Top 5 Hard Rock/Metal Albums of 2005

[Hal9000]

1. RAMONE by Steve from Yellowstone

 

[Soul of Ice]

BTW. Kamelot's Black Halo... musically I love it. Lyrically its horrible. For example, "Why, my god, have you abandoned me, in my sobriety?!!"

You know, I have noticed that too. Roy Kahn used to be so good at writing lyrics. For example, look at any off of "In Your Multitude"

 

[Kenneth R.]

at all you types of people who think the only good material any band has ever done is their earliest, most obscure, tr00 albums.

 

[TheWhisper]

oops.

BTW. Kamelot's Black Halo... musically I love it. Lyrically its horrible. For example, "Why, my god, have you abandoned me, in my sobriety?!!"

You would have a point if you're thinking of 'sobriety' in the sense of being free of drink...intoxicants. Sober/Sobriety has much, much deeper meanings than just that. It is, as Kenneth pointed out, a very profound line.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

In particular order

Opeth - Ghose Reveries
Circus Maximus - 1st Chapter
Helloween - Keepers Part 3
Biomechanical - Empires Of The World
Brainstorm = Liquid Monster

But most the time it is true!!!

 

[Kenneth R.]

I guess that's why you haven't contributed anything to this thread since nothing tr00 and obscure has come out as recently as this millennium.

ps: i disagree with your pov.

 

[kamelotica]

1) Opeth - Ghost Reveries

2) Kamelot- The Black Halo

3) Dream Theatre - Octavarium

4) Dark Tranquility - Character

5) Scar Symmetry, Symmetric In Design


In regards to Khan's/Kamelot's lyrics, I find the Black Halo to be very deep. The line with sobriety in it is not a literary meaning, as I read it. How many songs is Khan a part of in his career? 50+ for Kamelot alone...the lyrics on TBH and Epica I find much better than The Fourth Legacy for example.

2) Kreator - Enemy of God
3) God Dethroned - Lair of the White Worm
4) Samael - Reign of Light
5) Mercenary - 11 Dreams

Uh-oh..... Is 11 Dreams a 2005 or 2004 release? I'd swear it's been around for a lot longer than a year.....

If it's 2005, then I might have to file an amended return.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I think 11 Dreams came out in Summer 2004.

It was released in 2004. It might not have been *officially* released in the US until 2005, but just about anyone who wanted it in 2004 could get the easily-available European release.

 

[Pellaz]

Whew, I'm saved!!
