I haven't heard either of those bands, I've been somewhat of a new music recluse as of late.By March, all the "Best of 08" bands will be in heavy ipod rotation.Only awhile longer.... Gary,

You know almost every list will have the same albums, from Opeth, to Gojira and all those big names, so its pretty cool to see another side of metal.

Kudos on the above.Long Island eats dick.Black Friday shoppers are cunts.Gay rights are awesome.

It was one of my favorite albums. It might not have the technical prowess of Opeth or whoever else but its a better listen through and through. I agree with you Gary thsat everyone needs to go out and get this album and really give it a chance. I was shocked to see Kingdom of Sorrow at the top. It was one of my favorite albums.

It should be noted that I don't write the death metal column or the prog metal column or the black metal column or the trash metal column or the doom metal column. I write the noise rock column, and my list reflects that, mostly. Anyone who expected me to pick acts like Protest The Hero or Opeth or Nachmystium missed the point.
