     there's actually a fair few of great albums that have come out over the last decade. the late 90's and 00's have struck me as the years "metal" finally grew up and embraced texture, art, expression and individuality that was missing from so much of the "classic" stuff previously
     
     

     
     
     I agree that a lot more good stuff has come out in the last decade than one might realise, but I disagree with your comment that the older stuff didn't have texture/individuality etc. When I listen to 70s and 80s stuff I'm constantly impressed by how much individuality and genuine feeling there is in the music.
     
     
     i was referring more to 80's hair metal and bad thrash more than anything to be honest. the last decade has seen more oblique influences or vibes return to the overall sound. no matter what the era there is always good music but i do feel quite an affinity with the last decade more than the rest. perhaps i should have said it was when "extreme/underground" metal grew up? just as much as i enjoy harsh and grimm BM, brutal grindcore, uber doom and all the other loveliness i'll always enjoy the sounds of krautrock, prog, 70's rock,psychedelia, neo-folk etc etc etc...

     Botch - We Are The Romans
     
     
     
     Came out in Nov '99 so was technically last decade. If we're going by last 10 years then it goes in and I'd second it.
