The cool thing about Remission is that you can nod off for 15-20 minutes and not miss a thing.

Orcus, there are times when your incessant negativity about almost everything annoys me.

But then you make a post like that that is so full of dry humor that I can't help but laugh. :lol

I try. Plus I only seem negative about everything because criticism sparks a lot more interesting discussions than just being agreeable, which most of the time makes a poster just another "yeah that's cool" in a string of similar comments. I do have and have posted lots of positive things about various topics but some people probably just don't catch it.

Yeah, CTS is pretty much the best.
Indeed, though Leviathan is also pretty awesome.

Can't remember whether you're a Foos fan or not, but nevertheless I hope to see The Colour and the Shape pretty high.

36. The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium: The Mars Volta has covered a fair bit of ground since their debut, but nothing they've done since has been able to quite capture the magic that their initial brand of psychotic prog rock had. Cedric's vocals were at the top of their game, Omar's guitar work is technical and insane but never forced, and Jon Theodore's drum work is the best the band has seen (yes that includes Pridgen's). Virtually every song on the album stands out in some way, whether it's hard hitting intro of Son Et Lumiere/Inertiatic ESP, the gorgeous Eriatarka, or the one-two KO of Televators and Take the Veil as a closer. There are very few bad things I can really say about this album, which is to the strength of this album and the ones that follow it in this list.

35. Botch -We Are the Romans: The fact that Botch is a mathcore band whose members went on to form Russian Circles and Minus the Bear should give you some idea about what to expect from this album. Botch's technical hardcore sound was incredibly influential, and after listening to it it's not hard to see why. Much like Gojira, the riffs are absolutely infectious – it's near impossible not to headbang while listening to them. Just listen to the riff at 0:39 of “To Our Friends in the Great White North”. Then listen to the entire album. Many, many times.

Following this list. Enjoy Amsterdam, even if you are missing Protest The Hero / Born of Osiris for it. Look out the Hotel Ben! And don't be fooled by the waffles, they're not as tasty as they look, especially for €5!

Thanks, it was awesome! How was the gig?


CTS is a good album, but there's too much material on it that's just totally forgettable.

Fucking wat?

Yep. Good chunks of The Czar and The Last Baron, and pretty much all of Ghost of Karelia/Crack the Skye. I like them when I hear them, but I can't even think of how they go 5 minutes after hearing it.

It was mental dude, I can't hear anything out of my left ear. Born Of Osiris are exactly as tight live as you'd want them to be (you know there's 6 of them?) and Protest were awesome too, man can that guy play guitar.

34. Pain of Salvation - BE: And, perhaps surprisingly, Pain of Salvation takes another spot on the list. BE seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it ordeal, but I most certainly fall into the former camp. While it's certainly not an album that one could listen to regularly, in the right state of mind, with the right environment, it's one of the most incredible listening experiences you'll ever have. Driving up to Northern California and watching the low clouds roll over the hilltops and through the trees while listening to Pluvius Aestivus is easily one of the most magical musical experiences of my life.

33. Converge - Axe to Fall: The first four songs on Axe to Fall could along earn the album a place on this list – they're probably the best 9 minutes of metal I've ever heard. Add to that a slew of other fantastic songs and wrap it up with the intense closing duo of Cruel Bloom/Wretched World (see sig), and you have a brilliant album, and Converge's best effort to date. The only thing that keeps it from being higher is that the album does seem to sag in the middle, but that's more due to the inhuman perfection of the beginning and end.

AGGHHH I wish I could have gone so badly. Glad it was good though, we'll definitely have to catch a gig some time again (and hopefully that Rolo gig will get rescheduled >:(). Are you going to Devin Townsend in march?

I used to LOVE De-Loused so much in high school and then for whatever reason I just stopped being able to stomach it whatsoever. Which is a shame because I still think it's a really good album :lol

Heh.

33 and 34 are two of the worst albums I've heard in the last year.  :lol

Different strokes and all, just thought it was funny that those two fell right next to each other.

Love De-Loused.  The only Volta album I listen to with any regularity, though the first three songs off of Frances the Mute might be the best first-three-song run ever.

BE is pretty darn awesome, and you're right, it is enhanced in just the right places and moods.


Converge...when I saw them live they really didn't do much for me.

When'd you see Converge?

OH RIGHT.  You saw Dethklok.  And Mastodon playing Crack the Skye.

I'm still sad I had to miss that concert.

Yeah I'm seeing Devin, now that's gonna be a GREAT gig. Rolo are touring Ireland in the next couple weeks, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for them to pop over to London after that...no news yet though. Cosmology would make my top 50 albums, not expecting to see it in your list though

BOTCH  :hefdaddy
May be coincidental, but I listened to An Anthology Of Ends yesterday. FanTASTIC band, I don't see why we don't have anymore fans of them here.
We Are The Romans is so brutal, so good, banging riffs, energetic. Fuckin' A.

Oh and good to see Converge up there too. :tup

Which is a good thing. at least for me! I'm always checking new stuff! :tup I kind of want to do a list like that but it would be sooo hard to rank... Just my top 15 from 2010 was so long to do and I'm still not satisfied with it.
