Albums currently kicking your ass

[CiG]

Alice strikes again, boa constrictor, black makeup, long hair, leather jacket, loud guitars, rock and roll, spooky themes, gruesome lyrics, and all. Remember the Coop, baby!

I hate this album cover so much, but I still plan to check this out.

I hate this album cover so much, but I still plan to check this out.

Good cover art is nice, but doesn't mean too much. Case in point, Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier had gnarly ass cover art, but blew diabetic porcupine dingus through an iron lung feeding tube.

I will never understand why this album is widely dismissed as mediocre, it is so blatantly fantastic to me. It flags a bit in the middle with Fast to Madness/Hall of the King and the Barbara Ann cover is an abomination, but other than that it's a 10/10. Banish From Sanctuary is basically the best song ever, Damned for All Time/title track/Beyond the Ice/Valhalla are all amazing.

That SDG album is so good. I'm just a bit annoyed that the Obtained Enslavement cover and the final track drag it down a bit. The cover isn't bad, but totally unnecessary and the final track is just a bit bland.

While I believe that Somewhere Far Beyond is the triumphant pinnacle of their power/speed era, that album is impeccably written and easily second best.

More people need to hear this album. Top-tier Manilla Road.

Yeah, was going to point this out. While I love Follow the Blind, I think Spiral Castle is just as overlooked (by fans of each band, obv BG is generally more liked).
