[no country for old wainds]

The fact that Kollex organised this suggests to me that the results probably aren't accurate anyway.

 

[Barnolde]

I think that it's a pretty good list, but if I were to change that list I'd probably put Agalloch - The Mantle in the #1 spot, I'd lower Anthems, (since I like ITNE is better) Reign In Blood, Opeth and Dimmu Borgir (I don't think they should have that many albums in there anyway), put in Decapitated - Winds of Creation and Cannibal Corpse - Gallery Of Suicide, since I feel those albums are better than Nihility and Bloodthirst. And no Neuraxis is just plain WRONG!

forgot the antichrist was recorded by Destruction. not that having 4 or 5 points makes more than none. being there are over 500 albums voted for, you can't blame me for forgetting one can you ?

I doubt you would do better. you would just rig it farcially to try and push your own agenda across (by probably putting some crappy KVLT act like Hate Forest at number one)

 

[kollex]

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

Deicide- Legion-number 351
Dying Fetus- Killing On Adrenaline-didnt chart
Emperor- IX Equilibrium-number 448
Gorguts- Obscura- didn't chart
Meshuggah- Contradictions Collapse didnt chart
Morbid Angel- Covenant or Heretic- covenant at number 319
Nevermore- The Politics of Ecstasy number 387
Nile- Black Seeds of Vengeance number 113
Soilwork- A Predator's Portrait or Chainheart Machine numbers 218 and 244
S.O.D.- Speak English or Die number-didnt chart

 

[no country for old wainds]

I'm sure I've told you countless times on Messenger that I don't like Hate Forest. Regardless, I was just making a general comment, it wasn't really relevant to that single error.

Dying Fetus- Killing On Adrenaline

Indeed.

I love some of the songs in there like "Killing On Adrenaline", "Absolute Defiance", and "Intentional Manslaughter". For Dying Fetus I voted their Destroy The Oppositon album.

 

[Electronicoil]

Disagreements are inevitable. But that said, a fine list.

 

[SculptedCold]

Destroy the Opposition is such a wonderful riff fest....was listening to it today and wondered why it'd been so long since it had had a spin...

 

[Stand-Ablaze]

Master of Puppets over Ride the Lightning? Nooo

Good list, spot on really.

 

[MrMajs]

Too much black metal crap. 9) Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger > 90) Black Sabbath-Paranoid ;28) Dimmu Borgir-Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia > 82) Judas Priest-Painkiller; 13) Mayhem-De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas > 97) Testament-the new order;
30) Carcass-Heartwork > 75) Iron Maiden-Number of the beast;

Haha

Wow, best random thread I've ever found in a forum search. I haven't been here for very long, so could some one explain to me how this was conducted, and perhaps point me to some other relevant threads? I'm damn curious about this. If there have been any more recent surveys, I'd like to see them. If not... I say do another one!

 

[DarkBliss]

Wow that's an old thread witth some truly outdated opinions of certain posters.

 

[Hubster]

Good to see Black Metal being a big part of it, but what's with all the Opeth gayness

:Smug:

 

[metal_wrath]

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

'Pallar Anders Visa' and 'Behind Space 99' were pretty much filler


Moonshield, Jester Dance and Jester Race are awesome



edit: nvm, fucking old thread
