I checked out Ape of God (the one with the shorter songs), and thought it was pretty good. I still need to check out No and the other Ape of God. Did you check out Obake yet?

I still have some albums to listen to, I've been checking out so much music that I haven't been thinking about this too much. My non metal list (If we're doing that) is all good, and I'm pretty sure what I've got on my list will stay. It's more a matter of what else to add.

I'm close with mine, having listened to almost everything I needed to again over the last few months. There's a few albums that I know so well that I didn't really 'need' to relisten to to know they should be on my list. It's these ones that tend to be the higher ranked ones.
My biggest issue is that there's always going to be some albums that I think deserve points that I just won't have room for.

I think I'm reasonably happy with my list now, but I'll probably keep changing album order every time I look at it.
edit: getting started on head to head comparisons and so many have moved already  but I don't think I will add or remove any albums, just reorderEdited by Triceratopsoil - 14 May 2020 at 3:25pm |

I already finalised mine. I don't think it will change now unless I discover something really sensational.

Don't forget about the best of decade vote folks. 2 months to go until the deadline for your votes to be included.

I'm making slow progress. I have a list of albums to re-listen to and every one gets placed on my list afterwards. Whether I'll be happy with that list after this re-listen project remains to be seen.

Yep. I keep thinking of things when I'm away from a computer, and then when it comes time to add to the list, I've forgotten.

I'm not even going to worry about the Non-Metal extra until I have a list of 50 main albums that I'm happy with. Made pretty much zero progress on that so far though.

Well the Non-Metal is optional. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If we get enough of them we'll add the bonus section, if we don't I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

It's the non metal list I'm struggling with. Plenty of non metal albums in my collection I love but not that many that are in non metal here.

Nope, they're related but one is not under the other. For this you can put MR in your main list but not Non-Metal. That's what the extra list is for.

I was under the impression metal-related is a non metal subgenre? it doesn't make the cut in my main list

Colin you've put Opeth - Heritage on your Non-Metal list. That album is in Metal Related so is eligible for the main list, not the bonus Non-Metal round.

@Colin, have you ever heard the sludge metal band Obake? I'm re-listening to their debut from 2011 now and forgot how great it is. I could see it being something up your alley:

Oh and @vmoore, got the Hexen album on and it's damn fine thrash. Unknown after one listen whether it will get a 5/5 and/or break top 50 for for the decade, but it's definite 4.5 first impression.

^ Not a bad idea. I always find it hard to really compare two releases of different genres. Right now I'm doing a lot of re-listening and sliding each album into the main list where it feels more appropriate, but some are getting changed again as I go. Inevitably there are going to be some albums I absolutely love that get no points and even some of my favourite bands are going to get shafted completely. I'm actually having some inner turmoil over Blind Guardian. I've historically rated their two 2010s albums as 4.5's which would preclude them completely from my top 50. But they're my favourite band of all time and it feels wrong not to include at least one of those albums somewhere. And they probably will get in there because I know it's because they are my favourite band I hold them to a higher standard than anyone else: I know there are power metal albums I like less that got 5 stars from me where At the Edge of Time only has 4.5, because it's not Somewhere Far Beyond.
In fact, I probably have a lot of 4.5's that deserve revaluation due to being growers. Cult of Luna/Julie Christmas is easily one of my most played releases of the last decade and I already had to up that one to 5 stars and it will definitely feature high on the final list even though based on original ratings it wouldn't have got a look in.
