I actually liked Marilyn Manson in the late nineties. I just think the quality of his releases have gone down badly since then and his enthusiams on stage is non-existent.

Just that fact that they slipped a Marilyn Manson track in there, makes the whole thing a freak show. The man hasn�t been relevant since the turn of the century. I saw him live last year and boy did he look like a man who wanted to be anywhere but there playing on that stageConfused

Okay,

So here are my :guitarbang2:  !!!TOP 30 METAL Albums of 2012!!! :guitarbang2:  Thank you by the way for letting me take part late in the game.
I have a small comment on the choices at the Playlist Page.
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?feature=edit_ok&list=PL2DU3TBNutEdcwMdqDXHeZ6OnkIl0Kapa

Basically I listen to all these CD's on a regular basis depending on mood. But the Top 10/15 I listen to
every-other day as they are completely stuck in my head Wink.

I'm still getting into a handful of others, but its fair to say these are the ones that will stick.


Note: I'll re-edit this post with the List in Text soon, otherwise please enjoy (I hope) my Playlist. I'm sure mine is more "Mainstream" than others Embarrassed.

Due date was 1/15 but I think that you could probably submit one; the sooner the better.

That new Wintersun is fantastic, I love it! Smile

The recording isn't very good though. I can hear a bit of background hiss, and there are volume spikes up and down when there shouldn't be, sometimes it's hard to hear the guitars over the orchestration.

If it weren't for those problems, plus the fact it's a very short album....5 tracks, only 3 actual songs, roughly 35+ minutes.....I might give it the nod for album of the year. The songs are just epic sounding!

I actually think the sound on that bonus dvd is better mixed...I wish Wintersun would release a remixed version of the album using the audio from the dvd. Unfortunately for us U.S.A.'ers, the dvd is only PAL format, no NTSC Cry

I just ordered that new Wintersun after watching a couple of the in the studio live videos on youtube.



Sounds pretty epic, though I'm not really familiar with them.


I guess I could put the Nightwish - Imaginaerum album in the 2012 releases too, since it didn't get released in the U.S. 'til what, January 08?
