And I am a newb, so thats all for now. check up in half a year, I'll probably have a few more.

Add 10,000 days by tool. Jar of FLies by Alice in Chains. The fragile by NIN. A blaze in the northern sky by darkthrone. Symbolic by death. Interstellar spaces? by john coltrane.

Emperor - Nightside, Anthems, IX Equilibrium

Thank You sir. Being an old bastard, I've seen much come and go - plenty good, plenty bad...but not that much that is truly 100% great! This is a tougher exercise than I would have figured, honestly. I'm admittedly pretty picky about what I like/dislike, even within each metal sub-genre - don't know why, but it has always been so. Still, having followed(and for many years "lived") metal for some twenty-five solid years, I can scarcely think of a time when something really excellent wasn't being created somewhere...if you looked hard enough - and often that meant going underground...the same is true today, by and large.
 
If I really started meditating on this, I'd end up doing it all night and posting a list of hundreds, but as I do not wish to do this, I'll just name a few absolutely unbelievable albums. My list of albums - that, when listened to completely, aren't that far away from making a person decease of dehydration due to excessive flowing of tears resulting from the simple fact, that the person will probably never get anywhere near making an album that brilliant - is as follows:

Avantasia - The Metal Opera I & II
Ayreon - The Human Equation & The Final Experiment
Cradle of Filth - Midian (except for Satanic Mantra, which almost killed me with the amount of lame that resided in it)
Finntroll - Midnattens Widunder & Jaktens Tid

Absolutely no flaws in any of those, excluding the utter fuck-up that goes by the name of Satanic Mantra.
 
hm... might do it in order... mwahahah

1) Buried Dreams - Perceptions 10/10
2) Buried Dreams - Necrosphere 10/10
3) At The Gates - Terminal Spirit Disease
4) Buried Dreams - Beyond Your Mind 10/10
5) Dark Lunacy - Devoid 10/10
6) Lothlorien - The Primal Event 10/10

hm shit...

as for 9/10s, in no apecific order

Vehemence - God Was Created 9.5/10
Abigail Williams - Gallow Hill 9/10 -demo, few songs, but damn good...-
Eucharist - Mirrorworlds -meh, I didnt like Demons that much, but pretty good album-


I shall post the rest later >_<

Dark Tranquillity - The Mind's I
Apocalyptica - Reflections
Burst - Origo
Eluveitie - Spirit
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
UnexpecT - In A Flesh Aquarium
Windir - 1184
