unpopular albums that you really like

[S<issors]

Pink Floyd are my favorite band, as well as the band that got me into music, and in my opinion Animals is probably their best release.

The most crap I ever got for a positive review of a cd was Evergrey's Monday Morning Apocalypse

Now that was a release that I loved that seems hated by the metal scene in general.

Agreed. It's one hell of a good album in my opinion. Also fixed your typo of Evergey =P

Also, I don't see the hate for Opeth's Ghost Reveries, Ghost Of Perdition, Reverie\Harlequin Forest and The Baying Of The Hounds are awesome songs, and all the others come under the good-very good range in my opinion.

I agree, GR wasn't the best of their albums, but it was bloody good. I think people hate it because of the mainstream success that it recieved.

not metal, but I'm probably the only person on this board who geniunely likes Discharge.

GR was the first Opeth album I bought. I didn't appreciate it until I saw them live though. Fuck that was a great set.

Yeah seeing Opeth live is an interesting experience. I'm prepared for it like I was going to see a metal performance and I get so much more than that.

I saw some love for them on the Hardcore thread.

I wish I could ressurect that thread but V5 might close it for "NOT BEING METAL"

hardcore and metal are the same, just different hair, as the saying goes...

hehe. yeah, hardcore/punk is thus unpopular. Just don't mess with the Exploited, Barmy Army

Probably not, they're number 43 on my last.fm. I like everything I've heard from them (1977-82 mainly). I seem to remember a lot of people praising Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing in that thread where that guy was arguing that there wasn't much punk influence in thrash as well.

The Exploited

 

[The Ozzman]

The Exploited kicks ass

 

[WhiteRaven]

I think Cracked Tiles and 3:33 by Zug Izland are great albums. Raw and original hard rock. If they weren't associated with a certain group, they'd probably be a lot more successful.
