opeth 3
gojira 2

If it were Blackwater Park v Mars to Sirius... or perhaps All Flesh v Arms, Hearse it would be a much closer battle. But it's not so... Opeth takes this one easily

I chose The Way... over Mars... because I figured it would be one not everyone had heard yet. Both great albums, but the Opeth one was better executed

Opeth - 4
Gojira - 2

Yeah I mean that was the case for me, so if your goal was to get people to listen to more Gojira, mission accomplished

Really all that needs to be said has already been said. What it boils down to, in my opinion, is that Blackwater Park has achieved classic status and The Way... has not.

Opeth - 5
Gojira - 2

Ok I calling Opeth Blackwater Park here and they win as the best Progressive Metal album of the 00's by beating Gojira in the final round 5-2. This war achieved an impressive 33 votes the second best since the revamp behind the Black Sabbath war. So thanks to Lolpocolypse for the selection

Opeth
Gojira
Enslaved
Meshuggah
Textures
Sybreed

Sludge Metal Albums of the Early 1990s (James)


James has selected sludge metal for his war, I've jumbled around the order of the choices and any keen-eyed members will know that both the Neurosis and Acid Bath albums have been up before, Neurosis on the old Album Wars thread (was actually selected by me) and the Acid Bath album has been up on the old Metal Wars format. I remember both won as well, in fact the Nuerosis album beat a Melvins one!

James Says:Sludge Metal has always been one of my favourite subgenres personally. That murky, brooding sound satisfies me to no end and the 90s produced some bloody fantastic albums although I shortened the time range to make my choices easier.

Unknown Soldier Says:Likewise sludge metal is favoured metal sub-genre of mine, I'm especially a fan of its pivotal New Orleans scene, but recognize that some of the very best sludge metal bands have come from farther afield, as evidenced by bands such as the Melvins and Neurosis. Sludge metal is still one of the biggest metal genres around today given the popularity of bands such as Mastodon and Baroness etc.

The Albums Selected
Eyehategod - Take as Needed for Pain
Harvey Milk - My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment of What My Love Could Be
Neurosis - Souls At Zero
Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops
Melvins - Bullhead

James Says:Eyehategod-One of the angriest albums I have ever encountered and a band that are very underrated I think. Harvey Milk-A very strange album. Powerful and unique.

Also according to Howard Il Duck, Eyehategod basically sounds like a load of drunk guys trying to jam

Eyehategod Take as Needed for Pain 1993


Versus

Harvey Milk My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment of What My Love Could Be 1995
