When the Kite String Pops
NOTE: AGGREGATE SCORES FROM REVIEWERS. NOT MY OPINION.

Another result of this project, where I collect scores from two dozen review sites/zines for heavy metal albums.

https://sites.google.com/site/tymellsheavymetaluniverse/

I've now entered all info into a big spreadsheet, allowing me to easily sort by band, score, year and/or genre. So now we have these lists of the best of each subgenre.

As with the scores this is based on overall opinion, not mine, so the genres are based on what the reviews say.
