I don't believe that, most of those albums were topping metal lists all over the net

^Yeah, and there are some people not from PA here and some of them voted the same as what everyone else did.

It�ll change in time Karl. Right now we should be happy that so many people from PA have chosen to contribute to building MMA. As MMA is spawned by PA it�s only natural that most Collabs working on the database ( which means the ones who have put in the votes that determined the albums that ended up on the 2011 top 10) are interested in the progressive/ avant garde/ experimental side of metal. There are still plenty of room left for more Collaborators who would like to do team work, and I�m sure some of those Collab spots will be taken by non-PA members in the future ( and here I would like to stress that we are also very happy that PA members are contributing).
A site like this takes a couple of years ( and maybe even longer) to be a force on the net. Things take time. I don�t necessarily share your concern that visiters will say: quote: "oh that's a prog metal site, not interested". In the last couple of months we�ve had about a 100 people each month becoming members of the forum and I�m pretty sure not all of those come from PA ( not that I have proof of course). Also if they look on the frontpage, I�d say the reviews represent other subs than prog metal/ prog-related metal and I think that�s what people are most interested in. While MMA ( like PA) has many great features, it�s always the reviews streaming on the frontpage that will be the main attraction.
( actually right now there is only one progressive metal album review showing on the frontpage) Edited by UMUR - 25 Feb 2011 at 2:42am |

Looking forward to your review of that one I loved Monotheist, but I didn't give this one enough spins to put it on the list. Should belong there, I'd imagine.

I always hear the metal first, then the non-metal elements. If I hear them at all. I have a friend who's a musician and he's massively into contemporary music, concrete music, and all forms of avantgarde in general. He says that he hears elements of serialism in Paracletus... Well fuck me, they must be hidden somewhere behind the wall of noise.
Also, the tendency to make of metal something that it wasn't intented to be was pretty much the dominant trend in the decade that passed, and it is now widely accepted. There is a lot of PA stuff in other 2010 tops on the net; for example, the AllMusic top metal list of 2010 contains Agalloch, Deathspell Omega, Sigh, The Ocean, Enslaved, Rosetta, Kylesa and Nachtmystium. That's a whole third of their list. |

Yeah Haken and Star One are all over the place, lol. The point was not "a lot of PA" albums, it was "only PA" albums. And of course some of those albums are amongst the best metal release in 2010, that wasn't the point neither. |

I think around that time I was copying all my PA reviews, so that is probably why they were all prog-metal

Well,most of us (and pretty much all the higher ups currently) come from PA so what do you expect? |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

Should Agalloch get a pretty little banner like at PA? (Saying "Collaborators Top Album of 2010")
