Yeah, I forgot to mention the new Deicide as one of the year's worst. In Torment In Hell is awful, mediocre death metal. I'm pretty sure it sucked so bad because its basically a burn off album to get done with their deal with Roadrunner. Deicide has been descending in quality since Once Upon the Cross in my opinion though...

I still say Iced Earth had the best by far......even their most mellow song is fucking awesome "ghost of freedom" and it goes along with songs like "damien" that just blow ya mind.

Records that were REALLY disappointing this year:

-Megadeth - The World Needs a Hero (I tried to like it,I really did... somebody needs to kick Mustaine's born-again christian ass)
-Sepultura - Nation (what was that?? They don't seem to know which musical direction to take)
-Machinehead - Supercharger (isn't this a side-project featuring members of Korn and Linkin Park?)
-Deicide - In torment In hell (the songs are fine but please when you record a whole album in 2 days,please don't make it sound like you recorded it in 2 days)
-The usual crap I don't listen to from bands not even worth mentioning.

Disciple - No Opeth???

Well i'm disapointed in myself and in all of you.......throughout all these cds we've mentionned, some which deserved to be mentionned and others not......nobody bothered to mention Dimmu Borgir's "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia"?!?! Unless i missed it and i'm too lazy to read through everything again.

But yeah......that album fucking rules.....it's the album which got me listening to Black metal. It's definitely one of the best of the year.

Opeth - mmm I don't know...I thought they were special when I first heard the record but then I saw them live and in my eyes they miss something. To me they sound like a blend of Radiohead and My Dying Bride. I can't stand the Radiohead element.
If I liked that kind of music (doom metal) My Dying Bride would score high on my list.

__________________

For all their brilliance, I can't imagine Opeth doing a live show. It's not particularly aggressive or showy, and the quiet parts would look really weird in a line-up with other bands of the genre who just rock out.

Still - best CD of the year, no questions.

METALLICA ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, ok, that's enough out of me

I'd have to say my fav album of this year is God Hates Us All. I haven't bought much that came out this year, and that's my favorite album that I can think of, because Gateways by Morbid Angel was released in 2000, wasn't it?

__________________

Yes it was. I have a few nice cds i'd like to add to my list...but they came out just before the new year's.


But i just remembered one which came out last winter......this has to be one of my favorite cds of all time.....

Incantation - The Infernal Storm

That album just fucking rules. It ties Enter My Silence for my fav cd of the year.
