I second whoever said Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. Genesis's Foxtrot is ungodly amazing, even if the first half of the record isn't nearly as earth shattering as the second. But overall, where the uplift of the soul is concerned, I'm going with my favorite album ever, Misplaced Childhood by Marillion.
Dark One
The Tainted Dogma

There are others to be sure, but those three albums will always have a place near the top of the plateau of emotions for me. I can rarely make it through them without building up to few tears at some point. There is a difference between favorite albums and albums that "move your soul", those three are on both lists.

lol noone said that GY!BE album.. I said F#A# infinity... although both are equally amazing IMO, I just listen to F# more often.

Zack said:An album that moves my soul? Well, to be honest the best is always, without a doubt, that little fucker you have to wrestle into a corner and beat the shit out of until you like it. Hands down. In addition, a moving album is one that is impossible to listen to in spurts. For me, if I put in a CD that truly does something for me, it's from start to finish. Even if I want to listen to a single track, it's impossible because I fall in love with the CD all over again. Unfortunately, what's moving to me is, for the most part, completey boring to everyone else. However, I'll give it a shot and maybe you'll enjoy these (even though you've probably heard them all)
Insomnium- Since the Day It all Came down
Seriously, these guys are the fucking saviors of melodeath. I picked this up hoping it would keep me busy until Dark Tranquillity put forth new material, but it has surpassed my Gothenburg saviors. Tons of acoustic guitars and the likes.
Insomnium- Disengagement
Alice In Chains- Jar of Flies
Amazing acoustic work. Hey, maybe you haven't heard of it...
Alice In Chains- Rotten Apple
Wintersun- s/t
Side project of Ensiferum front man (now main project) Really rejuvinates melodeath with this release. A ton of great melodies and one of the few bands left in Finland capable of using a slow emotional solo
Wintersun- The Death and the Healing
Wintersun- Beautiful Death
I also hate giving you just one sample of the CD, because these truly deserve to be heard in their entirety. Wow, I guess that's all I can really think of that you might not have heard.
Obvious ones you've probably heard:
Opeth- The Ghost Reveries
Agalloch- The Mantle
Dark Tranquillity- Damage Done
Dark Tranquillity- The Gallery
Summoning- Oath Bound
^Let me know if any of those are unfamiliar
Honorable Mentions-
Insomnium- In the Halls of the Waiting
Really great, but a few weak tracks. Amazing for a debut and as you can see, I think they've improved. Still in my top 10.
In Flames- Soundtrack to Your Escape
What the fuck? Did he seriously just say that? Yes, I did. I like this and I think it's a good release. Everyone thinks I'm a shithead for it, but I think there are quite a few good songs on here, but not enough to make me have a religious experience while listening. Of course, Anders is pretty shitty, but I can still get by.
Also people, it'd probably be a good idea to put a link in your rec's and write a little something about it. After all, these are albums that MOVE YOUR SOUL!!!
Let me know what you think man
Oh, and don't flame me for liking "shitty" stuff.
Haha, this was me reading your post:
"Insomnium....the saviors of melodeath": I've heard this said a thousand times but I'm intrigued, so I consider clicking the link....but then the following catches my eye....
"Wintersun - s/t": :zombie: ...
"Opeth - Ghost Reveries"..... :zombie:
And this was all BEFORE you even got to the In Flames bit. :zombie:
Oh well, I'm not flaming, just observing, but carry on.

I agree with this list, and yet, I wouldn't consider those my favoUrite albums (except maybe for the Empyrium).
I do think there's some distinction between fave albums and those that move your soul.
Just sayin'.
Dark One
The Tainted Dogma

Absolutely, I agree and made this distinction as well. I STILL need to hear that Empyrium though.

Well, as I said, I was trying to only speak for myself. And it happens that the albums which I consider my VERY favourite also happen to "move my soul". But you're right I guess, since other albums which are surely top 20 material don't necessarily.
