When will people learn, Agalloch is not like early Opeth, Agalloch is like early Ulver.
Heavy Metal Samurai, I agree with you in that the nu-metal mallcore stuff is average at best, but I think that you are, in turn, throwing the word "masterpiece" around too easily.
I like all those CDs on your list, but I would only dub the term "masterpiece" to Agalloch's The Mantle, and to Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind.
So what if I like a variety of Metal, the power metal fans will think the death Metal is stupid and the death metal fans will think the power metal is gay, but at the end of the day so what.
Sorry, but ManOwaR are the epitome of Cheese-filled Power Metal and Kings of Metal is probably their finest album.
I could have went with "Like An Everflowing Stream" for Dismember but that would be predictable, and besides I prefer "Death Metal"
Burnt Offerings is Iced Earth's best album. End of. Even if Jon hates it I think it's the best work, so fucking dark.
Amon Amarth, that is without doubt one of the only CD's I can listen to without skipping a single track, half an hour of Swedish Death Metal and every track kills.
Nevermore, this is another one, every track on Dead Heart... is amazing, I agree their style is not for everyone but if you like it, this album is beyond words.
Anyway, I could go forever about Great CD's but I won't.
If you understand you don't need to be told, if you need to be told you could never understand.
