Hteo da uzmem da nadoknadim šta sam bitno propustio iz prošle godine, ali ne mogu da prolazim kroz ove "top 178 albuma koje sam pustio dvaput dok sam usisavao" liste, pa sam pitao Gemini da mi sažvaka ove tri stranice. Pa evo i ovde, možda pomogne još nekom ko je u istom brodu.

Here is a concise summary of the discussion across all three pages of the thread, focusing on the consensus favorites and the general "YuMetal" verdict for 2025.

The "Consensus" Top Picks

These albums received praise from multiple users and were frequently listed as highlights of the year:

• Amorphis – Borderland: Despite some users joking about their "predictability," this is the most-cited "big name" release. It is widely considered a top-tier album for the year, with users praising its consistency and "hit" factor.

• Coroner – Dissonance Theory: A rare consensus pick for both old-school thrash fans and those seeking something modern. Multiple users noted that it sounds like classic Coroner without feeling dated.

• Acherontas – Nekyia...: Frequently appeared in the lists of the more "underground" focused members (like kuruz and dimmu1) as the standout Black Metal release.

• Šakal – II: The primary domestic (Serbian) success story. Multiple users praised the band for "cleaning up" the scene and delivering an even better experience live than on record.

• Heretoir – Solastalgia: Praised by several members for its atmospheric post-black metal sound, often preferred even over the more famous Harakiri for the Sky.

The "Underground" Gems (High Praise from Power Users)

Several users who listen to hundreds of albums a year (like Grobodan and kuruz) pointed to these as the "true" best of the year:

• Volahn – Popol Vuh: Praised for its unique blend of South American tribal elements and black metal.

• Mortual – Altar of Brutality: Cited as the definitive Death Metal album of the year.

• Ossuary – Abhorrent Worship: A long-awaited release that several users agreed lived up to the massive hype within the death/doom community.

Polarizing & "Disappointing" Releases

The later pages (2 and 3) lean heavily into critiques of major 2025 releases:

• The Stone – Kletva: Generally panned by the local community as a disappointment compared to their earlier work.

• Katatonia: Criticized by several long-time fans for being "uninspired" and their weakest career effort.

• Modern "Hype" (Sleep Token, Spiritbox, etc.): Universally dismissed by the forum's veteran posters as "TikTok metal" or lacklustre mainstream products.

The Final Verdict

The community conclusion is that 2025 was a strong year for technical thrash and avant-garde black metal, but a relatively "boring" or "stale" year for many established legends who failed to innovate. The thread concludes with a debate on "replay value," with users admitting that while they discovered over 1,000 albums, only about 10–15 (led by Amorphis and Coroner) earned more than a few repeat listens.

E da, tačno zaboravio sam najbolje domaće The Stone i Šakal definitivno, Wardruna isto vrh, setiću se još bar 10 imena

Loše ti je ovo AI sažvakao. Coroner jeste odličan, Amorphis se svideo samo Grobu, Heretoir whatever. Daj nas prosvetli šta se sluša van usisavanja. Power metal stop.
