No we're not shitheads.

I would rather be elitist about many genres and not just one personally.

Embracethedeath 02-07-2009 08:34 AM

Yeah thats pretty much my downfall as a music elitist. I only know about metal.

3. Ride the Lightening - Metallica
4. Houdini - Melvins
5. Inhaler - Tad

Okay, 4 and 5 are grunge/metal. There's still metal in them.

almauro 02-16-2009 02:03 PM

I was speaking in gest, however most musical snobs, and I do consider myself snobby at times, have the notion, that bands that are overly hyped and popular can in no way be good. It's basically a slight at the popular masses who consume music only because they think it's good based on WoM or sales totals, or chart rankings, but know very little in regards to the quality of music they're listening to. My point is that on occasion, over hyped bands like Opeth and Megadeth, actually deserve the props. I also consider, RIP one of the top three thrash records ever, but in this case...I ain't being elitist.

Yumdubaby 02-16-2009 03:23 PM

i guess when it comes to this glam/thrash metal stuff
Edguy- hellfire club
Edguy- Rocket ride
Ratt- the one with round and round
soundgarden- black hole sun

Lost_At_22 02-20-2009 11:19 AM

1. Maiden - Number Of The Beast
2. AC/DC - If You Want Blood
3. Ministry - Psalm 69
4. Life Of Agony - River Runs Red
5. Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

crash_override 02-20-2009 10:50 PM

1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave

This is one of the most prominent metal bands of all time, and this album found them in their prime. Personal Fav.

2. Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Classic.

3. White Zombie - La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol. 1

Great 90's metal, crunchy riffs, driving bass, ass kickin' drums, and Rob Zombie when he was still great.

4. Metallica - And Justice for All...

Not my favorite band, and I certainly have ZERO respect for these induviduals, but this album is great.

5. Opeth - My arms, Your Hearse

Great album that defines the metal sound of the time.

the agonist - once only imagined
devildriver - these last kind words

lamb of god - sacrament
pantera - reinventing the steel

I liked Sacrament too. Not as much as their earlier stuff but WAY more than their newest one, Wrath, which just sounds like a generic poop of noise.

I like this analysis. lol.

Alfred 02-27-2009 10:19 PM

It's a very disturbing album cover, I'll say that.

It's a very distrubing album as well.

scottsy 03-01-2009 07:46 PM

Isn't that meant to be the best kind of metal though - that which disturbs one? You guys are making me intrigued, thats for sure!

Megadead2 03-02-2009 03:48 PM

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.

LoathsomePete 03-18-2009 06:34 PM

This is in no particular order:

1. Deliverance - Opeth
2. City - Strapping Young Lad
3. The Arrival - Hypocrisy
4. The Politics of Ecstasy - Nevermore
5. Light of Day, Day of Darkness - Green Carnation

Cynic Focus
http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Cyn-Focus.jpg

sorry for the double post, i could only put 4 images a post

Midi 03-21-2009 12:40 PM

@Antonio,
Aside from the Pantera album, which I've yet to listen to, all the albums in your list are beyond amazing. Cynic progressive elements are inspiring, Between the Buried and Me's combination of cacophony and a more mellow sound makes it a very fun album and anything Mastodon does with their fluid experimental works is bound to amaze!

The Cat 03-21-2009 01:10 PM

IMO:
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Sepultura - Schizophrenia
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Death Angel - The Ultraviolence

For that pure nostaligia kick that takes me straight back...what an album

Iron Maiden - Live After Death
