Best debut album ?

[BTK]

What's your fave debut album by a band ?

 

[kollex]

unknown pleasures by joy division

i dont like metal debuts as much as that which follows them i think

metal bands really get in their stride between 7-11 years in existence

 

[Vienyard]

I'd have to say Burn My Eyes from Machine Head or Appetite For Destruction from GnR.

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

Opeth-Orchid
Tool-Opiate (it's an E.P. but still a damn fine debut)
Aerosmith-Aerosmith (still one of my favorite rock albums of all time!)
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin I
Machine Head-Burn My Eyes
Both Dio and Ozzy's debut solo albums, maybe they don't count though since they were both in bands previously!

 

[Immorior]

Kill 'em all (do I have to say whose it is?)
The sectrets of the black arts (Dark Funeral)

 

[Sonnenritter]

Debut EP: Vintersorg - Hedniskhjärtad

Debut LP: Agalloch - Pale Folklore

 

[MURAI]

Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power

Classic album..

 

[Sonnenritter]

MURAI... that isn't their debut album. Actually, I think that's their fifth or sixth album.

 

[svenske kocken]

Iron Maiden - S/T
Opeth - Orchid
The Haunted - S/T
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

Vulgar Display Of Power is an excellent album, but it is by no meas a debut album. Pantera did four (or was it five?) albums before it.

 

[NAD]

Pearl Jam - Ten
Black Sabbath - s/t
King Crimson - In the Court of...
Carcass - Reek of Putrefaction
Tool - Opiate
Napalm Death - Scum
Metallica - Kill 'em All
30 Seconds to Mars - s/t (only decent new group to surface in the past 5 years)
Machinehead - Burn My Eyes

That's all I can think of right now...

Ah yes, and Dissection - Somberlain, thank you Somberlain.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Dissection-The Somberlain
Naglfar-Vittra

 

[LordFireworm]

Primus-Suck On This
The Haunted-S/T]
Nuclear Rabbit-Vicuna
Mr. Bungle-S/T

 

[IcedEarth556]

Skyfire-Timeless Departure
Kalmah-Swamplord
Ensiferum-s/t
Insomnium-In the Halls of Awaiting
Norther-Dreams of Endless War

 

[Disengager]

god was created by vehemence
volume 1 by CKY

 

[Kveldssanger]

Bergtatt by Ulver
HEart Of The Ages by In The Woods
Tears Laid In Earth by The 3rd And The Mortal
A Social Grace by Psychotic Waltz
The Berzerker by The Berzerker

Agreed.

 

[Froz]

Soilwork-steelbath suicide
Ominous-The spectral manifest
Anata-The infernal depth of hatred
Machine head-Burn my eyes
Dark tranquility-Skydancer
Metallica-Kill'em all

 

[~UlvedaL~]

Norther - "Dreams Of Endless War"
Illnath - "Angelic Voices Calling" (A MCD, but hell...)
Naglfar - "Vittra"
Mörk Gryning - "Tusinn År Har Gåt"
Old Man´s Child - "In The Shades Of Life"

+ many more...

 

[Southern Man I Am]

Tool - Opiate
The best debut album ever in my opinion. Most metal bands aren't at their best with their first release.

I couldn't agree more! Both superb albums, but GN'R's album is clearly the best if you ask me!
