Your top 10 list from 2006: post it here.

[cthulufhtagn]

Klabautamann - Der Ort

this is a 2005 i'm afraid, i think it tops my 2005 list though and would probably top anything released this year in my book...

the only three 2006 albums i can think of right now that i own and listen to regularly are

1. drudkh - blood in our wells
2. agalloch - ashes against the grain
EDIT: 3. ghoul - splatterthrash
4. tool - 10,000 days (lateralus was better though)
5. phobia - cruel
EDIT: kylesa goes somewhere in here

disappointing: yyrkoon - unhealthy opera...i like occult medicine (solid 7/10) but somehow this both sounds exactly the same and bores me to fucking tears

still want to hear negura bunget, napalm death, isis and mastodon

second year running i can't fill up a top ten, i don't think i've even heard ten 2006 releases

i still need to hear mirror of deception and solitude aeturnus and shit

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I'll probably put the time in to come up with a good list later. For now I can say for sure that Tenhi and Drudkh are contenders for album of the year.

 

[JayKeeley]

top gun contenders:

ludicra
red sparrowes
solitude aeternus
negura bunget
amon amarth
pyramaze
gwynbleidd
hammers of misfortune
drudkh
cattle decaptitation
agalloch
melechesh
EDIT: gojira - motherfuck

i had the wolves demo in my 2005 list, so they're exempt, otherwise they would have made the list

excellent list: tool, summoning, amorphis, daylight dies, celtic frost, summoning, sabaton, kiuas, unleashed, krisiun, the new empyrium tracks

good but could live without: dissection, iron maiden, katatonia, blind guardian, satyricon, the re-released empyrium tracks

can't understand what all the fuss was about, so i hold no opinion: secrets of the moon, moonspell, gates of slumber, vader, ancient rites (just give me diabolical serenades and be done with it)

disappointed: isis, virgin steele, enslaved, drudkh's acoustic duelling banjos

yet to hear: tenhi

best album heard this year (not of 2006): disillusion - back to times of splendor

 

[Dev]

Agalloch

would you happen to be able to offer a track?

of course my good man, but it would have to wait until tonight when I get home -- watch this space

amazingly enough, their website only references their latest album, "Gloria", as does their myspace page - what lunacy

For me, Disillusion and Klabautamann's "Der Ort" would be neck and neck.

thank you! duly noted.

i've heard near-universal shit reviews of "Gloria," this is what's inspired me to check out "...Times of Splendor" because thats what everyone seems the standard was set way too high with that album.

That is fucking retarded...I never fully got into Times of Splendor, but it's the album of the decade compared to those songs from the new one, what possessed them to go in that awful direction and practically disown their debut is beyond me...

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I think I'm going to add Karjalan Sissit - Tanssit On Loppu Nyt to my list.

It's unreal. From debut greatness to sophomore failure. It's rare but it happens.

 

[Sadguru]

I think I'm going to add Karjalan Sissit - Tanssit On Loppu Nyt to my list.

I'm curous about it. How's it?
