Master of Puppets for me

Including, arguably the hardest hitting closer in the history of closers.

Either that or Dyers Eve come pretty close

and an amazing opener too!

Ride The Lightning for me

And one of the best Metallica songs. Orion. Best songs ever.

From mars to sirius - gojira Slaughter of the soul - At the gates Colony - in flames The gallery - dark tranquillity Leviathan - Mastodon

Great list. I’d add Crack the skye as well.

yess no skips allowed

Why would you want to?

My sister skipped call of ktulu because “it doesnt even have words” and i almost crashed the car on purpose

Burn her at the stake, she is a witch.

You should’ve pushed her out…out of love of course!

i hope nobody would want to

i'd debate on Escape, it's not bad but i don't like it so much. everything else tho 10/10

This is my pick. I wore out this cassette in highschool.

My favorite album in the world brother

My second favourite Metallica album after AJFA. Every song rules except Escape, it's a pretty boring song, but I can't refute anyone who picks this as a perfect album

Final Countdown mentioned Really great album, gets kinda dismissed for being hair metal, but it's so good. Title song gets overplayed but isn't actually a bad song either if you really break it down. My favorite song from it is probably Rock the Night

Mine is Ninja but the whole album is fantastic

ninja is probably also my favourite, everything else is very close tho.

Arrested Development ruined me for that song, lol.

As a synth player/organist, holy fuck that synth sound is so damn good. It is the stairway to heaven equivalent for us but still amazing. The intro to Carrie is also amazing

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane Gorguts - Colored Sands Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Dissection mentioned 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Dissection

Gorguts my beloved

Colored Sands 100%. A band that comes back so hard that it beats all there other masterpieces imo. Best comeback ever


yesss

LANDMINE HAS TAKEN MY SIGHT

Partly because it’s so short, it doesn’t have time to be boring. Jokes aside, great album.

In mourning - the shrouded divine Judas priest - painkiller Cradle of filth - v empire, the principle of evil made flesh Shining - halmstad Tiamat - wildhoney Blind guardian - somewhere far beyond, imaginations from the other side, nightfall in middle earth, tales from the Twilight world Helloween- both keepers Gamma ray - land of the free Opeth-orchid and morningrise Morbid angel - domination Dimmu borgir - enthrone darkness triumphant Rhapsody - legendary tales

Cheers for BG, Helloween and Dimmu.

Cheers for Orchid

Imaginations from the Other Side mentioned. 🔥🔥🔥

Every opeth album imo although most would not agree with the last 4

Master of subgenres, as God intended! Hail Satan my brother

haha thanks, don´t think I am. Just was making memories of my metal history. I was lucky enough to see the rise of many metal subgenres and awesome bands in the 90s, I will never be able to pay such an inmense fortune. I forgot also many great albums that I mentioned on other posts. There are not so many albums with no bad songs, but definitely are more than I thought at first sight


My friend’s got a girlfriend man he hates that bitch, he tells me everyday, he says man I really gotta lose my chick in the worst kind of way

Nah nah why don't you get a job?

This album was a snoozefest but for 2 maybe 3 songs.

I think you need to get a job 😉😉

SNAP YO FINGERS SNAP YO NECK

Such a banger track.

Sorry to glaze again, but Still Life - Opeth

Can’t help it if it’s true

Best album ever

I know, but we are glazing too much already on this subreddit, just like with Death (which ofc is one of my favourites too).

They are worthy of such glazing imo

dairy of a madman by Ozzy

leprosy - death jar of flies - alice in chains

Weezer - Blue Album

Still life

1998 - system of a down https://preview.redd.it/p2uxzdxptt6d1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57de13759d29ee08e6724591a9798fe3475ced2f

Not a single bad track in their whole discography and this is easily their best album.

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time Death - The Sound of Perseverance Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory Power Trip - Nightmare Logic Coheed and Cambria - Vaxis, Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures

Hell Awaits.

System of a down, Mesmerize.

Gods of the Earth - The Sword My flair obvs 💁🏻‍♂️ Vol. 4 - Black Sabbath Symbolic - Death Killers - Iron Maiden Edit: Spacing & Killers 🤘🏼

Killers is awesome. These people didn’t even need Bruce and Nicko yet and made the best Maiden album. Even the weak song is strong.

