The list never quite recovered from that.

OK so I have Ulver from your original list, which, though I did review it earlier for the ABM section, was at the time eligible, so I calculate that leaves me with two more (The Body and Mr Bungle) and then your top ten will be complete (with the final three still to do of course) with just one album, Ulver, not having been reviewed due to circumstances beyond my control. Does that sound right to you?

If so, then I'll make the final section your five last albums, with the original top three still unchanged, but will advise where in the lineup the other two come.

It has enough metal elements and I've seen it on enough "best of avant-garde metal" lists for me to include it. I was considering going the route you mentioned for the same reasons, but I decided to go for the better album in the end.

That's fine.

Will you be doing any real recent metal releases, like a "Hot Off The Press" kinda thing?

I don't want to start a war, but I had to put it here. I know it's your list, so I won't complain any more. Maybe I'll submit a little something for Troll next year.

Also, if you're curious, I was going to rec Myrath - Tales of the Sands instead of Whourkr but evidently I decided against it.

I already heard Myrath --- you recommended that to me a year or two ago. Wasn't impressed with it, as I recall. However, be assured
