Douchebag
12.28.08 | I don't mind death magnetic.
i would DEFINITLEY add scars on broadway! i can't believe i wasted my money on that rubbish. |
AliW1993
12.28.08 | props for 5 and 9. 1 and 8 are good though imo. |
BallsToTheWall
12.28.08 | I can't stand new Underoath, i'm not going to lie, I liked that emo, whatever you call it vibe on YOCS and TCOT but they really don't do it for me now. 2-6 rule, to em anyways, especially 6, i'm a sad panda. Haven't heard the rest but meh. |
fireaboveicebelow
12.28.08 | list should be longer, but good job |
foreverendeared
12.28.08 | i completely agree with 8 and 10
BUT, i completely disagree with 1, 5, 6. therefore, i will now go mass neg all of your reviews :] |
SlaveLabor
12.28.08 | I wouldn't even consider 8 thrash..maybe that was just your life that's about it |
Chewie
12.28.08 | 10 is not metal, but I definitely agree that it's rushed and unnecessary |
Wizard
12.28.08 | I've always thrown NIN with industrial/ metal/ hard rock. But anyways, I was just expecting more.
Thanks for nice comments hahaha. Nothing too irrational said yet. |

12.28.08 | Interesting stuff, don't agree with most of it but there we go.
For The Slip... Well, the idea is that it's just a little gift to fans, and I think it was kinda pointless to release it on CD, as that validates it's position as a proper album rather than a collection of ideas that were stretched out into songs. I must admit, I do like it, as with all NIN releases, but anyone who isn't a crazy fanboy like me probably wouldn't. So yeah, although I don't AGREE with it being on here, it probably does deserve it. I agree with BTBAM, that was a stupid release, and Death Magnetic was boring. I'd add Overcome as well. |
Yazz_Flute
12.28.08 | how could you not like Alvestam's clean vocals? They're among the best in the genre. |
Willie
12.28.08 | I was so ready to agree with this list... And then I saw Testament on there :( |
Wizard
12.28.08 | Good point Spamue1G. I'm a huge fan of older NIN.
bodom, his vocals are terrible.
Willie, I liked Formation of Damnation at first and then it just bored me to tears. Sorry to disappoint :(. Can we still be friends? |
BallsToTheWall
12.28.08 | THIS IS MADNESS.......NO....THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!! |
MattRTS
12.28.08 | Don't agree with your choices, but to each his own. I love 1,8,9, haven't really listened to the others. |
Mendigo
12.28.08 | Cult of Luna was great, dude.
but I agree with 5 and 10. 8 wasn't special or anything, but my expectations were so extremely low that it might actually be the most postitively suprising album of the year, even though it's not much more than solid. |
AmericnZero02
12.28.08 | The use of the word "fags" in #1 made this list an automatic fail. |
SynGates
12.28.08 | yep, only thing I like here is Fortress, and it's waning. |
Epilogue
12.29.08 | One of the problems I had with nine was how little you see and hear of the crowd. I dunno, I just lke to see the audience on live tapes... |
roofi
12.29.08 | Your argument for not liking 1 is pretty retarded, not gonna lie. |
Crysis
12.29.08 | Christian definitely has some of the best clean vocals I've heard... no clue what you're talking about. I also disagree with 4 but I see where you're coming from with that. Props for 5 and 9. My friends came over and made me watch 9 and I laughed at how god damn boring those idiots are onstage. If I recall they didn't even say the name of the city where they were playing, nor did they acknowledge the crowd or get them pumped up. All it was was "Ok... next song was chosen by you all.... this is *insert song name*" then they play the song, not really moving around on stage "This next one is for everyone here, it's time for *next song name*"..... |
Chewie
12.29.08 | Wizard: I know that industrial music is associated in metal, when it really shouldn't, but just hearing The Slip, it's 6/10 electronica/rock songs, 3/10 weird instrumentals(999,999, Corona Radiata, The Four Of Us Are Dying) and the other 1/10 is a ballad(Lights In The Sky)
none of that looks too metally to me. |
Captain North
12.29.08 | Props for 9. I hate them so much. And 5 WAS a bad album. But I hate you for 1 2and 4 . xD |
Anthracks
12.29.08 | Needs Deeds of Flesh |

