Lysol!!!

I didn't care for Death at the time but I grew to really like them. So much better than the brutal DM you get now IMO

Yeah when it comes to DM, Death is one of my favorites. Corrupted as well.

I love Death's final albums - Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic and to a lesser degree The Sound of Perseverance. Don't care about anything before that. I wrote about them back in 2011.

That Ambergris EP is a mystery to me. I couldn't find much about it searching online.

So is this death metal or black metal?

Also, while Melvins' 5000 other albums are on spotify, but not Lysol. go figure.

ambergris the 70's band? that album isn't that hot. great cover obviously.

Corrupted arent death metal tho. funeral doom maybe. but they cover so many styles you cant really pigeonhole them. I hope there's more Corrupted and Death to come.

Phil - those albums are awesome

lol. See, I don't think I even found the right album cover for this! Unless someone nominated some obscure soul/r&b and then colluded with two others to vote for it.

first six death albums should be on here. and all their demo tapes.

thanks for that Phil -- I need to spend more time with Death in general. I want to like them, and I do listen to Scream Bloody Gore, but I guess I prefer stuff like either earlier Possessed or later Autopsy.

Here's a possible Ambergris.

Wish I'd voted on this! I've recently dug out some old death metal vinyl and Human still sounds unbelievable. Fwiw if push came to shove I'd probably have voted for Clandestine. Currently I'd quite happily settle for Garten der Unbewusstheit.

I love Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance and haven't listened to the others enough. "Crystal Mountain" is the most amazing song.

Here's a possible Ambergris.

jmm that's probably it. thanks!

maybe the actual voters can enlighten us?

141. Eyehategod - Dopesick (194, 4 votes)

yes!

theres about 500 albums that we would all be happy if they could appear in the top 100, right?
Im worrying tho that since so much great stuff is appearing so low down that the top 10 will be an anti climax of metallica,slayer,megadeth,pantera,anthrax, sepultura and bill magill moaning there's no black sabbath

I have no idea how this poll will go. Agreed, some really great stuff has already appeared, and I didn't do much campaigning for my faves, so not even sure they will place at all, much less near the top.

the top 10 i imagine is predictable mostly but looks like absolutely anything could place if it only needs 3-5 votes

I don't want to give anything away but I don't think Pantera is featured heavily. :)

140. Cynic - Focus (194, 5 votes)

oh they werent nominated???
xp

got a funny feeling nobody did nominate Pantera. that thread was so long ago tho

next up is a THREE WAY TIE

I know everyone loves Take As Needed For Pain, but to me Dopesick is definitely Eyehategod's best album. I saw them about a year after it came out, and the show I was at is on YouTube:

Dopesick is my fave too

It's been a while since I last gave Cynic a shot. The vocoder is sounding better to me than it ever has before.

Terrifyer, the only Pig Destroyer album ever reviewed by The Wire.
