Sacramentum better then Dissection... hahaha!...

Ever heard Far Away From The Sun?

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

51) Possessed-seven churches

What. The. Fuck? Only 51?

 

[CountSorion]

Sacramentum's Far Away From the Sun is by far better than anything dissection has ever done.

(to the Misfit guy) Thanks for having that opinion. It's better to keep the idiots out of the genre.

 

[J.]

I guess Sacramentum went downhill after Far Away From the Sun. I've only heard Thy Black Destiny and The Coming of Chaos and they don't come close to touching Dissection.

 

[J.]

I've got 46 of 'em.

 

[SculptedCold]

Ha ha, I win.

It's not a competition, but to put you in your place ya cocky cunt, i've got 61, as I said above. ^

Nelson Muntz - Ha ha

 

[Caelum Adustum]

I've got 66.

 

[SculptedCold]

Good stuff. It'd be cooler if you had 666.

 

[lord667]

I've only got 29 of them. However, I am and always will be glad that I don't own any Dark Tranquillity albums.

 

[SculptedCold]

Heh, I was really just making fun of the fact that I had exactly one more album than Dreamlord. Really, having many of these is nothing but a measurement of how trendy you are. :Smug:

Seriously, I, too, feel that there is far too little representation of doom metal in the list. Then again, doom is probably the least understood metal genre, so...

Yeah, i'd agree with that. Doom is my least listened-to genre, I have to be in a very specific mood for it otherwise I find it quite boring.

I prefer The Coming of Chaos to most Dissection as well, actually, but I get why some people don't.

 

[kollex]

Only the title track and I think its pretty good (don't really like the stuff I've heard off of the other albums though). Don't get me wrong I see where the apeal is with this band, I just don't think they are nearly as good of songwriters or composers as Dissection. Both bands seem to have simliar goals (as far as the message behind their music) and I think Dissection is far superior at achieving their goal.

Honestly, you should try the entire album for making such a statement. None of Sacramentum's other work is anywhere near as good. Composition/songwriting-wise, Far Away From The Sun is virtually on a par with the greatest albums ever. Far more sophisticated than anything Dissection ever did.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Well I'll get the rest of the album, but I really don't think they express themselves nearly as well as Dissection, but yeah I'll see what I think after hearing the whole album...

 

[Hobo11]

id think some Symphony X, Dream Theater, and Nightwish would be there. Otherwise, a great list, better than anything else I can see.

 

[Edgecrusher]

I think these albums deserve a spot on there, perhaps a top 110 list?

Deicide- Legion
Dying Fetus- Killing On Adrenaline
Emperor- IX Equilibrium (should be there instead of Prometheus)
Gorguts- Obscura
Meshuggah- Contradictions Collapse
Morbid Angel- Covenant or Heretic
Nevermore- The Politics of Ecstasy
Nile- Black Seeds of Vengeance
Soilwork- A Predator's Portrait or Chainheart Machine
S.O.D.- Speak English or Die

what a suckass top 20

 

[MasterOLightning]

How did Colony top The Jester Race? I would call those the top two from In Flames, but there's a bit of filler on Colony.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

imo, theres too much filler on TJR (moonshield, jesters dance, graveland, the jester race), while Colony is perfect from start to finish.
