My metal list

[Soul of Ice]

Seeing shreddy's list I thought I should make one as well.

I know they all rule, but i want to hear your opinions anyway

MMM interesting Soul of Ice.. Quite a mix in there.
Thumbs up..

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Woah, WAY different than mine! But thats a good thing. Great list bt/w. And thanx for pionting out a a horrible choise in which I relaced in with (genius was replaced with terria) I dont have most of the cd's unfortunately...

 

[Demonspell]

Great list...I'd rank at least ten of those albums as being close to perfection...

 

[ClarifyAmbiguity]

If I had one Iced Earth album, it probably wouldn't be Burnt Offerings...although it really is a top notch work. The rest of IE's albums are more consistent, especially their masterpiece, Night of the Stormrider, and The Dark Saga.

Granted, "Dante's Inferno" is easily one of the greatest metal songs ever. The live version on Alive in Athens is even better!

 

[arglebargle]

I find the clean vocals in Into Eternity quite mediocre.

 

[The Yngster]

I like the clean vocals, more than the death ones at least. IMO the bassist (I think its the bassist) has a better voice than the guitarist thats doing most of the vocals.

 

[Soul of Ice]

Great list...I'd rank at least ten of those albums as being close to perfection...

Thanks. Which ones do you consider close to perfection?

 

[wartorn2112]

That OSI is great, its like Dream Theater doing their best Pink FLoyd impression except a little more electronica.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I find the clean vocals in Into Eternity quite mediocre.

I find all the vocals in Into Eternity quite mediocre... the only weak point for me... still a cool thing that they do though...

[Soul of Ice]

progfan:
I might understand giving 7d a 0 cause you dont like the style (still harsh, have you actually heard it?), but Alice in Chains 0?

Are you fucking kidding? Give credit where credit is due.

It seems like we have a very diff view on music, but thats still cool though.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

sorry Soul, I don't like Alice in Chains... I like/love most of the albums on your list... i'll admit to not hearing the 7dust album... but I saw them live once... and I hated it...

I wrote a prog4you.com review of Into Eternity's debut CD in 2001. I gave them a good review and the guys wrote to me. They had no idea where they were going, but were trying to break into the States at the time. I find them interesting...they're intentionally trying to create a new sub-genre. Lots of good talent has come out of Canada.

BTW, good CD list !

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Soul of Ice... from your list of 25... I like/love 13... that's over half!
