worst of '07

[General Zaroff]

Behemoth-The Apostasy

It's ok but I expected too much I guess.

 

[Zephyrus]

Dodheimsgard's Supervillain Outcast was one of my greatest anticipations for this year, until I heard a couple songs on their myspace, which were enough for me to declare this album a disappointment.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Deathspell Omega.

Come on now... it's just plain terrible.

If there's one thing I learn from threads like this, it's that most people's opinions can be disregarded.

Yea, its a little gay.

 

[KevenZ]

Blut Aus Nord - Odinist - same drum beat throughout almost every song, set to samey riffs which sound like they came from the "rejected riffs" pile from the TWWTG sessions.

Hahah... yes it's a quite good description in my opinion.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Deathspell Omega.

Come on now... it's just plain terrible.

Nah, it's just very different. I love it.

Truth.

...it lacked the type of flow that I'm accustomed to when listening to traditional black metal.

Well that could be it, "traditional" isn't a word that came to mind with this album. It was a little more on the "avant-garde" side, kind of reminded me of Eternity's Bringer Of The Fall album from last year what with all the backward-sounding riffing.

 

[skeptik]

All that music that you buy & you didn't run into any duds on accident?? This, I personally find very hard to believe as I always run into stuff I don't like even from my cherished bands, & you listen to much more music than I do.

I'm very in tune with what I like, and I can generally tell whether or not I would like something fairly easily.

 

[thorhammer]

Sonata Arctica - Unia uke:
Nile - Ithyphallic
Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes
Octavia Sperati - And Then the World Froze uke:
Dark Tranquility - Fiction

And just for shits and giggles

Hellyeah - Hellyeah uke:

 

[entanglement]

Deathspell Omega.

Loved every second of it.

And I agree with V5. It's just a different road.

 

[Silent_Scream]

Omnium Gatherum - Stuck here on Snakes Way
Naildown - Dreamcrusher
Suicide Silence - The Cleansing
Nightrage - A New Disease is Born
Dimension Zero - He Who Shall Not Bleed

 

[thisisaformicatable]

I need to add Antisystem's Worse Is Better to my list. Generic thrash with generic ballads while following the amusing pattern of white power bands covering Manowar songs.

 

[mutantllama]

Nile - Ithyphallic

I loved it.

 

[thorhammer]

Fair enough. It bores me to tears.

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

I delete the albums I don't like, so of course I don't remember what most of them are. The one that stuck out to me as the most complete complete and utter failure though was Dethklok's The Dethalbum, and I'm truly surprised that no one else has mentioned it yet.

 

[Cythraul]

I thought that new Abigor album was kind of crappy.

 

[Belligerent]

Fair enough. It bores me to tears.

Have to agree. Except for the last song (don't remember name)but it's pretty badass.

Other albums that bored me were Alcest, High on Fire, Anaal Nathrakh, just to name a few.

 

[Zephyrus]

I thought that new Abigor album was kind of crappy.

That was my first impression of it, but then I grew to like it.

Dethklok's The Dethalbum, and I'm truly surprised that no one else has mentioned it yet.

That's because it wasn't a failure (and you have shit taste)
