Kerrang Albums Of The Year 2006

This one of the reasons why people hate The Mars Volta without bothering to actually try listening to one of their albums. Dudes, they're NOT metal!

If I liked Mastodon, would I like anything else on here?

10,000 days grew on me. the mastodon was pretty cool, slayer ditto. the lamb of god--meh. everything else can suck it.

-- Tim Ellison is number one proponent of Beatle!!!Mania!!! on nu-ILX (timelliso...), December 20th, 2006.

kerrang isn't very "metal" anymore. it's basically the UK equivalent of Alternative Press now.

Perhaps need to borrow the Tool as well; there's a band I feel I need to pay more dues toward.

Enslaved, Negura Bunget, Mercenary, Daylight Dies, Katatonia, Agalloch, Novembre, Celtic Frost, Intronaut, Insomnium, Keep of Kalessin, Melechesh, Moonspell, Unexpect, Kayo Dot, Ihsahn, Aborym, Ansur, Mouth of the Architect

Terrorizer list due early January

I'd invest in: Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Satyricon, My Chemical Romance.

Stevie from this place has repped hard-ish for a bunch of garage rock stuff in Kerrang... Jack White and his doings dwarf everyone else's coverage, of course.

That's not a bad list, I suppose. I had no idea anyone in the field of rock journalism gave a shit about Taking Back Sunday, always seemed like a band made for and by 15-year-olds

there was a thread on ilm where we talked about kerrang's past lists. definitely a strange "progression". it's just a schizo identity that they have now. like a lot of magazines, i guess. throw something at the wall and see if it sticks.
