what do you think is the greatest Metal album ever

[Oblivious Maximus]

The entire album is magnificent. Beyond epic. I actually rate it on a par with Thousand Swords, although they can't really be compared.

No, they can't be compared. They're both magnificent. I can't decide which one I like better. I'am leaning tward The Chasm, though.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Demilich is hilarious, but shitty music

...What?

 

[SculptedCold]

Haha, that's what I was thinking. =)


greatest metal album ever....pffffff, impossible to even compile a shortlist.

 

[no country for old wainds]

...What?

To answer your question, he listens to Devin Townsend.

 

[Beneath The Remains]

Iron Maiden- Powerslave

 

[megamich]

Iron Maiden - 7th son.../Piece Of Mind
or
Megadeth - Rust In Peace

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

To answer your question, he listens to Devin Townsend.

That answers my question in a total of .3 ways.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Not even Immolation's Close to a World below?

very close.......but no

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

For me it's Vital Remains - Dawn of The Apocalypse or Possessed - Seven Churches or Grand Belial's Key - Mocking The Philanthropist or Destroyer 666 - Unchain The Wolves

 

[Astral Poetry]

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

 

[Chook]

Iron Maiden - First seven albums.

I can't choose one of them as the best, as they all have their flaws. But taken together, they're everything I'm looking for in metal. And they obviously stand the test of time. Except, perhaps, Run To The Hills.

Other possible choices would be To Mega Therion, Hvis lyset tar oss, Thousand Swords, or Close to a World Below.

 

[Life Sucks]

The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph

 

[speed]

It changes all the time, and man I dont think there is just one greatest album. However, Reign in blood is hard to beat, but so are so many other fucking albums.

 

[J.]

For me, no album continues to move me as much as Arcane Sun's self-titled album, so I'll go with that one.

 

[BulletRider]

Watch Them Die- Watch Them Die

 

[Esteban]

Very hard to choose just one, but since Iron Maiden is my favorite band, and IMO Powerslave is their best album, then Powerslave

 

[Focusphere]

Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick : Meaningful Lyrics, solos that sound like demons, the darkest riffs i've ever heard on anything, and intelligent songwriting.

I'd pick Gordian Knots self titled as my favorite overall album though.

 

[Ikuto Hidaka]

Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory. My personal favorite, at least.. Other than that, Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris. Friggin' love it.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

I'll have to say Death - Symbolic. Absolute masterpiece, can't get enough of Chuck.

 

[Terrifyer]
