Wow, I'm very surprised that Damnation is getting such a warm response here. Almost everyone else I've heard described it as a very pedestrian, tepid, and predictable aping of 70's rock. As for myself, I heard it once and I decided instantly that I was not going to buy it.

The best albums this year, at least to me, are:

Solefald - In Harmonia Universali
AFI - Sing the Sorrow
Nasum - Helvete
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

Other than Solefald, nothing released this year has inspired me nearly as much as Dredg's release of El Cielo last year.

 

[Morpheus]

spot on mate! you're the first one here (besides me) who mentioned Dredg!

El Cielo is a really good album i think, and the first one is as well!

cheers

 

[Usherette]

El Cielo: masterpiece

 

[sol83]

emm, who the hell are dredg? can i find some samples anywhere?

 

[LuminousAether]

I'm sure you can find Dredg on Kazaa or Winmx quite easily. They sound sort of like a mix of Radiohead and Tool, but even if you don't like those bands you should still give them a listen.

 

[sol83]

cheers. :Spin:

[Morpheus]

[Mariner]

aaaaaah now i get it! yeah.
bastard

 

[Morpheus]

so Sol did yer listen to some dredg songs already? I'd like to know what yer think about them!

 

[sol83]

emm, not yet. i'm kinda drunk now so i'd better have a go at 'em tomorrow...

 

[LuminousAether]

I can see how someone wouldn't like Viva Emptiness. Of course, they'd have to be deaf...

 

[Mariner]

hoho. polly tell me whats so great about it...

*whining mode on: ...*

What's so great about Viva Emptiness? Please, allow me.

Everything is great about the album. The production, the guitars, the heaviness, the vocals, the arrangements, the darkness(o the darkness), melancholy has a strength this time. Katatonia has matured as a band totally, and nobody can stop them now.

Enjoy the Evidence.

Yeah, Blackheim's guitars on Viva Emptiness are just... awesome.
