- feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@CiG hey can you give me a few more days for this one? I want to re-listen to a few of the albums that make up the bottom half of my list.

 

[CiG]

I haven't heard that Dillinger album yet but I tend to think of them as non-metal, am I alone in this?

No probs mate.

You’re definitely not. RYM counts metalcore/mathcore as subgenre of metal, Metal Archives does not. There’s a lot going on the album, and it’s definitely not just metal, but I have a hard time listening to it and thinking “that’s not a metal album.”
