Good to see Lee getting love. He'll be in my top 50 too, whenever I publish it.
― Raymond Cummings, Saturday, 29 December 2012 15:01 (eleven years ago) link
Ironic to see Christian Mistress and the quintessentially metal Dawnbringer not make the list, but instead Katatonia, Jess & the Ancient Ones, Unsane, Rush, Hexvessel, Anathema, Alcest, Killing Joke, Torche, Swans, Baroness. All good albums, none remotely metal.
― Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 29 December 2012 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
not really sure how that's ironic
Terrorizer has never been at all gatekeeper-y wrt things having to 'sound metal' to qualify for inclusion
― Sounds like something Maria Carey would of rejected (DJ Mencap), Saturday, 29 December 2012 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
i think Torche and Baroness are at least "remotely metal"

Is that narrow scope "Stereogum"

Terrorizer's slogan is "The World's Number 1 Extreme Metal Magazine." So when they drop the ball on awesome bands like Dawnbringer, one might assume they do so because they're not extreme metal. That's fine, but then nearly a quarter of their list isn't even metal. OMG I'm SO hilar! So okay, maybe they're looking to shift to Decibel territory to extreme music, which works with bands like Swans. I suppose you could say Alcest are extremely beautiful, as are Wild Nothing and Beach House.
― Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 29 December 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
Or, like many people, they could think Dawnbringer are a bit shit.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 29 December 2012 22:00 (eleven years ago) link
the Alcest record has blastbeats on it, come on now

it's so false it was probably endorsed by Eddie Trunk of 'That Remotely Metal Show'

it's totally one of the best radio rap productions of the year, and the rapping doesn't get in the way of it (possibly even helps, considering every time i've heard someone else rap on the beat it hasn't sounded as good) xpost

― gimme some reggae! (get bent), Sunday, 30 December 2012 04:23 (eleven years ago) link
That Moon Duo record was one of my last cuts, but I dropped it once I realized “Sleepwalkers” sounds like Zooropa-era U2 taking lots of acid and trying to play Adam Ant’s “Vive Le Rock” from memory without having heard it since 1985.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 30 December 2012 04:31 (eleven years ago) link
you say that like it's a bad thing.
― gimme some reggae! (get bent), Sunday, 30 December 2012 04:33 (eleven years ago) link
Not at all! But I docked them slightly because when I saw Adam Ant this fall his current version of "Vive Le Rock" sort of sounded the same way.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 30 December 2012 04:35 (eleven years ago) link
In other words, those last few cuts were some arbitrary bullshit.