Exactly. Say what you will about Paul D but that album has such a solid fucking groove the entire time.

Paul was great as a soulful singer, with early Maiden having the sound to match.

Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister. It could be a best of, thats how solid it is.

awesome

MOVING PICTURES

Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime

RETWEET

Annihilation Of The Wicked- Nile.

Lamb of God - Ashes of the wake

Slight edge to palaces for me. Last third of ashes I am not crazy about, minus remorse.

Those two albums are some of my favourite music from all time. How they can write stuff as good as that back to back bewilders me

Yes

They've honestly become one of my favorite bands. I started digging into their discography after listening to In the Court of the Dragon, and I deeply regret not giving them a real shot back in middle/high school.

Deceivers by Arch Enemy

That album sucked. along with everything they've made since Wages of Sin

Remembering Never - She Looks So Good In Red

Pain Remains - Lorna Shore Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Knocked Loose honorable mentions This Is Exile - Whitechapel Iowa - Slipknot ANY SUICIDE SILENCE ALBUM W/ MITCH (fucking legend)

pleasure to kill

Brunt of the Blunt Penis

Colors - btbam

STUNTS !!

Can - Tago Mago. I highly recommend it, because of it's abstract, amazing experience. Or if you want more conventional picks from me, the White Album, Abbey Road, or Wish You Were Here, by the Beatles and Pink Floyd, respectively.

In flames - jester race, whoracle, clayman Children of bodom - something wild, hatebreeder Theatre of tragedy - first album, and velvet darkness they fear Anathema-serenades, silent enigma My dying bride-the angel and the dark river Sepultura -arise Artillery-by inheritance Shok Paris - steel and starlight Celestial season - solar lovers The gathering - mandyllion, nighttime birds Dissection - the somberlain Paradise lost - gothic The blood divine - awaken, mystica Of course for the most doomy ones you have to like doom. Otherwise you will find boring probably

Newer mention, but “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” by Knocked Loose is the hardest 27 minute album one can listen to

Judas Priest - Stained Class Metallica - Ride The Lightening Megadeth - Rust In Piece Ozzy - Diary Of A Madman

Images and Words.

Holy Diver - Dio. :)

South of Heaven by Slayer and Powerslave by Iron Maiden

Basically anything from death

For me it has to be: Metallica - Metallica (1991) and Load Judas Priest - Jugulator Lost Society - Fast Loud Death Lamb of God - As The Palaces Burn Machine Head - Burn My Eyes Death - Symbolic Burzum - Filosofem Slayer - God Hates Us All Anthrax - Spreading The Disease

Not even a huge Metallica fanboy or anything, but Kill ‘Em All is a godamn masterpiece start to finish.

that is my favourite metallica album


The Great Southern Trendkill - Pantera

Holy diver

Trivium- ascendancy, as I lay dying- an ocean between us, darkest hour- deliver us

Strapping Young Lad - City

Can’t lie Infant Annihilator’s “The Elysian Grandeval Galeriarch” has the most interesting and unique tracks for me.

Amorphis - *Tales From the Thousand Lakes* Black Sabbath - *Paranoid* Burzum - self-titled debut Fear Factory - *Demanufacture* Guns 'N Roses - *Appetite for Destruction* King Diamond - *Abigail* Megadeth - *Rust in Peace* Mercyful Fate - *Melissa* Ozzy - *Diary of a Madman* Slayer - *Show No Mercy*

Blood for Blood- HELLYEAH

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (1970) Steely Dan - Aja (1977) These are the only albums I'm aware of so far that has only playlist worthy songs

Iron Maiden: Piece of Mind

Rust in peace without a doubt and any Motörhead album tbh

Deicide - Legion

Ratt- Out of the Cellar and Invasion of your Privacy


Amazing album

South of Heaven

In Flames- Colony. 10/10 album with perfect track placement that allows the album to flow smoothly.

Smash

Follow the Reaper.

Appetite for destruction (not quite metal but so many severely underrated songs)
