fr33convict: Favorite Modern Metal Albums For Production?

fr33convict 02.22.14	List is just some records that I love sonically that I felt made good examples. Mainly I'm just interested in starting a discussion about this for my own curiosity.
Artuma 02.22.14	lateralus
Keyblade 02.22.14	2 had pretty bad production from what I remember. Some favorites: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain Obliteration - Black Death Horizon Gorguts - Colored Sands Opeth - Heritage (not metal I know) Garden of Shadows - Oracle Moon Be'lakor - Stones Reach Warning - Watching from a Distance Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn
Artuma 02.22.14	oh yeah agalloch has some pretty fuckin sweet production work
ScuroFantasma 02.22.14	Carcass - Surgical Steel had some crisp production
manosg 02.22.14	lateralus [2] Monster Magnet - Last Patrol
TheSpaceMan 02.22.14	Lateralus [3] The Mantle The Perfect Element Precambrian Panopticon
tempest-- 02.22.14	yea Wrath's production is shit
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	was about to say good troll list but its fr33convict and hes not a troll so WTF
KILL 02.22.14	there are no gd ones honestly
NightProwler 02.22.14	Lateralus, White Pony, Kvelertak yeah!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	all of which are like, literally not metal at all
dancok 02.22.14	Obliteration!!!! ihihihi
dancok 02.22.14	Black death horizon okk
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	' ihihihi' dont fucking do that
climactic 02.22.14	post-damnation opeth is god tier
hikingmetalpunk 02.22.14	satanic warmaster
NightProwler 02.22.14	"all of which are like, literally not metal at all" Well, agreed on Kvelertak
fr33convict 02.22.14	List was made at 3 am so yeah the choices may not be the best but that's not really the point of why I made the list.
adace1 02.22.14	Devin Townsend - everything
VermTheImpaler 02.22.14	Devin townsend- most of his works with exception of some stuff like devlab Machine Head- the blackening Sonata Arctica- Reckoning Night Theocracy- Mirror of souls ( dude, niggas always forget the power metal) All That Remains-The fall of Ideals All Shall Perish- The price of existence Sylosis- Conlcusion of the age Megadeth-Endgame Nightwish- Once Cynic- Traced in air Enslaved-Isa Stratovarius-Nemesis Ne Olbiviscaris- Portal Of I Slipknot- Vol 3 lol
Keyblade 02.22.14	Eww
VermTheImpaler 02.22.14	Missed tesseract and periphery, production is legit and only niggas who derp deny that
hikingmetalpunk 02.22.14	early darkthrone
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	Everything Meshuggah has released. Guitars are crushing, drums sound tight as fuck, and despite all the naysaying from some, I really dig Jens vocals. Lyrical content is ace as well tho Haake writes most of those. Probably my favorite metal band post 2000
rockandmetaljunkie 02.22.14	1 is overrated
mandan 02.22.14	Cool list.
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	this is like the definition of everything I don't like about metal
fr33convict 02.22.14	Made a couple album substitutions due to my ability to actually think now.
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	lateralus isn't a metal album
ConorIsNotHere 02.22.14	We Lost The Sea - The Quietest Place On Earth
VermTheImpaler 02.22.14	this is like the definition of everything I don't like about metal Keep jamming asap rocky, blink 182 and avicii eric. You're so elite buddy
IronGiant 02.22.14	lateralus [4] really loved converge's "All We Love...", especially how crisp the rhythm section sounded
ResidentNihilist 02.22.14	funebrarum - sleep of morbid dreams; perfect dm production, nuff said devin townsend - by a thread; basically manages to give a live album the production and mix of one of his best studio albums.
RivalSkoomaDealer 02.22.14	Sunbather
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	not sure where you put together a$ap, blink, and avicii lol a$ap's great but the other two are bands that neither of them have an album that tops a 3... just some good singles, like I'm definitely not a fan haha no need to get all defensive for no reason verm c'mon you get shit on enuff
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	5.0 classic Anathema Judgement Between The Buried And Me Colors Devin Townsend Terria Devin Townsend Ocean Machine: Biomech Dream Theater Images and Words Dream Theater Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory In Flames The Jester Race Karnivool Sound Awake Linkin Park Hybrid Theory Muse Origin of Symmetry Nobuo Uematsu Final Fantasy VI: Original Soundtrack Pantera Cowboys from Hell Periphery Periphery II: This Time It's Personal Poison the Well The Opposite of December Porcupine Tree In Absentia Porcupine Tree Stupid Dream Porcupine Tree Anesthetize Queensryche Operation: Mindcrime Sepultura Beneath the Remains SikTh The Trees Are Dead and Dried Out Soilwork The Living Infinite Strapping Young Lad Alien Strapping Young Lad City The Ocean Precambrian Therapy? Troublegum Tool Lateralus Tool Aenima Underoath Define the Great Line
VermTheImpaler 02.22.14	I'm not deffensive, I'm just congratulating you for being so elite and telling you that keep enjoying the stuff that you like buddy, don't take me wrong, sometimes I can agressive but right now I just take it easy. By the way, thanks for posting my 5, I enjoy those albums and most of them had a notorious amount of pros, even hybrid theory and origin of the symmetry which are the weakest right here , the first one has really, really good production and the second is a classic despite of losing a little bit of force in the second half
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	and c'mon I wasn't even saying these were bad...
