Half way through the year - best album so far?

[Id]

the guy that said ruun sucks should ruun away to the doctor and get some ear implants :burnward:

 

[Don Corleone]

biggest disappointment: 10,000 days

i probably held my hopes WAY TOO high after lateralus...only a couple of good songs on this one and the rest were just fillers. FACT!

 

[Rødt_Og_Svart]

summoning and enslaved so far

 

[Scourge of Malice]

yea, the metalhead has higher standards than me. the fact you even BOTHERED to listen to a new saturnus, kalmah and amorphis record shows how much more time to listen to "mediocre" music you have than me.

Hey hey, the new Amorphis hardly deserves to be shit on.... but the fact that he pissed on Runn is rediculous for sure.

 

[Pethical]

Top 3 so far for me:

1 - Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway
2 - Enslaved - Ruun
3 - Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain

 

[affinityband]

Paatos-Silence of Another Kind
Enslaved-Ruun
Madder Mortem-Desiderata

 

[narcoleptic haze]

Woven Hand - Mosaic


By far the best thing i've heard thus far.

 

[Peachy]

At the moment, Dolorian - Voidwards and Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance, the latter being the best, the former a very close second.

Others that I also like and are vying for the top spot, depending on how I feel at the moment -- The Ocean - Aeolian (I think this came out in 2005 in Europe) and Enslaved - Ruun

 

[Jon Snow]

RUUN

 

[NFU]

Woven Hand - Mosaic


By far the best thing i've heard thus far.

its good to hear David's latest output get mentioned. i dont know if its the best thing to come out all year, but its definitely in my top 10.

 

[NFU]

Hey hey, the new Amorphis hardly deserves to be shit on.... but the fact that he pissed on Runn is rediculous for sure.

actually it does. it was absolutely atrocious.

 

[Towedwart]

The new Appleseed Cast is f'in mint.

Is Dolorian anything like Katatonia's latest?

Also, while Fluxion and Fogdiver were extremely impressive, Aeolian imo is rather bland. And yeah it came out in 05.
I don't have a clear fav for 06 yet, though if the new Red Sparowes track is anything to go by, then that album is going to be a top contender.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

actually it does. it was absolutely atrocious.

Nay.

 

[NFU]

Nay.

no seriously, i wouldnt lie to you. its awful.

 

[i aint play this]

actually it does. it was absolutely atrocious.

.

I mentioned that album in the ''terrible bands thread'' and i will say it again: that album is fucking garbage...

 

[Scourge of Malice]

And I'll say it again: I disagree. I do wish they kept their last vocalist though, the new guys even more cheesy sounding. Theres some vocal parts that seem like something that would be in South Park.

 

[narcoleptic haze]

actually it does. it was absolutely atrocious.

For a second I thought you guys were talking about Alice In Ultraland. :Spin:

 

[truls]

ishahn- the adversary
enslaved-ruun
keep of kalessin-armada
gorgoroth- ad majorem satanhas gloriam
green carnation-the acoustic verses
madder mortem- desiderata
motorpsycho-black hole\black canavas

looking thorugh I realise those are only norwegian bands...
so I am adding bal sagoth- the chthonic cronicles

 

[spigot]

Calexico - Garden Ruin; this has a couple of brilliant tracks.
