Sooo, what's your favourite 2007 albums so far?

[BlueSky]

um...

both bands go hand in hand apparently


something about lyrical content.

 

[Phoenix5]

Aye!

Paul Kuhr writes way better lyrics than John Davis ever could try to...that is if John Davis ever actually wrote the lyrics.

Why pull that card? What did Novembers Doom ever do to you?

haha

 

[84n44n]

um...

oh yeah i forgot that because korn arent doom metal that they cant be one of my faveourite bands

 

[Phoenix5]

I was just giving you crap. Nothing serious.

 

[scott89]

LOL

i know

 

[KittyKatatonia]

novembers doom so far, but come july 31st when Korn's new album comes out i think il have a new favourite

 

[LifeDepraved]

That new Of Montreal cd is pretty cool. They are pretty interesting.

 

[Tumn]

Anyone checked out Zonaria - Infamy and the Breed? It's pretty fuckin good.

 

[Phoenix5]

I just bought the new Paradise Lost. It's very solid and growing on me. It could be up there in a few weeks as one of my favorite.

 

[Phoenix5]

and also, as of recently...

Blackfield II is growing on me.

 

[Deliverance6]

Dodheimsgard- supervillian outcast.

 

[TheGreatColdOpeth]

Dream Theater- Systematic Chaos (well, its good)
Porcupine Tree- Fear Of A Blank Planet
Jesu- Conqueror

 

[84n44n]

Anyone checked out Zonaria - Infamy and the Breed? It's pretty fuckin good.

I probably will tomorrow. Heard some really good things about it... I'm always up for some good melodeath in these times of mediocrity

and also, as of recently...

Blackfield II is growing on me.

heh, same thing happened to me a few months ago. It's an amazing album but for some reason it never really clicked until the 10th listen or so.


And even though I haven't heard it yet, I think The Absence's newest might turn out to be pretty damn good as well.

 

[Aprilhäxan]

I think the best ones are still to come. New Elvira Madigan promises to be f**king good. I talked to Marcus a bit and he said everything worked just perfect. Let's see...

 

[Androz]

I just got the new Manic Street Preachers album, it has really catchy songs, soundwise it could be placed between The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go

 

[LORD DARKSOUL]

Dodheimsgard- supervillian outcast.

I totally could not get into this album AT ALL. Nor the new Mayhem.

All of my long time favorite metal bands are releasing stuff that I find completely underwhelming these days. That's why I resort to listening to Cocteau Twins while dancing around drunk and making out with anything with a heartbeat (including animals)... it's the only way I can escape the stark realization that metal has taken a giant nosedive into the shitter.

 

[Alcapoth]

Oh geez... the new Mayhem is quite fucking good. In fact, it was a very pleasant surprise for me. Anti...wow.

 

[Aprilhäxan]

Forgot to mention I really like Pain - Psalms Of Extinction. Sometimes Peter goes too much poppish, but that's ok, he even added some growling this time... Nice done. And new Paradise Lost goes without saying - I never expected to hear anything like that from them anymore...
