Alec Ferris Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 This has passed lots of people by, and I haven't actually got a copy, but Absolution did very well indeed if I remember correctly. I'm fairly sure it got into the top ten, though the top spot was taken by Black Sabbath. Does anyone have the article? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have a copy of Kerrang with the 50 best albums of the 21st century. Black Holes got 29th place. Origin got 13th. Absolution got 2nd.

Alec Ferris Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah, this is last week's if I remember correctly. I was in a rush though, so I didn't get any further than them calling Absolution "A very English piece of eccentric brilliance" or words to that effect.

Red Muse Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah I would say Absolution is the most English sounding album.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Haha They got to 20 with Origin. Not sure about the absence of Black Holes in favour of Showbiz, and I think Biffy's last two albums deserved to be in there, but still- result http://www.muzieklijstjes.nl/Kerrang100British.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-man Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 pretty brutal list to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaSarahS Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Black Holes is a better album than Showbiz and was better received by the public. Makes sense. So why is it not on the list? Like Alec said, they chose Showbiz over BHaR. Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clom Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Showbiz is much better than BHAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uccellino Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Showbiz is much better than BHAR. True Showbiz and Muscle Museum are better than anything on BHAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 So why is it not on the list? Like Alec said, they chose Showbiz over BHaR. Doesn't make sense. Oh I thought he said BHAR was on there instead of Showbiz Yeah that doesn't make sense in my opinion. And as for people saying Showbiz is better, it's all personal opinion. To me Showbiz is very undeveloped. It lacks maturity and creativity in places. I still love it though as it's more personal to me than the other albums.

JessicaSarahS Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Ah Cool. I just wanted to get clarity. Personally, I do enjoy Showbiz more. Like you said, it feels more personal. So it's nice to see it recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Ferris Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yours is different. I'd like to see a link to yours. Sounds more recent. Yeah, the "Best of the Century" was late 2009 and was dominated with American bands- if I remember correctly overall Slipknot had the most places in it, trailed by Muse and Mastodon. The list I found was in November this year. Black Sabbath took the top spot, it being Kerrang! after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
