Oh man. The Mantle is great. I don't think that I ended up voting for it but really glad that it placed as well as it did.

the mantle is pretty decent, but the clean elements ruin it for me. it makes it too serious and nice, and not in the way i like. acoustic instruments do not belong in black metal i think.

That was my favourite album ever once upon a time.

I need to listen to this more (despite playing it to death in 1994)

Last time I tried to listen to it all the way through I couldn't really muster the stamina. The opening run of seven tracks still sounded killer though.
― rhythm fixated member (chap), Monday, 9 August 2010 21:25 (fifteen years ago)
I remember everyone going apeshit over "March of the Pigs" and "Closer" but I really thought the heart of the album was "Heresy" and "I Do Not Want This"
also "Hurt" 4eva
― people are for loving (HI DERE), Monday, 9 August 2010 21:26 (fifteen years ago)
All about the triple whammy of Closer, Ruiner and Becoming.

yeah "Ruiner" is a beast

Maiden's best album.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 9 August 2010 21:40 (fifteen years ago)
Esoteric should have cut their album to the opening track and the three songs on the second disc - it'd be WAY more palatable that way and wouldn't lose its truly killer material
― visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 21:43 (fifteen years ago)
I remember liking Paradise City a bit when I was a v. young, but my gateway to metal was definitely Faith No More's Epic--8-year old me was obsessed with that video.
Of course, it didn't really stick until grunge...

Celestial (The Tower) is a mega groovy song. The rest of the album is quite good too, but I'd say the next two albums are slightly better. None of them are all-time #1 material though, surely? Hmm, may have to relisten...

With a few exceptions, this list has been mostly populated by a bunch of serious, unfun bullshit. Why does metal fans hate fun? Is fun false?
