Top 10 Lists for 2004 - now published!

[JayKeeley]

Each reviewers top 10 list, PLUS an 'accumulated' list based on how many times an album appeared plus its ranking:

1 = 10 points
2 = 9 points

etc.

Just hovering outside of the accumulated top 10 list were: Nasheim (7 points), Neurosis (7 points), Morgion (6 points), Deathspell Omega (6 points), and Graveland (3 points).

Ok what are you waiting for? Go look see.

 

[Black Winter Day]

I saw this 5 min before you posted. Damn, that BWD has a sexy list.

 

[Demonspell]

Excellent job on your lists guys. I'd have to say the one closest aligned with my eventual year end list would be Jay, even with the inclusion of Megadeth (extremely welcome return for sure, but not top 10 material IMO) and another dig at Anathema... BWD would be second...loved the "unheard until 2004" section.

9. GRAVELAND – Dawn of Iron Blades
Quite simply, it's the best GRAVELAND offering yet. Yes, better than Immortal Pride. Epic, less repetitive, anthemic, galloping horses, war cries, multiple riffs, viking swords, Polish sausage, three chicks in a hot tub, chainmail pajamas, and inevitably 'small penis syndrome'. Put it all together and it churns away to destroy Judeo-Christianity for call out of a new facsist state. Yeah, that's just what Poland needs to bring them out of the dark ages. New angry album is already in the pipeline - working title is, "Once you go black, you never go back - or at least that's what the wife said".

I frown upon all of you for not mentioning Quo Vadis or Therion.

I couldn't comment on Therion since Nuclear Blast felt compelled to only send me a sampler promo...

 

[Tranquillian]

Once again, Eriks list is the closest to mine. Nice read

 

[Captain Beard]

Oh, ok then.

 

[Papa Josh]

Jay decided to delete my comments on some of the categories, but included an EP that i've never even heard of. I didn't vote for that EP!!!!

And oh, Zodster, Tesla was a 2003 release.

 

[NAD]

Hey where'd my best EP go!?

Yay for Drudkh being #1 overall.

 

[J.]

yay for those who placed Isis. Boo for those of you who didn't.

Nice to see The Chasm in there.

and of course, yay for Graveland.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Nice job guys, I'm going to use that as a shopping list when I start earning paychecks again.

Perhaps its's the one I was credited with....

 

[NAD]

Nope, I checked already. Mine was Queens of the Stone Age - Stone Age Complications. I'll email JayK.

Isis deserves a top 10 mention definitely, but when I turned in my list it was still hovering about the bottom end of a top 20.

 

[MFJ]

Very awesome lists, I agree with Erik/NAD/JayKeeley but my list would include Borknagar, Vintersorg and Enslaved

 

[MajestikMøøse]

that's because you're a fanboy

Oh yeah, that's all fixed now. It's 'cos you never highlighted it as an EP and I forgot I already asked. Whatever - no big deal.

[bitch because it's about fucking time]

What's more amazing I think is that we still have people who can't remember the categories; remember the guidelines; send in album covers; send in album covers in the right sizes; send me anything without having to chase them down. This accounts for approximately half the team.

I just don't get how with 6 weeks notice (and three subsequent reminders) that anyone on the team had less time than me to get this done right and in one go! *shakes head*

With that said, the rest of us got everything submitted on time and in perfect order. Thanks.

[/bitch because it's about fucking time]

Honestly, listing an EP on the wrong list is the LEAST of my worries.

Now enjoy the lists and for the readers, as with last year, feel free to start your own SINGLE thread and publish your own lists.

1) Floridian Jewish Sea"food" with a radical Xtian from Korea
2) Melodeath and Metalcore (see latest signings from Metal Blade and NB)
3) Make that 'Royal Carnage' period, but yeah, top 10 is fucking peak season

Alright, jerky, first of all, I didn't even have half of these retarded categories last year, so it's understandable why I didn't "remember" them. And I did offer up answers for them, you just chose not to include them.
