GNMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1995

[Talos of Atmora]

Where does this rank in their discog for you?

Now that you ask, I can't say. I'd have to listen to some albums I haven't listened to in some time again before I could ever do an actual ranking. I think it's really good though.

@HamburgerBoy What, you don't like it?

 

[Krow]

I'm gonna use AiC because in the metal thread they'd be frowned upon.


Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains
Sol Invictus - In the Rain
Death in June - Rose Clouds of Holocaust
Gov't Mule - Gov't Mule
Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
GZA - Liquid Swords
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie

I really cant come up with more than that.

@HamburgerBoy What, you don't like it?

Just haven't heard it. Not a band I feel an urge to be completionist for, but it's been a while since I've heard a new one so might as well be that one if it's one of their better.

i doubt it

 

[CiG]

Not sure if it makes a difference, but sometimes with games from that era you could chuck the CD-ROM into your stereo to play the music.

Holy shit really? That's awesome.

Ozric Tentacles - Become the Other

@HamburgerBoy by the end of "Cat DNA" I think you'll be sold.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I second CIG's statement.

 

[CiG]

@Terasophe have at it man, you'll like this year methinks.

[no country for old wainds]

1. Dead Moon - Nervous Sooner Changes

ooo i haven't heard this one. definitely checking it before doing my list.

 

[Sophii]

OLD is on the Metal-Archives tho

Formula, their last release was a straight up Techno/EDM album. They dropped their grindcore/metal sound and did that as a last hoorah. Honestly their best fuckin album tied with Lo Flux Tube.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Aight, never listened to that one

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

GZA is one those joke rappers who thinks reading the dictionary and throwing together mumbojumbo salads is skill.

 

[CiG]

Honestly, my favourite by them.

GZA is one those joke rappers who thinks reading the dictionary and throwing together mumbojumbo salads is skill.

He's not technical at all imo, thats why i said mumbojumbo. But from what i remember the eastcoast fans around here would say that he has the "largest vocabulary" out of any rapper. Which is a ridiculously funny statement imo and pushes what i was implying again
