Albums that you love, but don't get into anything else from the band

[Blitzkrieg]

I am liking the increased discussion that has been happening here as of late, so I have come up with a new thread. What are some album that people really like, but when it comes to the rest of the bands catalogue, you just don't give much of a fuck? Here is one from me to start off:

Edguy - Hellfire Club - brilliant album, but nothing else in their catalogue even comes close to its awesomeness.

 

[Stonewall]

Hellfire +1. I don't mind some of the other songs I have heard, but nothing that motivates me to buy another album. Their show at the Espy on their second tour here was great fun.

Not much else in my collection falls neatly into this category. Maybe Hate Crew Deathroll by Children of Bodom, although prior releases have a little more interest for me.

 

[Southy]

Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diablo, so fart it is the only album of theirs that I actually enjoy

 

[Stonewall]

I might tentatively add Megadeth - The System Has Failed. Love this album, but of those earlier albums considered classics that I own I have only gotten into a couple of songs from each. Admittedly, I'm not that much into thrash.

 

[Winmar]

You haven't managed to get into Rust In Peace?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

ThR4$H r00lz j00!!

 

[Spiff]

Foo Fighters. The last album is a killer but I don't like the rest of their stuff.

 

[Goreripper]

Foo Fighters have great songs, but patchy albums.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The Colour and the Shape is great, but the only others theirs I own are In Your Honour and the live accoustic one. Have always meant to get the rest, just haven't gotten around to it.

 

[Southy]

Foo Fighters have great songs, but patchy albums.

This, except for the last album, and There is nothing left to Lose, other than those 2 I need to pick through them if they aren't just on for background music

 

[Stonewall]

You haven't managed to get into Rust In Peace?

Again, 3 or 4 tracks I like, but the rest don't grab me. Was like buying a pop album for the singles.

 

[Incarnate]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors.

An amazing prog album, but the rest of their stuff is bland, generic metalcore.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I was just about to say that one Incarnate.

Colours is absolutely one of the albums of the last 5 years for me. Masterpiece.
But, I haven't even checked out the rest of their albums because I can't see myself liking it as much as colours.

Another one I would have to say is Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime.
I got Mindcrime first and loved it. Went and got Empire. Listened to it once. Never again. Got Mindcrime 2.. same result.... Will prob never buy any of the other albums.

 

[Mean Machine]

Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - IV

His voice irritates me, and a lot of his other material is too electronic for my liking. Ghosts has the perfect balance of atmosphere/piano etc, and the electronic side of things.
