I don’t recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10… whatever’s easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.
It’ll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone’s catalog is better, etc.
I’ll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.
Between The Buried and Me - Colors
Mr. Bungle - California
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
The Dear Hunter - Act III
The Dear Hunter - Act II
Eyedea & Abilities - First Born
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
The Ocean - Pelagial
Sleep Token - This Place Will Become Your Tomb
Edit: I didn’t realize this was a metal community post. I just responded for my all time top 10.
If I am focusing on metal, I remove dear hunter, porcupine tree, bungle, and sleep token.
I add both Necrophagist albums, Nobembre’s ‘Everasia’, Animals as leaders self-titled, Opeth’s Still Life, and At The Gates slaughter of the soul…
Between The Buried and Me - Colors (2007) [Progressive Metalcore]
Opeth - Blackwater Park (2001) [Progressive Death Metal]
Necrophagist - Epitaph (2004) [Technical Death Metal]
Novembre - Everasia (2002) [Progressive Death/Doom Metal]
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction (1999) [Technical Death Metal]
The Ocean - Pelagial (2013) [Progressive Metal]
Animals as Leaders - Self-titled (2009) [Progressive Metal/Djent]
Opeth - Still Life (1999) [Progressive Death Metal]
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul (1995) [Melodic Death Metal]
Darkest Hour - Deliver Us (2007) [Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore]
I don’t know about the other artists, but why remove Mr Bungle? In my opinion they’re metal af!
California isn’t! Lol. I mean there’s heavy parts of air conditioned night are and goodbye sober day but all in all, it’s a pretty bright album.
