Top 10 - 2007 Albums

[ShadowsWithin]

no way the new db is better than the new arch enemy. the new arch enemy is the best one since wages of sin since they actually got back to being darker and heavier instead of the gayness that was anthems and doomsday. needless to say its still not amazing, but definately better than the new dimmu which was just awful, especially the serpentine offering or whatever. the lyrics made me lol wondering how cheesy and stupidly wannabe evil they can try to be.

yes because we all know it's about the lyrics...

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

edit: gahhhhh , forgot the new Black Cobra, and probably some others that are more deserving of a "top 10". That's why I don't bother with these lists I LISTEN TO MUSIC I DON'T QUANTIZE IT

 

[derek]

I barely listened to any new music this year. I liked Phantom Limb, that was all I can remember.

 

[Reminiscence]

Akercocke - Antichrist
In Vain - The Latter Rain
Scarsick I guess, a big step down in any case.

Nest - Trail of the Unwary
Symphony X - Paradise Lost
Swallow the Sun - Hope
Baroness - Red Album

Honorable Mentions

Sigh - Hangman's Hymn

Need to acquire the new Moonsorrow and Primordial.

2. Mekong Delta - Lurking Fear

I still need to check this out.
I was pretty impressed with the song I heard on Myspace though, so I have a feeling this won't be another case of a once-great band that should have stayed broken up

 

[Superior]

I'm really surprised that only two people listed neurosis. they must be alot more obsure than I thought.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

holy shit, what about the new candlemass?

I'm gonna get flamed to hell for this but to me they have always been and will always be a poor mans Solitude Aeturnus. Only Robert Lowe made that album great imo.

i havent picked anything of theirs up past sun that never sets. how are eye of every storm and the new one?

 

[Superior]

fucking amazing, I think Given to the Rising is their best and heaviest

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

hmm... i'm intrigued.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I'm really surprised that only two people listed neurosis. they must be alot more obsure than I thought.

Hardly obscure. Haven't picked it up yet. I normally don't listen much to new releases until long after they've been out, and Neurosis takes some time to properly take in. If it be as good as A Sun... or Times of Grace, it will likely end up on a revised list (sometime in April, given how slow I am to check out new music).

 

[El Stormo]

I think top 10s are a bit lame, so I'll just list the few CDs I found very good to hear this year:

- Ziltoid - The Omniscient
- Circus Maximus - Isolate
- Agent Steel - Alienigma (though definitely not as good as Order of the Illuminati)
- Morgana Lefay - Aberrations of the Mind
- Shatter Messiah - God Burns Like Flesh
- Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon (a big step back in the right direction after the Glorious Hurlen)
- Vicious Rumors - Warball (or was that late 2006?)
- Rage - Speak of the Dead
- Pan of Salvation - Scarsick

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Warball was 06.

 

[IntoPhagist]

I liked fiction when it was called projector, haven and damage done....Dt suck balls now
