Arranged alphabetically by artist, because if I tried to rank them I would never be able to decide:
Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale
Meshuggah - Catch 33
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood
Tool - Lateralus
Aside from MoP, which was the album that got me (and countless others) into metal and therefore enjoys a personal bias from me, my faves tend to focus more on the atmospheric, recent strains of metal, as opposed to the older, riffs-and-solos-oriented variants.
