Dillinger Escape Plan & Genghis Tron are metal? They sound just like more boorish new hardcore to me.

I'm just gonna go with a best metal album thing for each time period since it's hard as **** to just narrow it down to one album.

1970-1974: Black Sabbath - Master of Reality (Heavy as **** for it's time, plus fun as hell to listen to high. XD)
1975-1979: Judas Priest - Stained Class (the inspiration for most, if not all thrash metal)
1980-1984: I'll have to go with Iron Maiden - Piece of Time simply for the fact that it's epic, melodic, and fun.
1985-1989: this requires effort since there's so much to choose from. I'll go with the massively underrated Pantera - Power Metal since you get the best from traditional/glam/speed/thrash metal all into one fun ass album. I'm also going with Exodus - Bonded By Blood, Overkill - Years of Decay, Megadeth - Peace Sells, and Guns & Roses - Appetite For Destruction
1990-1994: This is also a toss up between Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Judas Priest - Painkiller, Artillery - By Inheritance, Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power, and Korn - s/t for kick starting my flavor of the week when it comes to music, nu metal. =)
1995-1999: Hard to decide, I like Acidbath - Pagan Terrioism Tactics (a good stoner/doom metal album), In Flames - The Jester Race, Sevendust - Home, Korn - Follow the Leader (say what you want about Korn, but their music kicks ass if you're into nu metal)
2000-2004: (the mallcore kid in me just ****ed in his pants thinking about this list, =P)
Drowning Pool - Sinner, Ill Nino - Revolution and Confession, Sevendust - Seasons, Disturbed - The Sickness, Spineshank - The Height of Callousness, and Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish & the Hotdog Flavored Water ($5 says that every metal fan on this forum is gonna trash me listing this, but I don't give a **** what any of em think, this album is fun as **** to jam out to high as **** while blasting it in the car with friends! XD)
2005-2009: No contest here, because Disturbed is just simply "Indestructible".
2010- : There really isn't enough I listened to give a fair decision yet, and I'll leave it at that, however White Wizzard's Over the Top is pretty hot, and it looks like their trying to kick start a traditonal heavy metal revival. I wish them luck.

...........................................Limp Bizkit?

Definitely. They both play the crossover genre "mathcore", but that's more of a metal genre than it is a hardcore genre. And neither are "boorish"... or generic.

Boorish would indicate that they are incompetent musicians, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Might as well just pass it up and go with "Demanufacture" by Fear Factory if you wanna go that route. "Demanufacture" is better than anything Machine Head did. I will always say Machine Head are the best Fear Factory tribute band going though. Especially on "Burn My Eyes". Fear Factory have much much emulated since, Static X is a poor mans Fear Factory as well.

But for best metal album of all-time... I do not know if I could pick one. So many great ones. Would have to put some serious thought into it.

"No More tears" by Ozzy Osbourne is a must own by all metal/music enthusiast.

After all the bad reviews Zakk Wylde received through the years by critics..
