The AV Club's Best Albums of the Decade List
Damnable Fiend:
The problem I have with lists of metal albums compiled by erm, hipsters, is that the people who are making the lists just don't seem to listen to very much metal. It seems like every time, you're going to end up with a list of trendy stoner doom bands (not that there's anything wrong with stoner doom but it seems to be the only metal subgenre these people like), and a few random super obscure albums out of left field to make it seem like "no we really did do some research on this".
Also, I agree on Mastodon, I've tried to listen to them multiple times, and something about them just makes me zone out and almost fall asleep. A few minutes later I'll snap out of it long enough to realize that the music is still as boring as it was before, and change the song to something more interesting (like say, High on Fire)
Dimmukane:
Yeah, to be honest this was surprisingly lacking in good metal albums, even those that are typically deified by the hipster press. I would've at least expected mention of Wolves in the Throne Room at some point, maybe Arcturus or something, but yeah, this was a lot more stoner-oriented than anything else.
Be My Head:
Any list of good metal from this decade that doesn't include "La Sanie des siècles - Panégyrique de la dégénérescence" is a failure in my opinion.
Damnable Fiend:
I'm always hesitant to put the label "greatest of so-and-so" on anything, but if it were me I'd have out these albums on there.

Man I can't even imagine high hipsters.
