Perfect Metal Albums?

[hibernal_dream]

TRITSIO automatically loses because of the amateurish violin playing on the first track.

There is not yet any metal album that deserves 10/10. Not even close, really.

 

[Son of Evil]

Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera.

Can't get any better than this, atleast for me.

 

[DarkBliss]

Varathron's His Majesty at the Swamp and Cadaver's In Pains are as close as it comes to perfect. The rest are just striving to get there.

 

[Zephyrus]

Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

 

[stitches2990]

Deathspell Omega - SMRC and Behemoth Zos Kia Cultus are flawless im my opinion

 

[Zephyrus]

I can cetainly see SMRC as being perfect from an objective standpoint. I'm still digesting it though.

 

[Personified Hatred]

Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon (the Black Metal essence)
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Slayer - Reign In Blood

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Judas Priest- Defenders of the Faith.

 

[Dän]

that's cool, I just can't believe that he would bash me for my music taste in liking (early) necrophagist, when he listens to killswitch engage and cradle of filth



reign in blood is awesome all the way through, it's very close to perfect for me, but the solos get really irritating sometimes

Necrophagist are awesome, while I dont think any of their ablums are perfect, they are one of the best death bands going around. I enjoy early cradle as well, mainly Dusk and Pricipals... Neither of which are perfect either.

 

[CF87]

Amorphis-tales from the thousand lakes,the kareklian isthmus,eclipse
Katatonia-brave murder day
Agalloch-ashes against the grain
Evoken-embrace the emptiness
Opeth-my arms, your hearse
Sentenced-north from here
Diabolical Masquerade-nightwork
Bloodbath-resurrection through carnage
Dissection-storm of the lights bane
God Macabre-the winterlong
Demigod-slumber of sullen eyes
Adramelech-psychostasia(original version)
Enslaved-ruun
Satyricon-the shadowthrone

 

[MasterOLightning]

I wouldn't give any metal album I've heard a perfect score. The one that comes closest is Forgotten Legends.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Possessed - Seven Churches is pretty damn close to perfect

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Extreme - Extreme. Every song is pure gold.

 

[CF87]

Extreme - Extreme. Every song is pure gold.

Is it Extreme ?

 

[Belligerent]

Extreme - Extreme. Every song is pure gold.

Yes nuno bettencourt is a pantene pro-v model...was that your point?? You really are all about the hair and fluorescent colors

 

[King Richard]

I enjoy early cradle as well, mainly Dusk and Pricipals... Neither of which are perfect either.

I find Cruelty and Dusk to be their best albums by far. I was hesitant to check them out but Thoth Amon told me "Dude just listen to them!" so I did. And the first time I listened to Dusk I was amazed. The guitar work, drums, melodies and whatnot were all pretty stunning. Vocals took me a few listens to let sink in but I now enjoy them very much as well. But whatever, fact is their earlier shit is great. And people who slam them are idiots.

 

[King Richard]

lol. 'twist of reggae' cracked me up for some reason, but it's true

 

[Astrum]

Okay, here we go...

Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger
Burzum-Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Graveland-Thousand Swords
Immortal-Damned in Black
Avian-From The Depths Of Time
Dissection-The Somberlain
Dissection-Storm Of The Light's Bane
Candlemass-Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
The Crown-Deathrace King
Countess-Heilig Vuur
The Absence-From Your Grave
Dripping-Disentegration of Thought Patterns During A Synthetic Mind Traveling Bliss
Metallica-Ride The Lightning

Took some thought. The first two Emperor albums ae extrodinarily close, but for some reason I decided against including them.

 

[King Richard]

What is it everyone sees in that Graveland album that makes it so good? I dled it a while ago and can't seem to get into it. I sent it to Thoth Amon and he liked it too. Wtf am I missing here?

 

[CF87]

I honesty don't have a problem with cradle of filth. I think people tend to think they are mallcore. One of their new tracks Cemetery and Sundown is excellent.
