Recommended Posts

Yeah obviously Babymetal > Vega.

 

As Nick Workman would say 'What The Fuck!' ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

Back on topic - I heard most of Ammunition over the weekend - definite top 5 contender - excellent album

 

Glen, what Ammunition are you talkin bout ?

Yeah, there's a couple of blatant fillers, the lead off track being one, but otherwise its like a cross of Wig Wam and Eclipse.........very nice....the second half of the album is very strong, with 'Strung Out' being one my fav tracks of the whole year.

Hell In The Club
Crazy Lixx

 

 

Possibles:
Rockstars From Mars
Hansel
Laced In Lust
Nasty Nuns

 

Yet to hear (but on the radar):

Laneys Legion

Did you like that at all? Jeez I was disappointed with it. I didn't even like a single song on it. Just demo-ish rubbish from start to end, imo, of course.

 

Didn't realise Valerie released a new CD. Was that referenced at all on this forum anywhere? I'd love to hear that too. Average debut, but they offered potential for sure.

Only given it a back-ground listen and it sounded quite good to me. That's why it's sitting in the 'possibles' at the moment and not the "definite' or 'likely' lists.

 

When i've only got 3 definites, there's a lot of room for movement.

Okay... tonight, I will unveil my latest ratings for every disc I have heard in 2014. I have been relistening and regrading everything as needed and it will be the full list, as well as a Top 10 per genre.

 

Stay tuned....

Have you check out the new SABATON ? 'Heroes' is the title

some might struggle with the vocal but after several spins, I say that's a very good heavy/power metal album,

might suit your taste bro, I dig it

Yeah, I was gonna post the other day too but thought I'd leave it till the end of the year. I still have a big chunk of significant albums unrated so I need to get that all sorted first.

Cool list. Interestingly enough, I gave Steel Panther and States of Panic basically the exact same scores as you (83% and 82% respectively) - only difference is, they're 2 and 3 on my list! ;)

Nice list Alpha. Personally im gonna concentrate on a top 20-30 as cant be bothered to re listen to the average stuff.

 

Glad you are digging Confess, Ammunition. I have that A or Kings but havent really listened to it yet.....lookin forward now ;-)

I just wanted to compile the total list for myself personally but thought I'd share it. I can't believe I have heard that many discs this year. As you can see, many fell in the 70-79 range.

 

I really like the Angels or Kings.

Yeah, I know what you mean, mate. My list is gigantic but the lesser 3/4 part of the list has occupied little of my ear time - it's more just for my personal reference.
