Move White Pony up a spot or two (Joe has convinced me), and then it'll be fine. Something like: 1. Dopethrone 2. Close to a World Below 3. Clayman 4. Follow the Reaper 5. White Pony 6. Dead Heart in a Dead World 7. Black Seeds of Vengeance 8. Wishmaster 9. Resurrection 10. The Art of Self Defense Even though those bottom 3 are meh, there just isn't very many albums from this year worth considering. |

I really think that the Morbid Angel or Vader albums would be better additions than The Art of Self Defense. Nobody cared about HoF back then. |

Somehow, if people didn't care about Formulas Fatal To The Flesh (an awesome album), I don't think they cared about Gateways To Annihilation. |

Even if that were true, it would still be more than the number of people who cared about the HoF album. |

I still wonder if Within Temptation - Mother Earth would be out of place at the bottom. I think it sold better than Wishmaster (it's supposed to have sold 750,000 copies in Europe), it got good reviews, and while I can't speak to influence (I don't know how a symphonic metal album that successful at the time could have not had an influence), it's not like you guys are strongly extolling the virtues of the last few. |

Within Temptation were pretty huge back then, but I know very little about the symphonic metal scene. |

Sherick has said Wishmaster is the most important power/symphonic metal album from this year. |

Mother Earth is actually symphonic gothic, and there's no rule about how many albums can come from a subgenre. This was a big year for symphonic metal because it's the year that its commercial potential came into focus. I don't know that it belongs above Wishmaster (my gut instinct says yes, but that's based on general impressions and possibly bias rather than concrete evidence). I don't even know if it belongs on the list, but I think it should be considered. |

I know what you meant. The difference is that 1998 had non-filler albums. I'm leaning more toward the Vader album anyway. They were probably one of the biggest death metal bands at the time, and Litany is their biggest album. |

No World Order Jane Doe > Sun That Never Sets. Prowler in the Yard > Thorns. The Dreadful Hours should be here somewhere. No World Order doesn't need to be here. Iced Earth's Horror Show should probably make it.. pretty popular. Unfortunately I think Rammstein's Mutter should also make the list. 1. Opeth - Blackwater Park 2. Tool - Lateralus 3. System of a Down - Toxicity 4. Converge - Jane Doe 5. Neurosis - A Sun that Never Sets 6. Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard 7. My Dying Bride - The Dreadful Hours 8. Iced Earth - The Horror Show 9. Thorns - Thorns 10. Rammstein - Mutter Something like that. |

Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard 7. My Dying Bride - The Dreadful Hours 8. Iced Earth - The Horror Show 9. Windir- 1184 10. Thorns - Thorns |

Thorns - Thorns Mutter should still probably be on there in place of Thorns perhaps. |
