Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016

[HamburgerBoy]

What is your favorite Genesis song/album? I put on Foxtrot after making that post and it still fails to excite for the most part, and I'm listening to what I have noted as my favorite track (Get 'Em out by Friday) right now. They're just so dull. Prog rock with boring sense of rhythm is worthless. They might be better than Camel for their highlights, but they don't have anything as purdy as The Snow Goose either. Pretty much the Anthrax of prog rock.

this isn't related to the above convo but i'm curious about whether you'd like this stuff hbb:

I downloaded that album ages ago knowing it was one of your faves but haven't listened to it yet iirc.

Wait, LastFM says I've listened to it twice. I suck.

My absolute favourite Genesis album is definitely Trespass.

I feel like Magma had some indirect influence on black metal

Examples? Most Magma I've heard is really jazz-funky which is basically the opposite of black metal.

Sonically, you could make the argument that their more frenetic moments have an almost feverishly occult sound.

I was think more in the terms of post-second wave visual aesthetics. All their album cover's seem to convey a similar vibe. Sorry I don't have anything more concrete for ya. I'll run through their catalog this weekend and try to make some stronger parallels.

I hear much more of Magma's weird tentacles in the sounds of death metal, especially blatantly in a band like Obliteration, who closed out their Black Death Horizon album with an outro called "Churning Magma" which was a blatant wink to Magma.

Garbage like ... Pink Floyd

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Garbage like Genesis and Pink Floyd

 

[The Ozzman]

and the best Yes and King Crimson albums would like a word with you.

You're right. The Adrian Belew era albums are all under 41 minutes.

Gonna have to peep them

Animals is a decent enough album. It's also half the length of The Wall (which is irredeemable).

Not sure if this is sarcasm since 90s KC and beyond are longer, but Discipline is definitely one of their best.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Wall is the greatest album ever released by anyone

And I'm not being sarcastic as I think the Belew era is the best

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I honestly believe Syd Barrett was the best floyd member

 

[CiG]

Really? I always thought of him more as a cult figure, somewhat overrated as a result.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What is UM's opinion on Bike? Normies love that song but it's one of the worst things ever to me.

 

[The Butt]

The Wall is the greatest album ever released by anyone

that awkward moment when the wall isnt even the best floyd album

 

[Krow]

The Wall is my wife's favorite PF album. She also likes Korn though. Wish You Were Here and Animals are their best imo.

 

[Baroque]

I don't know how these end up so off-topic but Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall
