Greatest Album Ever

[Vegard Pompey]

It may have been a highly influential album, but that doesn't make it the best ever. Actually, there's a lot of garbage in it, in my opinion.

 

[Mort Divine]

In my opinion your opinion is fucking stupid.

 

[Rhombus]

This, for me, is a tie between Rush's Permanent Waves and Sanctuary's Into the Mirror Black.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Those are probably the best non-metal albums that I listen to. I can't say "best metal album". There really isn't a best.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

In my opinion your opinion is fucking stupid.

In my opinion, your lack of understanding for other people's opinions is fucking stupid.

...But I guess that's OK, because we're metalheads, and it's not "metal" to respect other people's opinions.

Everything about Still Life is just amazing. The concept based around Melinda, the flow of the album, it's definitely their masterpiece. Not a dull moment on the whole cd. To this day i've never heard a more emotional and powerful album.

 

[entanglement]

Good call.

 

[Vossyrus]

For me, it's Theatres des Vampires' "Bloody Lunatic Asylum."

London After Midnight's "Psycho Magnet" may be #2.

Absolutely their best and possibly the only one I care about in any capacity.

That album is almost completely filler, Orchid and MAYH are their only worthwhile ones!

You guys better not turn this into another fucking discussion about Opeth albums.

 

[Zephyrus]

 

[Ender Rises]

Opeth is my favorite band and all but not really worthy of being in this discussion.

And there's no way in hell we're going to come to a consensus.

 

[Onder]

Anyways, I couldn't really say what's the best album for me. Too hard to tell. And why should I?

 

[Ender Rises]

Amen. Too much is too much.

 

[waif]

Not sure if I have an all time fav, but the options would be:

Dark Tranquility - The Gallery
Every song is perfect - memorable melodies and vocal lines, a dynamic production, amazing guitar work, great lyrics, great vocals, it never gets boring.

Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
Raw, dark, epic, this is pretty much what black metal should be, in my mind. My first black metal album, it's effectively stopped me from really getting into the genre because I know nothing will ever measure up to it. I never get tired of it. It's so consistent, yet every song is memorable.

In Flames - Lunar Strain/Subterranean
In Flames at their best - the melodies are dark and classical. The vocals are raw and fit the vocals. The overall production is raw and atmospheric. Everything is more or less perfect.

On a serious side note, could you people please fucking give reasons as to why you think said album is the best every made? That's what I want to read/see. Not massive fucking covers of albums that I already know what they look like. This is supposed to be creating interesting discussion on something you seem to connect to on every level possible that puts it above anything else in history.
