Top 10 of the new millenium

[Krilons Resa]

I haven't put together a "Top 10" list yet but can think of a few right off the top of my head. I'll be back to list mine after looking over the genres. Maybe this will entice some of us to seek out and listen to some albums that we would not normally find due to genre constraints, etc.

Maybe we can even start other threads about different decades, then compile a list and Jerry can start his own "Battle Of The Albums" competition.

this would take a lot of time. Australasia is in there for sure, and if Lords of Hypocrisy counts, then that too. Fire Chariot of Destruction...maybe Jesu's self-titled...Watching From a Distance...eh, ill need to look into this.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Warning - Watching From a Distance
The Chasm - Conjuration of the Spectral Ion
Agalloch - The Mantle
Beardfish - Sleeping in Traffic: Part 2 (probably anyways, needs more time)

The Chasm - Conjuration of the Spectral Ion

Empire

 

[Nate The Great]

Converge 'Jane Doe' and Agalloch 'The Mantle' are the two right off the top of my head. There's about 25 others that I'd have to think real hard on.

 

[EricT]

The following albums are guaranteed to show up multiple times if everyone on the board were to do it:

Agalloch - The Mantle
Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
Hammers of Misfortune - The Bastard
Negura Bunget - N' Crugu Bradului
Pagan Altar - The Lords of Hypocrisy
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
Warning - Watching From A Distance

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

here's a quick list

Primordial - Spirit The Earth Aflame
Agalloch - The Mantle
The Chasm - Conjuration Of The Spectral Empire
Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Aarni - Bathos
Mournful Congegation - The Monad Of Creation
Negura Bunget - Om
Hail - Inheritance Of Evilness
Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters
Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells

man it's another "think before posting" thread, i'm not good at these, just going to use my incomplete "rate your music" list and pick from there

celtic frost "monotheist"
dolorian "dolorian"
deströyer 666 "terror abraxas"
agalloch "ashes against the grain"
sólstafir "masterpiece of bitterness"
deadboy & the elephantmen "if this is hell then i'm lucky"
antimatter "planetary confinement"
negura bunget "maiastru sfetnic"
katatonia "viva emptiness"
skepticism "farmakon"

no order. i also notice when perusing said list that compared to the years 2003-2005 i barely bought anything new that was released in 2006-2008, i gotta get up to speed with some things later. some honourable mentions: helheim, urfaust, nokturnal mortum, luror, agents of oblivion, jesu, the angelic process, etc. (actually some of those should be on the list but i can't decide or rearrange it now so let's call it a day)

itt i am the only person to prefer "ashes against the grain" to "the mantle"

 

[Ars Magna]

I prefer Pale Folklore to both but I have bad taste in music.

pale folklore is the single best album ever recorded but it was a 1999 release and as such is not qualified

Ah yes...I wasn't thinking in the context of the thread. In that case I'd go with Ashes Against The Grain, as well.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I have a list of about 40 albums I need to break down to 10. Ugh.

 

[MFJ]

Ken, why didn't you tell me you were into some jam band stuff? we could have been sharing the wealth this WHOLE TIME

 

[Demilich]

agalloch - the mantle

colour haze - s/t

If I put more thought into it (particularly to non-metal) things would likely change, but this is a pretty definite list for me.
