Nominate Albums for forthcoming Best of 2010-2020 Tourney

[Krilons Resa]

I agree. I appreciate 'em but never really got into them as much as others. I dig other bands within that realm of Metal much more, tbh.

Also, SS-tier only need apply.

 

[spikes77]

I'm really surprised Ulcerate hasn't been mentioned.

I think after a few years I would put their 2020 album up there --It's really good-

 

[SonOfNun]

Wytch Hazel - II

Yus!

I've been listening to all three to see which I would choose if I get more picks in the tourney and I'm actually digging "Prelude" the most.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Elder - Dead Roots Stirring
Arch/Matheos - Sympathetic Resonance
Vektor - Outer Isolation/Terminal Redux (pick one)

One of these can replace my 5th option. Pick any one of them. I'd pick something else but these are probably the most accessible and the ones that others on the forum would generally dig. My tastes have changed over the past decade, heavily veering off from other's on RC.

Edit: Also, shouldn't this be 2010-2019?

Mayhaps, but this forum always was a little off. Anyhow added all 3 of these for the sake of diverse listening. Also selected 5 from Henrik's list of 8 since he's gone ghost. We're at 62/64.

Need 2 more, preferably some power houses that have been omitted.

I dont know how gung ho everyone will be in a month. I got more recos in my back pocket. We COULD draw this shit out for months and up the bracket to 128. It would be a LONG road spanning months ala 2008. Input appreciated.

Looking at dropping Bracket A (32 of 64) on May 1st. That gives everyone a two week head start for a cursory overview. Once matchups are made, we can all get more intimate with it.

Holla holla.

Vaura's pretty good, but think it will suffer from the inability to peel away the layers to uncover the magic. I hear something special there, but not in the immediate. This is typically a good thing, but not conducive towards winning a tourney against 63 other offerings. Going to make an effort to listen to it a few extra times compared to the rest as a benefit of the doubt /non-disservice.

 

[Nico]

Elder - Dead Roots Stirring

My work here is done.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Still NEED 2 albums to round it out.

Also, should we institute a stage of Veto'ing? Yes sure, it would complicate things. However, if an initial listen resounds with a "im not voting for that tripe", mayhaps we can beef up the bullpen with some additional offerings.

Perhaps two member vetoes to discount an album, and can only be used once per contributor.

Just throwing out ideas, dont crucify me for my convoluted manner of being.

 

[Ellestin]

I won't veto nothing that was hailed by a fellow RC-er. Just my two euro cents.

I can get behind this. Meesa loves the melodious melodies

 

[DarkGift]

Can't believe I forgot to mention Wilderun - Veil of Imagination (2019). O(ld)peth gone progressive musical, and it's fantastic!

 

[Reign in Acai]

@DarkGift, not too late to trade albums out of ye desire.

@Doom Adding the two albums you mentioned, sorry about the oversight.

@NAD Getting rid of Agalloch, they had their weekend, they were beaten like Kevin Holland. No further discussion needed on this front, even though I sympathize with your bedside wounds.

@Everyone, If everyone wants to up it to a 128 album slow burn, speak up. I can whip another half a dozen out of my ass. Just need 9 others to do the same. They would have to be at the SS level to make it worthwhile, but surely 12+ great albums dropped each year for the past decade.

Holla holla <insert hot chick's twerking pic here>

 

[einride]

ain't no one got time to listen to 128 albums

keep it at 64 or this is not going to happen imo

and since you're all waiting for me to pull out my one-trick-pony trick, here goes: there probably hasn't even BEEN 128 good metal albums this decade

 

[Reign in Acai]

Fair enough, input appreciated.

FFS im already drifting from my intial head start objective of listening to everything pre tourney. I just would feel mighty solemn leaving out a gem or two. Im an Outlaw Torn.
