Cliche, but damn good. Ride the lightning is also one of my favvi's


    Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
    Melodic, brutal, beautiful. My perfect metal album. 8)
    Christian Alvestam drew me to the band - one of the best (metal) singers I've ever heard.

      YES!!!

      Honestly, anything by the Ramm! ?
        "Metal" is kind of a broad category! There's lots I love and don't listen to anymore like "Ride The Lightning". But here's some metalish albums that I turn to regularly:


        ST: best skate thrash ever and breeding ground of Rob Trujillo. This album is slightly more metal and FULL of brilliant tunes.


        Most people would choose FNM's "Angel Dust" but for me, "King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime" is a schizophrenic masterpiece.


        Clutch's "Blast Tyrant". There are no words. Utter brilliance.

          This is what started it all



            Mine would have to be:

            SLIPKNOT: ALL HOPE IS GONE




            DIMMU BORGIR: IN SORTE DIABOLI



            OPETH: GHOST REVERIES



            BLOODBATH: FATHOMLESS MASTERY



            STONE SOUR: AUDIO SECRECY



            CRADLE OF FILTH: DARKLY, DARKLY, VENUS AVERSA




            KORN: KORN III REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE



            WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER: DER TAG AN DEM DIE WELT UNTERGING



            SLAYER: GOD HATES US ALL



            VENOM: BLACK METAL



              not listening to so much metal nowadays...


              lamb of god - as the palaces burn.. raw and brilliant


              Electric Wizard - Dopethrone.. tied with the new album as my favourite Wizard album


              All Shall Perish - Hate Malice Revenge... i know it's much cooler to hate core nowadays but when it's done well it's good, and it doesn't get done better than this


              Devildriver - the fury of our maker's hand... in retrospect probably not an amazing album but at the time it's what REALLY got me into listening metal
                My fave's (not sure if they all fit under the title)

















                  The album that inspired me to start playing guitar.



                  I can listen to this album from start to finish



                  Dunno if this counts, it's the only SOAD album I like, the others were meh



                  I liked this when it came out, not really a Deftones fan anymore



                  Played this album to death when I was a lightie



                  That's all off the top of my head

                    Seriously. Instrumental, technical yet musical. Oh, and 8 strings ?
                      One thing you can say that metal cds have awesome album art ?