12.29.08 | opeth-watershed wink! |
wartooth
12.29.08 | Didn't you say that that DM was actually a "fun listen"? |
OllieS
12.29.08 | agreed on 5 |
Wizard
12.29.08 | Wow, so that went over well hahahaha.
AmericnZero02,
It was a joke to rile you little queer boys up. I can see that it worked ;). Jk dude Opinions are opinions
roofi,
So my points aren't legit (besides the fag joke) because you don't agree? Make sense much?
Crysis,
Sorry I don't agree with Scar Symmetry and Heaven Shall Burn. I still appreciate most of your music choices :).
derek,
Where do you think the aggression and 'LOUDNESS' in industrial music is derived from? That's where it ties back to metal.
someguest,
I'm going to keep my eye on you!!!
willfellmarsy,
You will die a slow and painful death. jk bro
wartooth,
I did say that Death Magnetic was a fun listen at first and then it became boring, rehash thrash metal once the shock wore off hahaha. Minds can change you know.

12.30.08 | I don't care if you don't like 1 and I agree to a point about it being stagnant. Aside from that, the things that you say are wrong with it pretty much describe DtGL too. And since you say you like that album, that in my opinion makes you a dumbass, sorry. |
JAV
12.30.08 | I think you were expecting too much from Eternal Kingdom. Protest the Hero's vocals were always a bit of a turn off for me but I still liked the music enough. |
Wizard
12.31.08 | roofi,
I should have said DtGL caught my ear because it sounded a little different. My biggest complaint was they really don't go anywhere with their new album and I'm not really a fan of self-repetition. Plus, all the things I hated about DtGL were actually done more poorly on this album (ie. clean vocals). DtGL had lots of potential to expand on it and they didn't. But aside from that, your opinion seems a little more informed then mine. Not the first time I've been called a dumbass hahaha. Cheers.
JAV,
I was expecting something huge from CoL and they didn't deliver. Listen to their back catalogue for a good idea on what they should sound like. EK kind of sounded stripped down tbh. And don't get me wrong with PTH, I like wankery once in a while.

lucazade22
01.09.09 | Definitely agree with you on 4. Disappointing. 7 and 8 are indeed boring and rehash thrash metal but I wouldn't really say they're disappointing as I wasn't expecting much.
BUT 6 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's an incredible album. My favourite of the year! Oh well...that's my opinion anyway.
As for the rest I haven't heard them so can't comment. |
Wizard
01.10.09 | Sorry dude, I just think they've stepped down a notch. |
Groink
01.24.09 | 1, 5, and 6 are good albums. |
FattyKnee
02.05.09 | damn, that was bold |
snewso
05.24.12 | wow, someone that agrees with me about protest the hero. |
Bloodhail
05.24.12 | wow dude why the fuck did you necro this |
KSK1
05.24.12 | Dude 1 and 5 are excellent. And don't let Fluttertrank see 6 on this list. |
camaraderie
05.24.12 | Wow, what a douche. |
ShadowRemains
05.24.12 | "wow dude why the fuck did you necro this"
concur |
camaraderie
05.24.12 | because someone agrees with him about protest da hero - it never happy hap before |
camaraderie
05.24.12 | y? |
FearThyEvil
05.24.12 | 6 and 7 rule so hard, sad to see them hear. The rest I can agree with and even 9 too. I love BTBAM live but they certainly changed since that performance. They all move around now (except paul) and are just fantastic live. 5 also ruled. |
The7thVermicide
05.24.12 | Actually I enjoyed most of the albums listed right here |
