It's about that time: Final (or close too) 2007 Top 10

[EricT]

Edit: Fuck, "o" button stuck and I didn't notice.

Search function blows, was gonna bump the other thread, but it decided not to find it, or I'm blind. Anyway...

After spending the last few weeks trying to give everything the proper attention, my list has shifted quite a bit. Some albums were knocked off, some albums pushed up, and some albums pushed down. This is what my final list will probably look like.

1. In Vain - The Latter Rain
2. Darkestrah - Epos
3. Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
4. Reverend Bizarre - So Long Suckers!
5. Mael Mordha - Gaeltecht Mael Mordha
6. Slough Feg - Hardworlder
7. Deathspell Omega - Fas: Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum
8. Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters
9. Arkona - Ot Serdtsa K Nebu
10. Pale Divine - Cemetery Earth

A bit predictable in the end, aside from In Vain taking the top slot. I don't know why, but I'm absoluetly addicted to this album. I have listened to it over and over, and enjoy it more each time.

So, how are everyone else's lists shaping up?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Too early! Hour of 13 isn't in my hands!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Manegarm-Vargstenen
Vintersorg-Solens Rotter
Primordial-To The Nameless Dead
Novembers Doom-The Novella Resoirvoir
Novembre-The Blue
Fortid-Arrival of Fenris
Dimmu Borgir-In Sorte Diaboli "strictly for the Vortex parts"
In Vain-The Latter Rain
Sworn-The Alleviation
And the last one is a tie between Doomsword and Candlemass.

I also have the new Arkona, Mael Mordha, Morrigan, Menhir, Fjoergyn, and Wolves In The Throne room albums but I haven't listened to them enough to know if they'd make the list.

 

[Nico]

Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today
Primordial - The Nameless Dead
Slough Feg - Hardworlder
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

uhh....

In Rainbows?

 

[JayKeeley]

My list keeps changing, but so far I have 4 definites that will make it:

DARKESTRAH - Epos
IN VAIN - The Latter Rain
PRIMORDIAL - Nameless Dead
MORRIGAN - The Damned

There are lots fighting for the remaining 6 spots, some of which have been mentioned above.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I haven't heard shit from this year. I still keep meaning to get around to making my 2006 list.

 

[swizzlenuts]

don't like Arkha Sva anymore?

 

[Reign in Acai]

don't like Arkha Sva anymore?

I do. Primordial is growing on me as well. I was quite disappointed with this release upon initial listens. That's what I get for listening to AJE & StEA on loop for the past 2 months.

Going to listen to In Vain later today to see where they stand amongst the pack. I believe 2007 overall hasn't compared to 06, 05.

Throw Farsot in there as well.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Reverend Bizarre - III: So Long Suckers
Universe 217 - s/t
Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today
Candlemass - King Of The Grey Islands
Doomsword - My Name Will Live On
Totem - s/t
Mekong Delta - Lurking Fear
The Hidden Hand - The Resurrection Of Whiskey Foote
Slough Feg - Hardworlder
Eternal Legacy - The Coming Of The Tempest

Apart from the first two, the order is almost random.

 

[General Zod]

It's too early. However, some discs that seem destined for my Top 10:

Circus Maximus - Isolate
Darkestrah - Epos
Iced Earth -Framing Armageddon
Novembers Doom - The Novella Reservoir

[JayKeeley]

And that's just from 2007? Do you just skim through this shit?

The only reason I can even list 4 right now is because those are the only ones I'm intimately familiar with in the gay way (and even then, maybe)

EDIT: although your list just reminded me that RAVENTALE will almost certainly make my list one day

 

[Reign in Acai]

And that's just from 2007? Do you just skim through this shit?

Serious shit. I've been listening to the same dozen or so albums for the past 2-3 months. How the hell do you find the time?

 

[~Neurotica]

Raventale is 2006.

 

[skeptik]

I've only heard 26 CDs/tapes/7"es from this year...that's really not all that much. I also don't think that I have to know every single thing that I own inside and out, front and back, just the ones that are really special.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Agreed. I'm simply stuck on the same albums, as I can't get enough of what I'm hearing. I'm talking Primordial, Dub Buk, Pagan Reign, and the like.


I've put a buying freeze on my collection for the next several months.

I give you 2 weeks.

 

[jimbobhickville]

I think I've heard at least 150 discs from 2007 so far, maybe more. I haven't compiled the list yet, though, sorry.
