirror of Warbringer. Did Warbringer totally steal this? faggots" - @rms

what a douche

 

[The Ozzman]

obZen is still the Meshuggah album I go back to the most these days

Hexen?

Surprised Ereb Altor only made it on one list. Especially since quite a few people here claim to love Hammerheart so much.

Old Wainds needs to hurry up with the next year. If he’s not done it soon I may start the thread.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You did the rankings, just choose the next year, fuck him

 

[rms]

[The Ozzman]

[Bloopy]

Retrieve the fabled GMD Poll D32 from its velvet-lined case and roll it into the pentagram. Yeah, the one with the candles around it.

That's actually not a bad idea

 

[EternalMetal]

Just realized how stacked this was. Nice job lads.

Haha, didnt realize that until now either. Upsetting the in-crowd one djent at a time

I am otherwise not a big Meshuggah fan myself, but obZen is just a fucking monster of an album. I understand why this album is so polarizing, but this is the rhythm of a lurching war machine and I love it.

Merely dropping 'in crowd' in any thread upsets them tbh. It's not really hard to do it.

 

[EspaDa]

[Baroque]

Bump to get these results in the yearly master thread

Can't believe I missed this year while I was gone. This is a great fucking year, can't believe all the complaining and whining I saw going through this thread as well, was happy to see Dak post a HBB-tier autistic list too.

Very few of the final ten would have been in my list, which would have looked something like this:

1. Wastelander - Wardrive
2. Revelation - Release
3. The Wizar'd - Infernal Wizardry
4. Grand Magus - Iron Will
5. Coffins - Buried Death
6. Toxic Holocaust - An Overdose of Death...
7. Aura Noir - Hades Rise
8. Isole - Bliss of Solitude
9. Lord Vicar - Fear No Pain
10. Darkthrone - Dark Thrones and Black Flags

HM:

The Gates of Slumber - Conqueror
Ironsword - Overlords of Chaos
Fall of the Idols - The Séance

Great fucking year. Sucks I didn't participate.
