Metal Rules top 50 for 2003

Not too bad, though theres some weird selections, I dont think Dance Of Death is anywhere near the number one album of the year though. Heretic by MA shouldnt be at 24 either, its not very good.

 

[The Amazer]

Type O Negative - Life is Killing me should be in the top 10, not #49

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It was a disappointing year thats for sure, but I really like DoD, and it was probably the only release that DIDN'T disappoint me (though I still haven't got Train Of Thought).

Rheingold is a solid album, and just when I start to really get into it, I go back and listen to Excalibur again and it just doesn't hold a candle. Excalibur is fucking incredible. Rheingold is still good, though.

It took a damn long time, but Enemies Of Reality finally got its hooks into me and I started to appreciate it, which is weird since I got into DHIADW from the get go. Solid album with some good stuff, but still disappointing.

I'm surprised that I actually have 15 of these albums. I don't like many of them though.

 

[phlogiston]

I've got TWO of them. Cos I'm metal.

 

[Mark]

I have 10. I paid for 1

 

[phlogiston]

2. Dungeon - A Rise to Power
Standard power metal from Australia. This years second most unnecessary release.

[Mark]

oooomahhhhhh!!

 

[spawn]

I have 29 I paid for them all

 

[Southy]

I got sooo much music last year yet I got 5 of their best of list, all the stuff they missed, silly bastards

 

[Blitzkrieg]

What a crock, ARTP is far from standard, either the guy didn't listen to it or he is a dipshit.

 

[Sydo]

I only have six of them. And out of those 6, my top three would go;
Anthrax - We've Come for You All
Helloween - Rabbith Don't Come Easy
Black Label Soc - The Blessed Hellride

The other three were hardly worth mentioning, so I wont.

2. Dungeon - A Rise to Power

Standard power metal from Australia. This years second most unnecessary release.

​

What a fucking cockhead. I can think of at least a dozen power metal albums that came out last year that truly ARE standard, and far more unnecessary than ARTP.

1.
Highland Glory - From the Cradle to the Brave. Lame, lame, lame, with the lamest cover art ever.

2.

Seventh Avenue - Between the Worlds. What's worse than your very average power metal album? A very average CHRISTIAN power metal album.

3.

Human Fortress - Defenders of the Crown. Like Grave Digger, but lame.

4.

Insania - Fantasy. Could they get any more generic?

5.

Narnia - The Great Fall. What's worse than your very average power metal album? A very average CHRISTIAN power metal album.

6.

Thunderbolt - Demons and Diamonds. So imaginative, they named their album after an Atari 2600 game.

There was at least a dozen more, but I can't be bothered with them.

 

[Sydo]

I wish I got free CD's so I could shit on them

 

[Spiff]

"Seventh Avenue" sounds like an Aaron Spelling soap.

 

[Goreripper]

I wish I got free CD's so I could shit on them

Believe me, some of the stuff I get for free ain't worth paying for.

 

[Sydo]

Oh I believe you! I've bought a lot of stuff that ain't worth paying for.

 

[Goreripper]

I've developed quite a good collection of beer coasters over the years.

 

[KoichCPA]

I had this dream last night, that my arse was so hairy, I had to shave it.

 

[Goreripper]

Are you sure it was a dream?
