The Best Non-metal Album of The Year

[the mourner13]

The Killers-Sam's Town...for sure.

 

[discouraged1]

hmmm.

i would go for The Gathering [Home], Damien Rice [9] and Tim Hecker [Harmony In Ultraviolet]

 

[ialokin]

i'd vote for tim hecker as well.

 

[i aint play this]

Mew's ''And the glass handed kites'' is an outstanding album, gorgeous, intelligent pop music.
Scott Walker's ''The Drift'' destroys too, scary as hell, a true genius.

 

[agnostik]

Flёur "Все вышло из под контроля" =)

 

[Soundjunkie]

Tool - 10,000 Days

 

[i aint play this]

^If 10.000 days is considered non-metal then i'll definetely pick that one too

 

[Mort Divine]

Joanna Newsom - Ys

Tool is hardly guitar driven. defiantly Hard Rock. not metal.

 

[i aint play this]

Well they use some heavy power chords and intense drumming that is typical of metal, they aren't really metal but i wouldn't label them as hard rock either, more like Psychedelic heavy rock? lol

 

[Phoenix5]

Prog. Leave Tool at that, because like many bands you will fail to classify them.

 

[LifeDepraved]

Thursday - A City By The Light Divided

Yeah shhhh...

 

[BlueSky]

tool is hard prog rock. also if tool is hard rock so is katatonia


katatonia
tool (although most might consider them metal anyhow)
mars volta

 

[i aint play this]

lol no Tool isn't prog...King crimson, Floyd, Rush and Camel are prog, they are prog-influenced but not ''prog'' at all, btw fuck that who cares, it is just a question of iyo and imo anyway

 

[i aint play this]

Forgot Joanna Newsom's cd ''ys'', really great...

 

[BlueSky]

they are definitely progressive, no doubt about it. tool is the king crimson/pink floyd of our day son. look at us discussing genres without resorting to violence, how cute.

 

[painergrey]

David Gilmour.. no doubt on that! Best of the year. Metal, non-metal, whatever

 

[paradoxile]

The Gathering's "Home" for me...I listened to it almost as much as I did to the great cold distance...oh and anneke is hot
I'd also say Amorphis- Eclipse but I don't know whether to classify the new amorphis as metal

 

[Vincent J.]

Offshore by Early Day Miners
Though I'm not 100% sure it's from 2006

It's the best of the year I think...When I opened this thread I was trying to say no metal at ALL by saying non-metal...Amorphis surely have metal songs in Eclipse...
