There's something off-putting about Ulver and I can't really identify it but it makes me not want to listen to them. I think they think what they're doing is way more interesting than it actually is.
I sound like Peter Griffin: IT INSISTS ON ITSELF.

I'm with J3ff on Sunnzzzzzzz. Was the other Sunn record nominated? Are we gonna get that one in the top 10?

I, Voidhanger released the Midnight Odyssey album a few years back (Funerals from the Astral Sphere), and I still maintain it's one of the best albums of the decade so far. https://i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/funerals-from-the-astral-sphere "> https://i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/funerals-from-the-astral-sphere

i can see why someone would think this but uh blood inside is one of the best records ever made, so many things going on at once on that record
their collab with sunn is a little snoozy but i'm generally underwhelmed by collab albums of that nature

funny that a decibel scribe doesnt like sunn o))) is it a clause albert insists on?
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:09 (nine years ago) link
I think it's a clause reality insists on.

yeah I recently discovered I, Voidhanger on my own... has some pretty great artists there.

bah, i hoped panopticon would make the top 10 - to me there is a real honesty to everything panopticon does, even the lord of the rings sounding stuff on this album

I think if there had been one more track to make it longer then maybe more may have liked it
More people should have bought the Japanese 2CD version, then. Bonus track with Attila Csihar! (Plus a demo version of one of the Disc 1 tracks that was basically identical to the final version.)

awesome that Jute Gyte made it! however I do find it utterly weird how Vast Chains came 19th in this poll, whereas Ressentiment (which I think is slightly better) is outside the top hundred. guess ppl had to pick one? or there's no accounting for taste. idk. well done ilm anyway. both albums truly next-level

o shit j3ff, this midnight odyssey album
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:39 (nine years ago) link
I'm surprised Slough Feg made it, let alone this high. For trad metal I thought Accept, or maybe even something Falconer, was better. Or Grand Magus. But I guess they may be coming.
― Devilock, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:40 (nine years ago) link
something ^like Falconer
My top 3 were Vast Chains, Botanist, Panopticon. I'm liking this stretch!
xposts Do we know that Ressentiment didn't make it? I couldn't connect with it as much.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:42 (nine years ago) link
Ressentiment is still coming right? That was my #2; I'd be shocked
― wonderful about a proletariat-Vorticist version of James Brown (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:43 (nine years ago) link
Of course CS did say virtually no one else liked that album better. Itd be weird if it showed uo higher
― wonderful about a proletariat-Vorticist version of James Brown (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:44 (nine years ago) link
completely forgot about the jute gyte when i made my list, both would have placed high. xp - i couldn't decide between botanist and panopticon as my number 1, went botanist in the end as i thought it needed more help in the poll
― auto focus, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 21:47 (nine years ago) link
slough feg album is definitely uneven, but the best tracks ("laser enforcer" for obvs) are among the best of the year by anyone period, and the whole thing has a winning (and, yeah, slough feg typical) combination of true oddity, catchy songcraft, musicianship, smarts and human personality.

me for one. love the band/album. would have likely made my top 10, if i'd managed to put a ballot together. mostly, though, i'm pissed that the vinyl was so stupid limited.
