7) Procession - Doom Decimation
8) Midnight - Sweet Death and Ecstasy
9) Acid Witch - Evil Sound Screamers
10) Manilla Road - To Kill a King

Too many that I still haven't really checked out. Listening to Horisont right now and might have to throw that in somewhere.

What did you think of the Nupraptor album? It sounds like something that you would like.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I haven't actually checked it out yet. I really only wanted to include a list of stuff that I've actually heard more than, you know, once. Honestly, there's a pretty steep decline after the Pagan Altar album for be and an even sharper decline after Satan's Hallow.

 

[Omni]

While I feel that the Pagan Altar album is their best post-reunion material, it might not even make my top 10 at this point because there are a lot of sleeper hits this year.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

That's pretty crazy

10) Manilla Road - To Kill a King

GATHER THE FAITHFUL AND PROPOSE A TOAST
TO THE EPOCH OF INDIFFERENCE

AN ALL TOO ORDINARY STORY

 

[Omni]

That's pretty crazy

Yeah, it must seem crazy that most people are able like more than four or five bands as much as you like Pagan Altar.

I thought the new album was just as good as their previous albums if not a bit better. Also, I haven't heard that many other albums from this year so it was pretty easy putting it in my top 10.

 

[CiG]

This year's Manilla Road was better than their last album, but not as good as Mysterium yet it is better than Playground of the Damned.

 

[The Ozzman]

I haven't heard that many other albums

How many did you purchase this year?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Mysterium is the worst one of the bunch TBH.

And purchase? Not that many. I tend to stream most of my music these days

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah, Mysterium is pretty weak from what i remember.

 

[Krow]

yeah, Mysterium is pretty weak from what i remember.

Their last three or so have been pretty underwhelming tbh. Gotta keep pumping them out to sell more records though, ya know.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the hellwell is more interesting than any of 'em so get on it losers

 

[Omni]

I don't think that Mark is trying to make tons of money with new Manilla Road albums. I think that he just really likes recording with his band. He seems to have a ton of fun with it.

He clearly makes most of his money from touring.

 

[Omni]

Also I agree with GoD that Hellwell is better than the recent Manilla Road albums, even though E.C. Hellwell is most likely just Mark.

 

[CiG]

Mysterium isn't fucking weak, maybe compared to their albums that are universally praised but holy shit if you think Mysterium is weak compared to Playground of the Damned, The Blessed Curse or To Kill a King I really don't know what to say to you. Fix your fucking ears.

The title track alone...

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh fuck off with all the butthurt. It's by far the weakest Manilla Road album i've heard and it wouldn't even crack my top 10 for that year. Most people that love the band didn't even give much of a shit about that album either.

 

[CiG]

There you go again, trying to appeal to the majority opinion. That's like your special move or something. What next, screenshots of RYM's user ratings?

When was the last time you even listened to it? Does @Master_Yoda77 even own a copy of the album?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

no you fucking idiot, as in im not alone with that opinion. And i meant most of the people here anyway. You're the one who fucking looks for the approve of others here on a regular basis, so its hilarious that you would try to flip that card on me.

 

[CiG]

Thanks for reiterating my point about you always appealing to majority opinion.
