MDB/Incantation/Immortal
 
Demigod and Demilich are so far ahead of the rest of the albums, they really just need bumped onto the list (Demilich is 2nd and 15 votes in front of Incantation)... instead of them being placeholders for a while. They're going to make it, either way.
 
It only takes a couple of +2's for Demigod for that to happen.

btw, add The Spectre Within to the big list Mr. crimsonfloyd, thx.

After Avigrus
I understand and fully expected Opeth, Agalloch, etc being featured early, but I don't think that there's enough variation between their discographies to warrant three albums from each in the top ~50-100.

Fair enough. I think there is plenty of variation in both bands discographies, but I can see why you would think otherwise.

Lateralus14 said:
When did I say anything about something needing to be old? You're putting words in my mouth. In fact, I think Watching From a Distance and Graves of the Archangels deserve to be in the top 100. And Opeth and Agalloch are some of my favorite bands, but as far as viewing their albums as METAL albums of the highest caliber, I simply don't; at least half the appeal of both of those bands is in non-metal elements, if not more.

Well I got that impression, since most of your criticisms had been laid at new albums. If the real reason is the large presence of non-metal elements, then that makes sense, though I ultimately don't think it matters. They're clearly metal bands and while other elements are involved, that's often been true of metal, from Black Sabbath onwards.

Cmon why the hell does Nespithe keep getting voted up. As soon as Slumber makes it, Nespithe will make it in as well. This should have happened awhile ago. I'm not wasting my votes on Slumber anymore, I've been the only one doing it.
