[Yngvai X]

Yea no kidding.... Thats a shitload.

Well, I could name just as many, if not more that I think are amazing albums, but it'd be extremely tough to condense it to like...top 10 or 5.

 

[Taliwakker]

Where do you stop...?

Yeah, I once had this album and the other songs are good too, I really like the acoustic intro to that 21 minute song.

Strapping Young Lad - Alien

Album of the year so far....how good is Shitstorm and Love....still not as good as City though

 

[TotenMitMacht]

Shitstorm....

I was a shitstorm once

 

[Beelzebub]

I loved City. Alien isn't as good though. They played Shitstorm when I saw them in concert last Sunday.

 

[karelrulez]

I heard Alien before I heard City, and I really think Alien is far superior. The two albums have a similar vibe, but the first one has really cool background chants going on, which really does it for me.
