What's your favorite album in terms of how good the production/mixing is?
Mine would have to be The Poison by BFMV, Colin Richardson's mix is amazing.

hard to narrow it down but I'd probably say Underoath - Lost in the Sound of Seperation. Sounds absolutely massive, I'm a big fan of bass heavy mixes where the guitars and bass blend really well.

I'd have to agree with Lost in the Sound of Separation. It's a tie between that and the new Betraying the Martyrs album that's coming out in September.

If I had to pick a single one it would have to be Tron: Legacy.
Listening to 'Lost in the Sound of Separation' for the first time now. Is this a Bendeth production? Sounds like it has the same kick and snare he's used on everything I've ever heard by him. Also really overcompressed and fatiguing to listen to, which is generally another giveaway. And the guitars seem to have 20dB more 400hz than everything else, which is usually another one.

Probably not gonna be a terribly popular pick here but Ashes of the Wake never fails to make me say "Damn that sounds good"
Charlez
Carlos Rosa
I think my favorite is Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra
and Ermz you are right, Bendeth indeed mixed Lost in the Sound of Separation

Can't really pick one out of all genres, so may as well comment on some of the ones mentioned so far haha.
Surprised to see so much love for the Underoath album.
Gives me a headache listening to that. Everything is just so forced upfront that it loses half the punch and power.
It sounds good initially, but after a few minutes you begin to realize it's not that great.
Has some decent sounding bass guitar tone, but that's it really.
The latest Underoath record sounds WAY better, but musically even more boring.
Same with Paramore's "Riot!" record. Sounds good initially, but just doesn't compare all that well to many other heavy guitar based records out there and has a somewhat lifeless sound to it, although it's not as over compressed and smushed sounding as the Underoath album.
At least as far as metal goes, "The Way of All Flesh" is probably my favorite.
It isn't as 'technically' good as Stabbing the Drama, but I find it a tad easier to listen too, and well, musically way better anyway

Trivium`s "ascendancy" and "shogun" albums. very balanced.
the two latest in flames if we have to go downtuned, dont get why people hate those? they are organic and real sounding, atleast for polished albums.
old school vibe, creamy and lush.
The absence "enemy Unbound"
guess i like it a bit mellow and fuzzy.
taste vary

Just something about that bass. It's really clunky and it adds a certain edge to the guitars. And theres pretty much zero clipping.

In no particular order :
In Flames - Clayman
Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama
Underoath - Disambiguation
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Opeth - Blackwater Park and Watershed (wouldn't use Watershed as reference though, because of the really washed-out but really vibey mids)
Gojira - The Way of All Flesh
and last but not least, the new Betraying The Martyrs album coming out, hats off to Charles and Phil.
edit : forgot a really important one (to me) : Ion Dissonance - Minus The Herd. Not the best mix technically, but one of the mixes that captures the best a band's vibes.
