OT: BWBK's top 10 of 2005

[Yngvai X]

This is always a list I look forward to since BWBK is arguably the best metal mag in North America:


1. Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
2. Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
3. Candlemass - S/T
4. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
5. Kreator - Enemy of God
6. Brainstorm - Liquid Monster
7. Children of Bodom - Are you Dead Yet?
8. Gamma Ray - Majestic
9. Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny of Souls
10. Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine


glad to see Nevermore got #1. I've been saying that album slayed everything else this year since it came out. Same goes for Kreator breaking the top 5. Once again, killer disc. And I'm glad the new Bodom broke the top 10 too...I definitely think its one of the strongest of their career so far.

 

[Horus]

I agree with that list. Very much so.

 

[WhoFooldU]

I'm so unmetal...i have none of these. Oh the horrors!

:Spin:

 

[Platinum Maze]

I have all of them except for Gamma Ray, and I'd say that's a pretty fair representation. TGE is not my fav out of all of them, but hey.....

I also dont think the Priest album is THAT good....probably should not be in the top 10. The Dickinson and Candlemass albums didnt impress me either, but I've heard others rave about them.

IMO, Are you dead yet wouldn't have been on that list. #1 would be Ghost Reveries and a SUPER CLOSE #2 would be This Godless Endeavour. I'm too lazy to think of what the other ones would be.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Swallow the Sun = Number 1 of '05
Kreator = #2
God Dethroned =#3

everything else after that is up for grabs.

 

[Phrozenspite]

not a bad list... definitely agree with Nevermore getting #1. Out of curiosity has anyone seen the Terrorizer top 40 yet? Thats always a fairly interesting list.

 

[ShredManWalking]

Nevermore is INCREDIBLE. I saw them live at the House of Blues in Cleveland, which was the show they recorded for their upcoming DVD.

 

[RobbM]

Nevermore deserves to be #1. I'm surprised to not see Trivium's Ascendancy on that list too..another one of my favorites from '05...

 

[Tubbs]

OMG the only one I got is Ghost Reveries. Damn I need to go get some more metal!

 

[Demonspell]

I've only heard three, Nevermore (I don't usually agree with BWBK but they got this one right), Opeth, and Bruce.

 

[Thraxz]

I hate that list and really dislike Nevermore. I only like about half of list, let alone think they are the best.

 

[Taliwakker]

I think the list is pretty average too....a couple of good ones (Opeth, Kreator) though...the Nevermore album is fairly good musically but i've never been a huge fan of Warrell's vox.

 

[rockyracoon]

Bad. Just bad.

 

[duffman7p]

Russell allen/jorn lande - the battle was #16 and Yngwie was at #60! I'm surprized the first i had heard of that russel allen this was in this issue (which by the way sucks, don't buy it) and shocked to see that arch enemy beat YJM by 50 albums

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Nevermore is INCREDIBLE. I saw them live at the House of Blues in Cleveland, which was the show they recorded for their upcoming DVD.

Hey, I was there, too.

 

[proulxski]

hey don't be hating 'the battle' it pwnedzorz

 

[cold103]

I'll give that list a 3/5 rating.

 

[The Stormbringer]

I hate that list and really dislike Nevermore. I only like about half of list, let alone think they are the best.

That was refreshing, thanks. I don't have any one of those albums, and though I'm not that much into Power Metal anymore, Gamma Ray and Bruce Dickinson are the ones that interest me most... draw your conclusions.
