| Some Catchy Metal
Some albums with a great focus on catchy riffs and/or choruses. Would love some recommendations! | | 1 |  | Devin Townsend Project
Addicted
If pop-metal is a thing, this is definitely a landmark. Brilliant songwriting and ideas, epic moments, and tons of fun. A song: Addicted! | | 2 |  | Destiny Potato
Lun
Mix some Devin Townsend, Periphery, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta and pop-hooks, and you'll get one of the best metal debut of this year. A song: Love song | | 3 |  | Diablo Swing Orchestra
Pandora's Pinata
Ok, this one might not be entirely metal, but you can't deny it's fucking fun. These guys gather such eclectic influences and melt them into something original and ironic at the same time. A song: Voodoo Mon Amour | | 4 |  | Dream Theater
Awake
Rush meets Iron Maiden meets Pantera. Dark, heavy, catchy, proggy. What did you expect, porn? A song: Lie | | 5 |  | Porcupine Tree
Deadwing
Probably the band's heaviest album along with Fear of a Blank Planet. But there's still lots of rock here. A song: Shallow | | 6 |  | Queensryche
Operation: Mindcrime
One of the best concept albums, and a fucking pillar of prog metal. Pure awesomeness. A song: Revolution Calling. | | 7 |  | Ayreon
The Human Equation
You really can't go wrong with Arjen Lucassen. This two-disc eclectic-rock/metal-opera is one of the most acessible yet diverse albums you'll ever hear. And it's guests? Mikael Akerfeldt, James LaBrie, Devin Townsend, among others. A song: Day Two - Isolation. | | 8 |  | Beyond the Bridge
The Old Man and the Spirit
Well-done prog metal. No chessy or boring clones. This is how to do thing, guys and gals. A song: Triumph of Irreality. | | 9 |  | Symphony X
The Divine Wings of Tragedy
I'm not keen on thrash/power metal, but this just rocks. Heavy, pretentious, technical and damn fun. In other hand, it might have ended up something cheesy and boring. A song: Of Sins and Shadows | | 10 |  | Haken
The Mountain
These British gentlemen are the future of prog metal. A hurricane of fresh air into a dreadful scene. A song: In Memoriam | | 11 |  | The Devin Townsend Band
Accelerated Evolution
Along with Addicted, Devin's most accessible, groovy and catchy album. You will headbang and sing along to the fucking lyrics. A song: Depth Charge | |

Check Sad Wings, Stained Class, and Sin After Sin by them. Their 80's stuff has hard jams too, so you could try British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance or Defenders of the Faith.
Check Painkiller and Killing Machine too. | pedro70512
