They're not boorish but they're also not metal. I love DEP btw.

I'm not going to try to define any "best ever" metal album. Pointless.

That's debatable, they certainly use metal riffs but the blending of hardcore and metal in the past two decades makes it really tough to distinguish one from the other in certain cases.

I'd say Calculating Infinity era DEP was less metal than say Ire Works era DEP.

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.

Couldn't agree more

I would say mathcore is just as close to metal as grindcore. As a derivative of grindcore it also has a ton of grindcore elements (especially Genghis Tron)

It's too hard. Personal favourites: Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Metallica - ...And Justice For All, Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power, Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction, Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride, Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears, Parkway Drive - Horizons, Mastodon - Leviathan, Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Anthrax - Among the Living, Lamb of God - Sacrament. That's just a start.

i would still maintain Limp Bizkit's first two albums are brilliant

he's a nu-metal d00d, BTW

and i'm just newly discovering nu-metal (metal has slipped off my radar during its heyday)

I like their first three albums as well and picked them up really cheap a couple of years ago.

I may listen to those albums and enjoy them more less out of nostalgia. I like to listen to some of those albums I liked when I was 16 and see which ones hold up as still being as good or sometimes better than I remember. But LB falls into the worse, but good for a laugh catagory.

One I loved just as much is one I mentioned before, "Demanufacture", 16 years later and I still love it as much as I did then.
