Not that there's anything wrong with those bands/albums.... just seems like it would be something posted on one of those big forums with a lot of people into big labels....

Well, the Grand Magus album is excellent anyway, 100 percent real metal.

Ah, my copy says 2000 on the back. Must be a repress then.
Surprised to see the love for this one on this board. It did come out 1998, right before the vocalist had a heroin-breakdown. These days, they look more and more like a parody of themselves, but Apocalypse Dudes was a real masterpiece.
Cool to see the albums on BigFootKit's list, though I really hate a couple of them Diversity is good I guess.
I'd include Pagan Altar's albums, Defender of the Crown, Omens Portents and Dooms, Resound the Horn and possibly Portrait too. Maybe a Battleroar album as well, and the Wrathblade single is a good candidate.
I know I ain't doing much,
doing nothing means a lot to me.

Why the "controversy", about my picks? As i've spent most of the noughties digging through the oldies i've probably missed a lot of good music from this decade, hence the thread. However, i fail to see why anyone would feel moved to negatively comment on albums which i connect with. They just happened to be the ones which i've come back to most often over the years since their release.
Didn't really understand the comment about "big labels" either. Yes, the Down album was released by Elektra, but since when are Scooch Pooch, Surfdog, Rise Above & (the sadly kaput) MFN big labels? Also, what does the size of the label have to do with the quality of the music? Sounds like inverse snobbery to me.
Anyway, enough o' that.
How do you all feel the noughties stand up retrospectively Metalwise? I reckon it's a no-brainer that the '80's is probably the favourite Metallic-era here, but how do we feel the state of the "scene" compares nowadays?

I think the '00s started off alright, but the past five years or so have been horrible. There are way too many bands and far too few good ones.
Diversity is good I guess.
