Applause

What a thread. All the metal albums I'll ever need. Smile

Check out Cassels...more hard-core though, new band for 3 years or so on the local scene.

But no Mike Patton?

Then again I think we need to file Mike Patton separately from anything else. Lol

"Five Seconds" though...great stuff

I have Fantomas LPs, which meant there was no need to listen to them again at this time Smile

The only one I've failed with so far is King's X - Out of the Silent Planet (1988) which is just dreadful. Thumbd

I've gathered some of these albums in a list of the top metal albums of all time. I am not done yet, and I need to listen to many of the albums, because I have not heard them before.

though I'd switch the Meshuggah LP from Destroy Erase Improve to Nothing (2002) now

Falcon
Meshuggah - I EP (2004) - this 'album' was recorded live in 1 take I believe Falcon

Early Sepultura albums are great (like the first 3) - Arise is best imo.

Early Metallica LP's are also great especially Master of Puppets and And Justice for All

Pig Destroyer?

or

Iron Monkey - Bad Year or 666 Pack, if you like that sort of thing. Personally I love them.
.
Some of these albums should probably not be featured in the list, but are either personal favourites, or influenced me during my youth in the MTV era.
