what do you think is the greatest Metal album ever

[kollex]

orginally called what do you think is the greatest Metal album ever

i say Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger.


what do you lot say ?

 

[Hammer of Might]

I'd say something like Seventh Son or Powerslave or Number of the Beast or Somewhere In Time...



Or Painkiller.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Thousand Swords is probably my personal choice. Transilvanian Hunger is good but overated...not very varied, and not as atmospheric as Under A Funeral Moon.I really, really don't like Number of the Beast.

 

[Hell Mike]

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

 

[Henrik Main]

Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse.

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, Enslaved's "Vikingligr Veldi", Under A Funeral Moon and Arcturus' "Aspera Hiems Symfonia" are strong contenders too.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Under A Funeral Moon is the only one of those that is really excellent.

 

[enchanted_nightmare]

Slayer - Reign in Blood

 

[Henrik Main]

Under A Funeral Moon is the only one of those that is really excellent.

No.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Reign in Blood, while being a cool energetic recording, is hardly the wonderful masterpiece everyone hails it to be. In the Nightside Eclipse is just plain irritating. Overuse of keys, poor songwriting, tinny production, annoying vocals. The Arcturus release is cheesy horror-film music with FAR too much synth. The Mayhem and Enslaved releases are decent, if patchy.

Anthems For The Welkin At Dusk

Or not, considering it sucks.

 

[Under a Stone]

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence , no arguement.

 

[Halcyon Dusk]

Or not, considering it sucks.

You're a big fan of crack, aren't you?

BTW Edit: Best Album(s) = MA's Covenant, Empy's Anthems, FNM's Angel Dust

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence , no arguement.

Hooray, a choice I don't have to disagree with.

Oh, and to the girl in the Emperor hoodie, stop being synonymous with the phrase 'has bad taste and is a stupid fuck'.

 

[Under The Oak]

Go ahead and bash me or whatever, but the metal album I can never get enough of is Opeth's "Blackwater Park".

 

[Halcyon Dusk]

Oh, and to the girl in the Emperor hoodie, stop being synonymous with the phrase 'has bad taste and is a stupid fuck'.

Now, now... I know that being a Graveland fanboy means you must be perpetually on the rag, but don't get all hissy just because Rob's battle armor isn't as cool as Ihsahn's.

That was a good one-liner, though.. congrats on that.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

anthems to the welkin at dusk hardly sucks...

best ever? that's too tough to answer!

 

[oneshotendsthiswar]

stop being synonymous with the phrase 'has bad taste and is a stupid fuck'.

i guess my favorite metal album would be Morbid Angel - Gateways To Annhiliation or Nocturnus - Thresholds.... but my favorite album is Neurosis - Sun That Never Sets, but a great deal of it isn't even metal
