"What's this? It sounds great". It was Deftones again.
I am also unmoved by CdG. I want them to sound more like the atmosphere their album art generates and they never do.

Totally different beast, Cthulu-referencing, scrappy, fun as fuck... melodic tech-thrash? Maybe? I'm bad w/ subgenres

I'll bet Xoth makes it. It only took three or four votes to get in the top 100. If three other ppl said they really liked the album then it's prob in, and if it hasnt shown up yet, that means it got more votes than expected...

Enjoying the Anicon. Picked up the Xoth CD/download on bandcamp just now - really enjoying that even if it hasn't placed.

I wanted to like the Ulcerate more. It's impressive, but I guess too oppressive. OTOH, Nails, The Body, Zao, Wormrot and Trap Them have been handy for channeling rage since November, so perhaps I'll warm up to other extreme stuff too. Bossk, Slabdragger, Boss Keloid, Discharge, Revocation and Ihsahn are other new ones I've been listening to this week.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 03:23 (seven years ago) link
If it weren't for the vocals, I just might have included that Xoth album too. Riffs!
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 03:32 (seven years ago) link
I didn't really like the Ihsahn album, I think some of the electronic elements seemed either heavy-handed or just plain goofy.
― Tom Violence, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 03:34 (seven years ago) link
Glad to see Wrong, Occult Burial and Cadaveric Fumes placing. So far I've wishlisted Skaphe (reminds me of the churning murkiness of Aevangelist), Wormrot, Howls of Ebb (don't know why I didn't get around to this when I loved "Vigils of the 3rd Eye"), Eight Bells, Chthe'ilist, and Inquisition.

Those Mesarthim keyboard melodies are super cheesy. Filter out the screeching, blend the guitars in with the other synths, and you have bad elevator new age music. Clown college wallpaper. Fighting off some stupid cold virus everyone is getting and didn't want to wake up, so I'm unfiltered ;)

xpto me, it sounds like the music when Transformers die. ymmv depending on how much that sounds like shade I guess
― Dominique, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 14:06 (seven years ago) link
I thought it would be higher but the biggest boosters on the rolling promo thread and the metallica thread didnt bother voting.
Maybe it wasn't that good after all?
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 14:06 (seven years ago) link
Obviously the Mesarthim melodies are cheesy. It is kind of the point.

What did you think of the whole Metallica album imago?
Filter out the screeching, blend the guitars in with the other guitars, and you have bad elevator new age music. Frat house wallpaper.

That sure is ugly, but not as bad as Aphex Twin I guess. 29th is plenty good. There's only two songs on it that I'd take off. Fun fact, it's 1:15 shorter than Load. I like it better than the black album FWIW. In fact, there's fewer boring parts than Justice For All, though I wouldn't go so far as rate it over that. They would have had to have gotten more progtastic again.

Xp cheesy melodies in triumphant power metal makes sense. In black metal, does not compute. Black metal is not exactly compatible with irony or self-effacing humor. Sorry, I see clowns, not frat boys when I listen.
