What classics do you want to see reviewed?

Is FNM's The Real Thing worthy of classic status or am I delusional?

Angel Dust is, certainly. I've got all three Mr Bungle albums on my 'to do' classic list, if that helps...

Imo, it is, for sure.

I wouldn't consider any of the four you mentioned to be worthy of 'classic' status but to each their own.

I wouldn't give a classic status to Pleasure to kill

I think King Crimson-Red is enough of an influence on more of the out-there areas of metal to be called a classic.

I would like to do some classic prog at some point, maybe early Genesis. Not got Red, but KC is a must.

Aerosmith - Rocks.
The toxic twins at their absolute drug induced peak.
Dirty, raw and all-around badass, this album has infected my soul since it's release so long ago.

Why not?

+1 to whoever said diSEMBOWELMENT's Transcendence...

Also the lack of early Samael strikes me. Blood Ritual and Worhsip Him are freakin' classics.. I have always wondered why people aren't more interested in Samael. Perhaps a little exposure will do the trick. The 'ritual black doom' approach on the early records is pretty unique and has been quite influential. I say Blood Ritual for teh classics!

I've considered doing Ceremony Of Opposites a few times. I think they went completely downhill after that, though.

Duh, it was me! :wink:

That's been #1 on classics to review list for a while, I thought I mentioned that to you before.

The time that diSEMBOWELMENT takes their rightful place in the classics section is rapidly approaching, I'd say 2-3 weeks max.

Coming from someone who can't stand most black metal it's the opposite of what you said. Passage was excellent and their last album Solar Soul is the best they've released yet.

I still have to check SS out, actually, but if it's the catchy electronic stuff they've been doing repetitiously since CoO... meh.

Of course it was you.. I just wasn't paying attention when I wrote the post. You have mentioned it before, yes. A well deserved classic indeed!

Ceremony of Opposites is very killer as well. I just considered the earlier albums where they 'founded' their style to be slightly more deserving of the 'classic'-tag.

Their industrial material is indeed weak. Less retarded than Rammstein, I'll give them that, but it's the same league. Apart from that I don't have much positive phrases to give it.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath...

Fuckin' 'ell. while I'm at it;

Yes, I have a huge Classic list!
