Krajem prošle godine američki magazin Decibel objavio je listu 100 najboljih metal albuma dekade. Listu sam snimio površno onda i tek joj se sada pošteno posvetio.
Teško mi je sada objektivno, činjenicama potkrepljeno, govoriti o utjecaju i relevantnosti ovog magazina. Po mom (ne)skromnom sudu sigurno jedan od bitnijih što se tiče bilo kakve forme ekstremnije i manje komercijalne metal muzike, bliže Terrorizeru nego Hammeru ili Kerrangu, ako vam to išta znači.
Converge ima 4 albuma među top 100, primjetno je već iz naslova članka. Mastodon, Isis i Pig Destroyer po 3 albuma. Svoje mjesto su našli i Fugazi, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tragedy...
P r o v o k a c i j a – stoji u pozadini svake liste koja nosi nazive poput... najbolji ikada, nabolji u posljednih 10 godina, najbolji rock, metal, punk u svemiru.... Probajte ostati cool kada vidite ovu listu, pod uvjetom naravno da slušate bilo kakav oblik metalske muzike.
