For easy reference, here is the full best of 2007 list, with links for each album's review.
It's been some work, but great fun to do. From now on, the blog will resume its regular activity, with posting still frequent. Hopefully.
What did you think of it? What would you change for your own lists? Did you discover anything with my list? Let me know!

Great List! You've certainly given me a few albums to check out. I was curious if you've listened to Virgin Black's "Requiem - Mezzo Forte"? When I'm asked (or not asked but tell everyone anyways) what the best album of 2007 was, this is the album I chose.
ReplyDeleteIf you have, I'm curious to know what you thought of it as I've come to admire your perspective of metal music.
If not, I suggest you have a listen, I find it very moving.
Hi there, dpth!
ReplyDeleteI have that album, but haven't listened to it a lot, just gave it a couple of spins. I'll pay a bit more attention to it and when I come back from the Roadburn festival I'll post a review of it here. Let's see if I reach the conclusion that it would have merited inclusion in the list!
A lista transpira qualidade :]. Anyhow, se fizesse um top 100 não deixaria de fora certos álbuns, em especial:
ReplyDeleteArachnotaur - Slo=w Pertinacious Threnody On the Abnegation of Succour
Aidan Baker - Scalpel
Abigor - Fractal Possession
Hacksaw to the Throat - Wastelands
Professor Fate - Inferno
Lorus - Deluge
Overmars - Born Again
Blut Aus Nord - Odinist
;)
És pessoa de bom gosto, oh déjà. :)
ReplyDeleteArachnotaur não conheço, os outros estariam todos numa lista de... 115, diria. Não me dês ideias para o ano, ainda faço uma de 200!
Hacksaw to the throat e Overmars especialmente, seriam para aí o 101 e o 102.
15 DE ABRIL!!!
