Surprised this hasn't been done yet, but here we go. I'm going to do this in sections so I can pad my post count and because I haven't listened to all of them yet:

Crowned in Earth - Visions of the Haunted (UK Doom)

Not bad, but no staying power. Downward Spiral has a killer groove though.

3/5 for now, but that may change as I get more listens in

Revelation - Inner Harbor

I really hate when you guys are right, but this has some killer riffing on it. I found myself tapping my foot along to a lot of these songs. 3.5/5 for now

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

8.5/10

I own a previous version of this album, but the Metal Blade reissue sounds pretty great aside from one very audible pop right at the beginning of the first track. It's the worst Cirith Ungol album for sure, but it has a few of their best songs and those do an ample job of carrying it.

Sodom - Tapping the Vein 8/10

A classic album, I love the power it emanates. Top 3 Sodom album.

Cattle Decapitation - To Serve Man

Nice riffs but drums ruin it for me. Plastic sounding and really improper as for a grindcore album. Fortunately they got better with age. 5.5/10

Nice riffs but drums ruin it for me. Plastic sounding and really improper as for a grindcore album. Fortunately they got better with age. 5.5/10

Have you heard Homovore? You think the drums on To Serve Man sound like plastic shit? It's like they were banging carrot sticks on a fucking tupperware container.

Don't know what the fuck happened because Human Jerky is fucking perfection to me, all that lentil casserole fucked their brains up for about 5 years.

"Cattle Decapitation"..."Perfection"...

wut

 

[Krow]

Better question is why you'd bother to post in a thread about music you've purchased when you dont buy shit.

"Cattle Decapitation"..."Perfection"...

wut

Disgusting gory grind metal gets me more wet than your dad's nugget pouch.

 

[The Ozzman]

Johnny Touch - Inner City Wolves (Aussie Trad)

4.25/5

This reminds me of Priest and stuff from the NWOBHM. Good shit.

 

[Krow]

Fuck yeah Johnny Touch rocks. I've had that album since it's release. Great stuff.

 

[The Ozzman]

Witch Cross - Axe to Grind (Danish Trad)

Figures that the producer for the Mercyful Fate albums was on this album. Reminds me a bit of MF/KD.

3.8/5

 

[The Ozzman]

Sinister Realm - ST (US Trad/Doom)

This is alright. Vocals remind me a bit of Candlemass.

3/5 for now

 

[The Ozzman]

The Vein - Scouring the Wreckage of Time (Danish Death/Doom)

Ehhhhhhhh

2.75/5

 

[The Ozzman]

Nunslaughter - The Devil's Congerie's, Pt 1 (US Death)

Probably won't buy another compilation by this band since it's literally 4-6 songs over and over again in different variations (live, demo, remix, etc). To be fair, I need to check out the 3 other full lengths from this band I don't own.

2.75/5

 

[The Ozzman]

Deceased... - Supernatural Addiction (US death/thrash ??)

This is a fun album. I sold this probably a decade ago because I couldn't get into it. It won't get many plays from me but it isn't bad.

3.5/5

 

[The Ozzman]

3.5/5

I'm not sure about this one. I'm of the opinion that Dark Roots of Earth is better than this but this album at least proves that Testament has been the most consistent Bay Area era thrash band ever.

 

[The Ozzman]

Revelation - Release (US Prog/Doom)

4/5

I really hate when I have to agree with faggots like @Master_Yoda77 and say that this album is actually pretty good. This album has some solid riffs on it.

Don't worry though! When I start liking Manilla Road past the first 4, Midnight, Pagan Altar, Candlemass and Olorin, then you can worry

 

[CiG]

Just agree with me instead, if it makes you feel better.

 

[Phylactery]

You don't like at least the first 2 Candlemass records?

 

[The Ozzman]

You don't like at least the first 2 Candlemass records?

The first one is okay

 

[CiG]

Serious question; do you dislike these bands because you have a strained relationship with users here that prefer those bands or are you just trolling?
