[Hentaiman]

Lots of great albums this year, while Metallica is my biggest surprise this year. Haven't expected anything that good like what they put out.

1. Bullet for My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire
2. Metallica - Death Magnetic
3. Whitesnake - Good to be Bad
4. Motley Crue - Saints of Los Angeles
5. Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy

There are so much more great albums that were released this year, so worth to mention are also:
*The Offspring - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
*Scars On Broadway - Scars On Broadway
*Judas Priest - Nostradamus (great album, although I kinda found it too long and boring in parts, with all the interludes and all)
*Theory of A Deadman - Scars & Souvenirs (overall nice album, but Bad Girlfriend is so fuckin' epic, like one of the year's best songs!)
*Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk

1. the subways - all or nothing

I downloaded that album last night and it's awesome. Though I only remember like three songs cause I fell asleep pretty fast (I was really tired).

Scars on Broadway- Self titled

1. Cancer Bats - Hail Destroyer
2. Metallica - Death Magnetic
3. Scars On Broadway - Self titled
4. Bullet for My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire
5. The Offspring - rise and fall

It's not just my opinion that the album was terribly mastered:

It's the opinion of me, plus the 18898 people that have signed this petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/re- ... netic.html

Did someone just put Dig Out Your Soul in a top 5 albums list? Jesus christ. Standards must be incredibly low for that rubbish.

[DJChaos182]

yeah i know death magnetic mastering is shit but i was just saying that its still awesome despite the shit production


Dig Out Your Soul sucks. just like Oasis always have.

[Max]

Whoa. Oasis WERE an extremely good band. Back in the days of Definately Maybe and Whats the story? Morning Glory.

That is all. Shite guitarists aswell.
