Needs more Wolfmother.

They'd probably sneak into my top 5 million.

 

[CiG]

lmao. I remember when they were the hugest thing around, boy they didn't last long.

 

[jimmy101]

One album to be exact. Their follow up was a massive flop.

Jet too. I never liked those retro bands, if you wanna listen to old-sounding music in my opinion, JUST LISTEN TO OLD MUSIC!!

 

[CiG]

I didn't mind Jet TBH, the first few albums or whatever.

 

[jimmy101]

Not my cup of tea personally.

 

[CiG]

Many a night I got drunk listening to these guys.

How would you rank the Doomsword albums? Just curious, I love Resound the Horn and My Name Will Live On but I haven't been able to get into the others.

How would you rank the Doomsword albums? Just curious, I love Resound the Horn and My Name Will Live On but I haven't been able to get into the others.

Something like this:

Resound the Horn
My Name Will Live On
Let Battle Commence
Doomsword
The Eternal Battle

Personally I think they're all great, they don't really stray from the formula so I'm wondering why you can't get into the rest.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Well the s/t is pretty unrefined and has some parts that don't work at all, like the spoken voice part on Helm's Deep really takes me out of the music. And Let Battle Commence I've listened to several times but nothing really grabs me like the best tracks on Resound the Horn and My Name Will Live On. The most recent one I haven't listened to much at all.

 

[CiG]

Fair criticism about the debut, definitely unrefined and some ideas don't quite stick the landing, but for me they're forgivable.

 

[no country for old wainds]

'the eternal battle' is my favourite probs, i haven't spent enough time with that band to really be sure of that though.

Christ, can't order mine. But these are the my top 5.

Atrocity - Longing for Death
Destruction - Eternal Devastation
Moonblood - Taste Our German Steel!
Nox Intempesta - Damnanus Dominum
Poison - Into the Abyss


HMs for the likes of Gates to Purgatory, In the Sign of Evil, Descend into the Absurd, Infernal Overkill, Celts, ...En Their Medh Riki Fara, Blut und Krieg.

I have a feeling there's something I'm missing!

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Resound the Horn is a top 5 21st century metal album for me, I return to it a lot. I hope they put out a new one soon, I feel like they have the potential to make a serious AOTY contender.
