I set myself up for that comment.

Every one of these albums are appealing in one way or another. Right now the dilemma for me is between Eyehategod and High on Fire, but I've got a soft spot for Eyehategod's brand of filth. I like my sludge loose and disgusting, I've always had a hard time thinking of Death Is This Communion as a sludge / stoner album. It's tight as hell, has a ton of movement, and is usually pretty mid-tempo.

Boris- Heavy Rocks
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Baroness - Red Album
Eyehategod - Dopesick
You're voting off an album you've never even heard before? WTF, man?

It's stoner based, comes from stoner lineage, and doesn't fit anywhere else. Close enough.

Well I can't vote in something that I've never heard either.

Shouldn't you at least listen to the album before you vote for it? Take you all of forty-five minutes or so. There's a Youtube vid embedded right in the OP. And here...

I've always thought of it as being neo thrash. I agree with epoch that threre's really nothing particularly stoner-ish about that album. But it's still the best album on this list regardless.

I'm not really complaining that Death Is This Communion doesn't belong on the list, there are definitely stonery / sludgy elements throughout the album, it's just got a lot of other **** going for it too, a lot of styles in there. And a lot of those other styles don't really click with me. It's a fantastic album, great songwriting, great production, and great musicianship, I'm just having a hard time settling on a suitable way to judge these lists. We're voting for best Sludge / Stoner album, so I'm trying to base my votes on which albums make the best use of Sludgy / Stonery styles, how the album performs within its genre. I don't think I'd have any problem placing High On Fire above several of these bands if it were simply a "Best Overall Musicianship" poll.

**** man I don't know, maybe it'll grow on me by the end of the division.

I wouldn't worry about how it fits with the genre. Once the battle's up, the best album should win, regardless of genre Nazism. Leave The Man -- that's me -- to worry about genres.

Alright, so what Meshuggah album would you say deserves a spot in this thread? Still new to the band, so I don't have much of an opinion, but I see Destroy, Erase, Improve get probably the most nods. Then again, I get the feeling that a lot of these people dig that album cause it's closer to thrash than Nothing or Catch Thirtythree, which equals better in the eyes of many metalheads without imagination -- and I don't trust the thrash zombies.

Well, Baroness have been forced to abdicate. Next round...


8. Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
7. Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
6. Eyehategod - Dopesick
5. Melvins - Houdini
4. Boris - Heavy Rocks
3. Mastodon - Leviathan
2. High On Fire - Death is This Communion
1. Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops


Vote 4 off. Polls end on March 23.


Oh, and not to be a dick, but I didn't count Unknown Soldier's vote against Boris, since he admitted that he never listened to the album. Consider it now a rule that you have to actually listen to an album to vote for it. I don't think that's unreasonable.
