Metal album of the year 2005

[SMP840]

Black Label Society: Mafia

Damn people, no God Forbid or High on Fire? I actually thought it was a pretty decent year in music, nothing like last year though with Mastadon and Killswitch Engage albums, but still good.

1. God Forbid-Constitution of Treason
2. High on Fire-Blessed Black Wings
3. Black Dahlia Murder: Miamisa
4. Corrosion of Conformity: In the Arms of God
5. Strapping Young Lad: Alien
6. Children of Bodom: Are You Dead Yet?
7. Chimaira: S/T
8. Trivium: Ascendency
9. Soilwork: Stabbing the Drama
10. Life of Agony: Broken Valley

Honorable Mentions:
Roadrunner All Stars. Talk shit all you want, but an album with many good songs and original as hell.
Exodus: Shovel Headed Kill Machine. Liked it, but not grabbing me for some reason.
Soulfly: Dark Ages. Good, but too much filler during second half.

Also a good year in that I discovered At The Gates, Life of Agony, and Carcass this year and their Slaughter of the Soul, Heartwork, and River Runs Red albums deserve mad props.

I would have to say it's a toss up between BLS-Mafia and SOAD-Mesmerize/ Hypnotize.

IMO of course!

Exodus - S.H.K.M.

 

[Carcassian]

No offence, but if I was "rockin like dokken" I'd be keeping it quiet...

 

[Myke Havoc]

Excuse me bro, but that little blip is an inside joke; a saying I've used for a while...It actually expresses on my part when something sucks, for I have a strong dislike for Dokken...

So, uh, keep your negative comments to yourself and stay on topic. If you have an opinion on my choice, then that would be interesting to debate...

Anthrax - Alive II is all up there too!