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	and thank you : ) the new Thou is very good; been jamming that and Harvey Milk and Worship this morning m/
VermTheImpaler 02.22.14	Don't get me wrong eric, I just say I love when people post my 5 and you taste is not bad, beside, 4 or your most listened acts according to last fm are legit as hell
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	(the whole posting-the-5s-thing is 50% a joke; it's an old sputnik meme)
bjorkil 02.22.14	Great list! We pretty much have the same preference. Check out The Ocean - Pelagial. Jens Bogren who produced Watershed also produced that one. Great producer who lives in my town. Soilworks latest is also a great rekord produced by him. Nr. 4 I think All we leave behind sounds much better. Kurt Ballou have become a really good lately.
PistolPete 02.22.14	I really wasn't a fan of 4, that's gotta be one of their worst by far
bloc 02.22.14	1 definitely has some of my favourite sounding drums.
PitchforkArms 02.22.14	Take a listen to In Vain - AEnigma. great production and songwriting
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	eric you are in no position to judge any body elses music taste
BMDrummer 02.22.14	Tool- Lateralus, Aenima Neurosis- Through Silver in Blood, The Eye of Every Storm High on Fire- Blessed Black Wings Isis- Oceania Sleep- Holy Mountain, Dopesmoker Opeth- Blackwater Park Dream Theater- Metropolis Pt. 2 Electric Wizard- Dopethrone, Witchcult Today Kyuss- Blues for the Red Sun, Welcome to Sky Valley 90s to present day
PitchforkArms 02.22.14	Also, Cult of Luna could be the most perfectly executed band of all time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	thats the most preposterous thing ive ever heard
climactic 02.22.14	what does that even mean
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	what the fuck is it with 'metal' fans these days listening to solely post-this and melodic-that being somehow convinced that these modern genres are actually like the highlights of musical history as if things like classic jazz and progressive and blues and classical don't exist not to mention like also all other genres ever that have been around for decades, this baffles me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	they definitely have better execution than the mind blowing free jams of artists like shakti
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	"eric you are in no position to judge any body elses music taste" yes i am
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	Coltrane couldn't execute
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	"yes i am" no you're not cuz your music taste is about as diverse as a mcdonalds in texas
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	"Coltrane couldn't execute" dude miles davis has nothing on the execution prowess of classic bands such as cult of luna and or hatebreed
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	there's no international flower power witch house that's for sure
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	and wouldn't a mcdonald's in texas be a fairly diverse place, racially? texas is home to very many mexicans and african americans as well as dem whites
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	great comeback eric good job setting a new low for yourself has clearly become your biggest goal since avery sent you crying off sputnik 2 years ago
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	Elvin Jones could never execute properly with Coltrane and Miles Davis literally has his skills and reputation executed by bands such as cult of luna and hatebreed. Jamey Jasta executes.
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	potsy confirmed for serious
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	@chemical man john mclaughlin cant execute the guitar as good as even like half of victory records
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	Al di Meola and Paco executed poorly with John on a Friday night in san fran but thankfully we have the transcendental execution of guitarists on victory records to execute in our ear pussies collectively
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	eric confirmed for massive twat, dead serious "execute in our ear pussies collectively" LOL dude that cant be topped
chemicalmarriage 02.22.14	glad you came back to sput potsy. Cheers man
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	many bros were missed hard
Nud 02.22.14	Nattens madrigal
Emim 02.22.14	"1 definitely has some of my favourite sounding drums." This so hard.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	waaaaaaaaat
fr33convict 02.22.14	Damn it guys what happened to this thread
Emim 02.22.14	Eric.
SeaAnemone 02.22.14	sry : (
Emim 02.22.14	no norman no cry
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.22.14	typical sea pretentious bullshit
Emim 02.22.14	fti
Emim 02.22.14	My identity has been revealed.
PitchforkArms 02.23.14	On the end of my comment up there that we were all making fun of, it should of said "when it comes to production". The brittle tension and enveloping atmosphere is produced seamlessly
