Top 10 all-time favourite Metal albums 2.0

[crimsonfloyd]

Peace Sells' opening is classic and the entire song sounds like nothing else, basically the definitive Mustaine-rant song, how can a bass line be "painfully dated"?

I have no interest in talking about music with you. You can ask me questions, but don't expect replies.

Peace Sells is far, and i mean faaaaaaar from being one of Megadeths best songs.

And Moving Pictures definitely has some heavy moments, but metal? nah.

Peace Sells sounds like a metal album to me..Megawank at their peak , while without Friedman RIP is bad(not good) bass, clicky drums , whiny vocals and processed, processed riffs from that old lovejoy the walkman. or whatever it was

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Was anyone questioning whether or not Peace Sells is metal?

It's probably at least a top 25 Megadeth song. I would only put 4 tracks from KIMB, 5 from Peace Sells, 1 from SFSGSW, and 3 from RIP comfortably above it. But whether or not you or anyone else consider it a favorite or hot garbage, calling it "dated" makes no sense. crimsonfloyd likes to throw around buzzwords and broad statements concerning every specific facet of a given song even when in reality his opinions can usually be boiled down to "I don't like it".

Nobody is questioning that album, but rather Moving Pictures by Rush.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Anthem and The Temples of Syrinx are their only metal songs probably

note to self...try not to comment on forums when drunk and high

 

[CiG]

Nah do it more often.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I've logged on to my computer many a time the day after being drunk and high to find half-finished rambling nonsensical posts that I'm thankful I didn't submit

I only did this last month, but I need to make some edits. I'm gonna limit it to one album per band this time, because it's tempting to have only 3-4 bands in the list, which is boring.

1. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2. Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
3. Metallica - Master of Puppets
4. Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
5. Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
   
6. Dream Theater - Images and Words
   
7. Therion - Deggial
8. Bathory - Hammerheart
9. Ministry - Animositisomina
   
10. Opeth - Blackwater Park

Honorable mentions that are metal-ish but probably shouldn't be on a "true" metal list:

• Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey (better than Animositisomina imo)
• Alice in Chains - Dirt
• Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

1. Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
2. Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead
3. Gammacide - Victims of Science
4. Coroner - Mental Vortex
5. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
6. Martyr - Hopeless Hopes
7. Voivod - Dimension Hatröss
8. Invocator - Excursion Demise
9. Anacrusis - Suffering Hour
10. Vektor - Outer Isolation

Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead
Coroner - Mental Vortex
Voïvod - Dimension Hatröss

Sorry to necro, but it beats making a whole new thread.

Took the time today and put together a much more readable and thought out top 100 albums list on RYM

Re: new Burzum topping old Burzum- the old albums had maybe 1-2 masterpiece songs per album, but the new stuff is so much more consistent with less filler- at least before he went off the rails after Umskiptar. Also wanted to add Clutch since they're one of my favorite bands overall, but with no one amazing album. So many perfect tracks scattered around their discography...

Love ya for Clutch, but they have amazing albums. Earth Rocker, the self titled, and Blast Tyrant are definitely the ones I'd recommend to everyone with 'incredible' label.

 

[Umodian]

1. Black Sabbath - Sabotage
2. Slayer - South of Heaven
3. High on Fire - De Vermiis Mysteriis
4. Judas Priest - Sin After Sin
5. Mercyful Fate - Melissa
6. Voivod - Nothingface
7. Holocaust - Hypnosis of Birds
8. Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead
9. Sabbat - The Dwelling
10. Mastodon - Blood Mountain

 

[Bloopy]

5. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
6. Budgie - Never Turn Your Back on a Friend
7. Metallica - Reload
