The MetalSucks List: Most Entertaining Comments of the Year!

MetalSucks polled some people who know what they're talking about and some people who are pure idiota to come up with a list of the 21 best albums of the 2000s. So far, roughly half of it is pure crap or meh.

#21: Slipknot - Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses = NO! WRONG! More like Slipnotagoodband. Get it?
#20: Shadows Fall - The War Within = Fine. Whatever. Not into it but listened to it when it came out.
#19: Mastodon - Remission = Of course but waaay too low.
#18: Lamb of God - New American Gospel = This means at least two more LOG albums will be on the list. I love groove metal as much as the next guy, but overkill much?
#17: Hatebreed - Perseverance = Not into this either, but Andrew WK did specifically request that Hatebreed be played during an in-store signing at Sonic Boom in Seattle. True story.
#16: Machinehead - The Blackening = Good pick, reasonable placement if you removed #14-15 and promised to stop putting crap on the list.
#15: Nachtmystium - Assassins: Black Meddle, Pt. 1 = Not my scene, man. Can't get into it.
#14: System of a Down - Toxicity = Lay off the reefer. I did see them live once though, and they totally ripped.

I'm pretty sure that this list will have the same problem as a lot of lists: including crap way too high up in the order. Like how the Maxim Hot 100 has Miranda Kerr at #58 and Fergie "Pees Her Pants" Ferg at #45.



Obviously System of a Down does not belong above Mastodon, Lamb of God, or Machinehead on a metal "best of...," but such is life. Moral of the story? Read the comments because people are getting really angry about the list and hurling schoolyard insults at each other, and listen to this song by Burst because it is excellent.
