The Top 5 List Thread

[The Ozzman]

Top 5 Malevolent Creation albums:

1) The Ten Commandments
2) Retribution
3) Stillborn
4) Eternal
5) The Will to Kill

#5 could change depending on the day, but it was solid on revisit today. One of the more underrated death metal bands.

One of a handful of bands where I go full in crowd and say their first X albums are their best ones but I haven't heard anything from this band that is less than decent.

I'm out-crowd with them, Stillborn is my personal favourite.

I'm out-crowd with them, Stillborn is my personal favourite.

I mean, I'm really out crowd for thinking their first two albums are the two best death metal albums ever released so it's whatever. Stillborn is great though so that's a good choice. I don't argue if someone has one of the first 4 as their best tbh.

I guess that's true.

When I first got into death metal everybody was obsessed with them over here, not sure when (or if) that changed, but I do see them praised a lot less nowadays.

I will say I'm not too keen on the latest one. Probably the worst one I've heard from the band but it isn't bad. I just thought it was underwhelming relative to the hype.

Top 5 Dream Theater to prep for the poll:

1) Train of Thought
2) Images and Words
3) Falling Into Infinity
4) Awake (!!!)
5) Systematic Chaos/WDADU/6DOIT???

5 will take a bit to iron out, but I have warmed significantly to Awake over the years. I used to rate it much lower than that.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

1. Images and Words
2. Metropolis Pt 2
3. Awake
4. Octavarium
5. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

A few I haven't listened to though. Going through their whole discog would be painful.

Edit - updating the list below as I get ready for the DT poll:

1. Images and Words
2. Metropolis Pt 2
3. Awake
4. Octavarium
   
5. Train of Thought
6. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

 

[Dak]

1. Images and Words
2. Metropolis Pt 2
3. Awake
4. Octavarium
5. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

How did you put Octavarium over ToT??

 

[zabu of nΩd]

How did you put Octavarium over ToT??

I haven't heard ToT in forever. Guess I should relisten.

I'm doing When Dream and Day Unite at the moment.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

How did you put Octavarium over ToT??

It's easy! You just do it like this:

1. Octavarium
2. When Dream and Day Unite
3. Images and Words
4. Systematic Chaos
5. Awake

The trick is to put Train of Thought somewhere near the bottom, that way there's no chance you'll accidentally rank it above Octavarium.

[HamburgerBoy]

Everything after Awake is so inferior to the first three albums it's not really worth fine-tuning.
