Music Banter - View Single Post - Trollheart takes on "1001 Metal Albums You Must Hear Before You Die"

Yeah, I hate to admit defeat and I dislike not seeing a project through to the end, but I have to admit my interest in and enthusiasm for the "1001 Albums" journal is gone totally, and it may as well be considered dead now. I honestly thought there would be a better mix of albums on the list, and some that were there baffled me, and I have no idea why they were considered essential listening before one catches the final busride home. Be that as it may, wrong or right, I'm not going to keep pursuing a project I've lost interest in, so in its place let's do this.

As compiled by the metal community here, and a work in progress, I'll be taking the list in order and reviewing each album, telling you what I think of it and inviting discussion, debate, fist-fights, death threats and long bouts of sulking. This fits in perfectly with my research for Metal Month III, and initially I was just going to do it as a feature in that, but even doing an album every day (which I wouldn't) I still would need several years to get through it, and that would never work.

So stand by for the first album sometime this week I hope. Feel free to tell me I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, as I usually don't.
