Are these threads really happening?

I'm not sure why this is necessary.

3. Death - Symbolic - (1995)

Many death metal albums have tried to go beyond the genre, many have failed, while many have only partially exceeded. Many have tried to incorporate progressive influences, many have been utterly boring, while many have simply been up their own ass. Few have done both with as much class and sheer awesomeness as Death on this album. If you think death metal's diversity of sound goes from Obituary to Suffocation, then you should check this out. And the riff on the title track... god-like.

Spoiler for Death - Symbolic:

Like I said, if you're not interested don't post. No need to be asking why anything is "necessary". The 1001 albums thread is too filled with indie stuff and stuff I don't know, so I wanted to narrow it down for metal heads and prog heads. Don't see nothin' wrong with that. Nobody's saying you have to participate. Plenty of other threads around.

Wait till you see my "1001 Country Albums you must hear before you die" thread...

4. Satan - Court in the Act - (1983)

This is another great NWOBHM album, and one while popular, hasn't seemed to receive nearly as much attention as their NWOBHM counterparts, even though I think they deserve just as much praise for this album as Iron Maiden got for their 80's releases. Though, they didn't release much else, and changed their name a few times after, so it's understandable how there isn't as large a following of their work. Regardless of that, this album still stands just as strong in my eyes as any of the other NWOBHM's 80's classics.

That comment was more a reaction to all of the threads I saw when I logged in this morning. Would have been better placed in one of the appreciation ones to be fair so I apologise.

Regardless, I don't think this is completely necessary. There's 800+ spaces in the original version, which can be filled with metal albums if you want

That said, I will certainly be taking recs.

Yeah, this is ONLY for metal albums though. No hip-hop, r'n'b or punk here!

I totally get that. And I don't have a problem with this or the prog one, I just don't think it's necessary.

As I said, I was mainly just making a comment on the fact that so many threads seemed to have been made last night.
