Message Board > General Chitchat > BEST METAL ALBUMS - 2002 |
SentencedtoBurn User Info... | Narrrr, now that 2002 be behind us, let's take a look back and examine our favorite metal releases of the last year. Hands down my favorite goes to Origin - Informis, Infinitas, Inhumanitas. A close second going to The Crown (Crowned in Terror). Holy shit for those who've never heard Origin, and better yet, for those who claim metal takes no talent, listen to this album. Flo Mounier now has a credible adversary (John Longstrength) in the "superchunkgrinddeath" drumming genre. As for the new Nile and Opeth, baahhh, not my thing, I'm sure the rest of you will crucify me for that statement. Oh yeah and one last thing, will In Flames take a page from the Carnal Forge playbook and Please.....Die! I guess for every rocking Swede, there's one that sucks. - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 2:08pm | ||
The Voice Of Reason | You would think that best metal album of 2002 would be an oxymoron, seeing as though metal sucked even in the 80's/ Haven't we evolved? - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 2:40pm | ||
jason User Info... | voice of reason can eat a shit sandwich. Nile - shrines Mastodon - remission Zyklon - world ov worms DEP - irony is a dead scene Opeth - deliverance - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 3:02pm | ||
The Voice Of Reason | HA HA HA (wanker) - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 3:18pm | ||
sentencedtoburn User Info... | The most blatant oxymoron here is the fact that your name is the "voice of reason", however you offer nothing to back your "reasoning". Your condemnation of metal is unfortunate, however it is understandable. You cannot grasp complex, technical music. Your ear is a victim like most others, of an over saturated, dull , almost retarded music scene. Ultimately i say to each their own i guess, but you are perfect example of ignorance - condemn what you cannot grasp. Wanker - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 3:19pm | ||
Jesse User Info... | I have to agree with Sentenced on that one... Some people do have a hard time comprehending technical music, Often claiming bands to be "Off-Time" or "just a buncha noise". I often hate a band on first listen because there is so much to take in (IE. Origin/Cryptopsy) But after you get the hang of the songs and grasp the time changes you realize how fucking kickass the musicians in the aforementioned bands are, Especially if you witness them live. Back on topic though, Origin and The crown are both very good releases for 2002, At the top of my list. I'm also a fan of the new Carnal Forge (Please.... Die) And, Im not sure if it was released 2002 but Death - Live and Raw is the fucking shit! Chuck is a god and all should bow down before his unprecedented skill and prowess. - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 3:42pm | ||
Jesse User Info... | Hey Jason! What are you up to now? You're in Van right? You jammin with anyone? Also, We're thinking of playing in Van sometime soon, If you hear of any "Slots that need to be filled" (insert pun there - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 3:52pm | ||
Masturbating The War God User Info... | Nile-In their Darnkend Shrines Impailed- Mondo Medical Opeth - Deliverance The Live Death album came out some time in 01.

May make the list.. - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 7:49pm | ||
ML7Mike | Oh ya, what I heard of the new Mastodon kicks ass too.. - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 8:02pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | Mastodon was not bad the first few times I heard it, but I lost interest after 4 listens. Maybe I'm just getting old. Nothing will ever beat Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions... That is my favorite album of every year! - Mon, 6 Jan 2003 8:04pm | ||

Masturbating The War God User Info... | jesus fucking christ, I don't belive it! Indeed, it's good. - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 3:20am | ||

Justin | I can tell that Me Want Cookie has yet to hear Unholy Cult. Immolation have come up with somthing werid and new. Not to mention extreamly tecnical and hard to play. - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 9:11am | ||
SPIRITmockingFLESH | isnt hate a strong word for killswitch? Listen to TO THE SONS OF MAN and tell me you hate it.Hate is a word reserved for shit like nickelback.I think killswitch are really good. - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 9:55am | ||
neil | Sons... is a different year. We're talking 2002 remember. I hate the new album, but I don't hate the band. They have potential... - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 10:38am | ||
Me Want Cookie | Sorry, I was basing my opinion of Immolation upon being bored to death by every other album and their live performance. - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:59pm | ||
Emo is for homos | "The Voice Of Reason - You would think that best metal album of 2002 would be an oxymoron, seeing as though metal sucked even in the 80's/ Haven't we evolved?" As a matter of fact we have. Metal of the new millenium has never been better. Its come along way. Unfortunately just as I rightfully assume all emo fans are closet ass rimmers, most people assume metal is poorly produced and basic. Personally I prefer this, as it keeps idiots from trying to relate to me. - Tue, 7 Jan 2003 1:12pm | ||
SPIRITmockingFLESH | I cant believe that no one besides me picked the new DERANGED as a best of 02 album....plainfield cemetary rules!!! - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 8:08pm | ||
SPIRITmockingFLESH | OOHHHHHHHHHH what about the last BLIND GAURDIAN CD???NO ONE? - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 8:12pm | ||

SPIRITmockingFLESH | HEAVEN SHALL BURN!!!!!!!!!WHATEVER IT TAKES - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 10:38pm | ||
jason User Info... | "I heard you were a dick,dont fucking bother talking to me" I hear lots of things about people, but I usually wait and form MY OWN opinion before I go saying anything too stupid. actually I like some Blind Gaurdian. Like the majority of my posts, I was just kidding around (and bumping the metal topics!). oops! I guess I'm "talking" to you again. What a dick, eh? - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 10:40pm | ||
Anonymous | buddy I do make my own opinion, thats why nothing has been said in the past....as for your post"lets be serious",um,its kind of the start of someone about to say something serious I would say.....but you are right, I might be a little hasty calling you a dick.....lets just say you were being seriously annoying with your post, and call it a minor clash.BLIND GAURDIAN just happens to be one of my favs. - Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:46pm | ||
jason User Info... | a minor clash it is then ;} If only we could convey inflections on message boards so much confusion would be avoided. a late inclusion to my list: Into Eternity - Dead or Dreaming It grows on me with every listen. - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:16am | ||
SPIRITmockingFLESH | Yeah INTO ETERNITY are good....elysium fields is a fucking awesome song. - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:26am | ||
SPIRITmockingFLESH | Hey Jason, have you heard HEAVEN SHALL BURN?....The album WHATEVER IT MAY TAKE shredds. - Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:35am | ||
