2 things:
NO CYNIC FAIL
and why would you want to put Sonic Syndicate on ANY best of list???

At least a cool band like Volbeat is on here though.

wow this list is retarded

Yeah it's probably the worst i've seen so far.

What shitbaskets voted for that one?

Wow. Probably the worst list of the year.

blooddrunk over obZen=lawl

blooddrunk over Lazarus Bird equals major lawl.
Hell, blooddrunk over just about anything this year is pretty laughable.

Hey kids, don't lose your cool over this list. These awards are all rigged.

These lists make me angry.

Oh William, you're going to go to heaven for this....... I'd rather die than go to heaven.

this is the funniest thing I've seen all day and I've been watching failblog.com

shit list

obZen at 14 and no Cynic?
wow.

wow every mainstream metal release of the year. I like a few, but most of this is just crap.This Message Edited On 01.09.09

A Sense Of Purpose above albums by Burst, Opeth etc. Wow, just wow...

Oh and lulz for the inclusion of Blooddrunk.This Message Edited On 01.09.09

ASOP was very good but I wouldn't rate it best metal album of the year I don't think.

I think this list was simply a listener's list of the top albums so don't be too offended music snobs.

Sonic Syndicate?

Are you fucking kidding me?

What the fuck? That's an awful list.

A very Swedish list, you can tell. Still, Sense of purpose at number 1 is just silly though, but so very typically Swedish. The inclusions of Cult of Luna, Division of Laura Lee and The Hellacopters ftw!

And lmao at people still enquiring on the whereabouts of Cynic! This IS a list they should be in though of course!......

I could sh't a better list than this.

Yeah, bad list. But still...In Flames We Trust!

I want to be Swedish when I grow up.

This is the listener voted list, not the actual magazine staff list.

Just to clear that up.

which nobody listens to anyway because it's on thursdays from 10 to midnight, I think. Who listens to the radio from 10 till midnight?

seems more like a popularity contest than a list

Awesome list. Next time put some really awesome metal like Linkin Park in #1.


No Cynic= Instant fail

Blooddrunk makes a list. Wow, never thought I'd see that.

of course ASOP isn`t the best metal album of the year but it is still great IMO

Well this is better than some of the list I have seen. Having albums like Twlight of the Thunder God, Lazarus Bird, obZen, and Watershed is good enough I guess.

Some pretty good albums on here but mostly weird and crappy list.

hahaha oh wow

Not nearly as surprising for a Swedish list as the users here make it out to be. A Sense of Purpose won the Swedish grammy for best metal album too, so that should let you know how much the Swedes are into them.

For a list that everyones bashing, I've seen 99% of these bands given shout-outs, reviews and ratings for the last half year to so, shouldn't be that big a shock.

Am I one of the only ones that thinks that Cynic album is utter trash?

no, but you are a fucking idiot.

what's a radio?

Good selections, just awful order.
I can't comment on Cynic since I don't own it... :-/

i thought Bloodrunk wasnt too bad.

but Meshuggah is absolutely boring imho.
all that great talent...only to make dull songs that go nowhere.

and Amon Amarth or Opeth shoulda won. =D

Even though I liked the new In Flames, it definitely shouldn't be first. That goes to either Cynic or Amon Amarth IMO.

Sorry excuse for a list.

4) SONIC SYNDICATE – Love And Other Disasters

5) METALLICA – Death Magnetic

6) SLIPKNOT - All Hope Is Gone

7) HAUNTED – Versus

8) TRIVIUM – Shogun

9) GOJIRA – The Way Of All Flesh

10) HELLACOPTERS – Head Off

11) CHILDREN OF BODOM – Blooddrunk

12) AC/DC – Black Ice

How is that all better than ObZen?

And how did In Flames' new album get #1....

L2P.

obZen is overrated. But this list is pretty crappy, wtf is sonic syndicate doing on the list? they suck. And In Flames shouldn't be on this list either.
