Metal Hammer Critics’ Top 50 Albums 2008: 21-19
Come on in to check out number’s 21 to 19 from this year’s Metal Hammer Critic’s Poll.
21. ENSLAVED
VERTEBRAE
Indie Recordings
“A cohesive and natural step forward for a band unafraid of evolving.”
DAYAL PATTERSON
(October 2008, issue 184, 122 points)
20. MOTÖRHEAD
MOTÖRIZER
SPV
“From the moment Runaround Man kicks this album into high gear, Motörhead’s self-belief is never in doubt. Motörizer is exhilarating proof that after all these years, Motörhead are still the guvnors. This is the best ‘Head album in years.”
MALCOLM DOME
(September 2008, issue 183, 124 points)
19. THE SWORD
GODS OF THE EARTH
Kemado
“A brazenly mammoth-riffed reclamation of stoner rock’s centre ground. Like a huge fried breakfast, you don’t care where it comes from – it clogs the arteries and satisfies on all the most basic of levels. With their new-found fluidity and 70s chops, The Sword have forged a guilty pleasure.”
JONATHAN SELZER
