zxlkfl./ldfjkho's top 51 albums v. Finished now.

[skydivingninja]

So when I first heard Mew, I was a bit skeptical. I played all of No More Stories… in its entirety and only found 2 or 3 songs that I really enjoyed, and I found the vocals quite annoying.

Listen.

I hate you.

[zxlkho]

[The King in Crimson]

lol at top 5 albums that aren't Devin Townsend

[zxlkho]

HAHAHAHA Devin Townsend is really not that good. The only album that was close to being an honorable mention was Addicted.

[Kosmo]

There's a good chunk that would make it into my list, so GOOD.

[glaurung]

HAHAHAHA Devin Townsend is really not that good. The only album that was close to being an honorable mention was Addicted.

Is failing that hard painful or have you just gotten used to it?

[Quadrochosis]

He's completely oblivious to his failures.

[zxlkho]

Because there aren't any.

[The King in Crimson]

I actually kind of agree.

The only Devy albums that would rack my top 50 would be Terria and Addicted maybe. His others are just too hit and miss.

[Zantera]

lolMainstream at having In Absentia as number one. 

Nah but seriously, it's a great list with a lot of fantastic albums.
Some of these would make it onto mine, some wouldn't and some would probably be honorable mentions, but still one of the stronger lists I've seen personally.

[Jirpo]

Sorry to bump this but I stumbled across this, just thought it would be interesting to see how Letters taste has changed in the last 8 months.

https://www.metalstorm.net/users/list.php?list_id=742

[MasterShakezula]

Sounds like a successful corruption. 

[zxlkho]

wut

a lot of those albums are the same. In fact every one of those albums was on the list except Iced Earth, and I had a different Death album...


EDIT: and yes, my taste frequently changes. I've always been like that. If I did this list again today it would probably look totally different.

[Heretic]

I&W used to be your #1? Hm.

[ClairvoyantCat]

To be honest, that's a whole lot more consistent than my rankings 8 months later would be!  Nothing wrong with a change of taste.

Never said there was anything wrong with it, and I didn't mean to imply that. I think everyones taste frequently changes. I just thought it would be interesting to see. I just posted it in case any others wanted to see how the list had changed. And my list would probably be less consistent if you asked me 8 months in the future aswell

[zxlkho]

Oh I thought you were implying I was some hipster douche or something.

[Ravenheart]

Yeah, that list isn't radically different. It only focuses on one genre, anyway.

hipster douche
