In Retrospect - Album of the Year 2001 - Round 2
« on: April 08, 2011, 09:16:12 AM »
Everyone kept nominating different stuff, there wasn't nearly the consensus there was last time.

Top 10:
Opeth - Blackwater Park (16)
Tool - Lateralus (10)
Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever (9)
Devin Townsend - Terria (7)
Muse - Origin of Symmetry (5)
Radiohead - Amnesiac (5)
Incubus - Morning View (5)
System of a Down - Toxicity (5)
Anathema - A Fine Day To Exit (4)
Slayer - God Hates Us All (4)

PLEASE READ THE RULES!

Post your top 3 in order.  You may list one or two only if you would like / don't know enough of the albums.
Use the band name only, or list the band name first if you list both.
If you change your mind, just edit your post.  Don't repost (SPNKr - I'm looking at you)

I like some of those albums, but considering 2001 produced records like Distorted Lullabies and both maudlin of the Well albums, I cannot in good conscience vote for anything but the one record on that list I consider great.

1.  Opeth
2.  Tool

Those are the only two I've actually listened to.  Well, besides Toxicity.  Although I really liked it back in the day, I think it's just too "simple".

Well that seems a bit harsh, especially if you already know all the albums nominated and who they're by, but I edited my post anyways.

Yeah, I will definately check these out :) I don't know a lot of metal albums/bands from the 00's, I'll have to try and get into some. Thats why you'll probably see me voting for the older bands :)
