Ranking Other People's 5s : Fearthyevil9
I do not claim to have listened to all of the albums I will rank, nor do I claim that I'm unbiased. This is purely self-indulgent. |
| 1 |  | Rush
Moving Pictures
No-brainer |
| 2 |  | Isis
Oceanic
Surprising to see someone with this and not Panopticon as a 5, but this album is perfect. |
| 3 |  | Megadeth
Rust In Peace
best of the big 4 |
| 4 |  | Iron Maiden
Powerslave
and thus ends our shared 5's |
| 5 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
This and TSiB was a huge toss up, I find this one easier to just throw on. |
| 6 |  | Neurosis
Through Silver in Blood |
| 7 |  | Tool
Lateralus
Used to be a 5 for me, but it waned a but over time. |
| 8 |  | Metallica
Ride The Lightning
Would've picked Master of Puppets, but the choice is noble anyway |
| 9 |  | The Ocean
Precambrian
Superb freaking album, and it's the only time I've ever really been entertained by Kevin Spacey (meaning I don't remember that I've ever seen any of his movies... the sample is awesome) |
| 10 |  | Death
Symbolic
Whatever we do, wherever we go, someone has this as a 5 |
| 11 |  | Deafheaven
Sunbather
I remember buying this because if the kickass cover, good choice on my part |
| 12 |  | Cult of Luna
Somewhere Along the Highway
I think their best is between Salvation and Eternal Kingdom, but SAtH is definitely a great #3 |
| 13 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada |
| 14 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
F#A# (Infinity)
2 stellar albums, not quite 5's for me |
| 15 |  | Black Sabbath
Paranoid
I still haven't rated this myself, even though I've heard it a million times, it'll probably be a 4.5-5 |
| 16 |  | Porcupine Tree
Fear of a Blank Planet
Alex Lifeson's solo on "Anesthetize" alone makes it worthy of praise |
| 17 |  | Amia Venera Landscape
The Long Procession
The only music I've got from Italy |
| 18 |  | Tool
Aenima
This one's overrated to me at an average 4.4, but it's still kickass |
| 19 |  | Rage Against The Machine
Rage Against The Machine
I wonder if they could take Tom Morello's dignity back after his shit collaborations with Boots Riley and Bruce Springsteen |
| 20 |  | Death
Human
THIS BEGINS EVERYTHING I'VE NOT HEARD
This was the beginning of their best album covers, and apparently best albums as well |
| 21 |  | Pig Destroyer
Terrifyer
Best cover besides Phantom Limb |
| 22 |  | Brand New
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me
See my description on Lyzak's list |
| 23 |  | Deftones
Diamond Eyes
Love Chino's work in Palms, and Minerva is nostalgic for me, but that song isn't on this so, #23. |
| 24 |  | Down
NOLA
Never heard anything from these guys, but I love Pantera so I'll root for Anselmo |
| 25 |  | Botch
We Are The Romans
Never heard Botch either, but they were on Hydra Head. thumbs up for that. |
| 26 |  | Alice In Chains
Dirt
This band isn't offensive to me in any way, but they just don't stand out for me, even with some really good songs under their belt. |
| 27 |  | Between The Buried And Me
Colors
UNTIL #40 NO DESCRIPTIONS OR TRUE ORDER B/C I REALLY HAVE NO OPINION ON THESE BANDS |
