Metal Makes Me Happy
Just some of my fave metal albums. Feel free to
comment or offer
thoughts, and remember, these are MY faves, so
don't tell me I'm
wrong or gay for liking such-and-such a band. As
far as I'm aware,
musical preference has no impact on sexuality. | | 1 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Simply blew me away. To me, the best music is that which transports you to
another world, and this beautifully savage masterpiece does that every
single time I listen. | | 2 |  | Scar Symmetry
Holographic Universe
It was close between this and Pitch Black Progress, but HU just edges a
win because the songs are all brilliantly structured and performed, with one
of my fave metal vocalists of all time. | | 3 |  | Soilwork
Natural Born Chaos
I know Soilwork come in for a lot of grief, but I love 'em, and this is my
definite fave. I plan to have No More Angels played at my funeral. | | 4 |  | In Flames
The Jester Race
Again, IF are a band that divide opinion with the directions they've
explored, but Jester is a classic melo-death masterpiece. | | 5 |  | Fear Factory
Obsolete
Yes, Demanufacture is considered their best work, and by god, I love that
album too, but frankly, any album that Edgecrusher appears on is gonna
win love from me. | | 6 | | DevilDriver
The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand
This is an album which quite simply shreds. Dez done good. Who said Coal
Chamber? | | 7 |  | Slipknot
Slipknot
'Uhhh, u liek SlipKnot u iz a FAGGIT!' Shut up. I love this album. And no-one
will ever convince me otherwise. | | 8 |  | Arch Enemy
Doomsday Machine
After the superb Anthems of Rebellion, AE come back with an even better
album, full of catchy riffs, epic solos, and lots of creamy goodness. | | 9 |  | Candlemass
Candlemass
Great for when you don't want your metal played at 170BPM. | | 10 |  | Nevermore
This Godless Endeavor
And you thought the Scandinavians had the monopoly on twin-guitar
shredding epics? | | 11 |  | Lacuna Coil
Unleashed Memories
Ok, I may be stretching the definition of 'metal' here in some people's eyes,
but this is LC's best work in my humble opinion. Cristina's voice at it's best. | | 12 |  | Soilwork
Figure Number Five
Yes, I love it. And I don't care if that's not cool. | | 13 |  | Spineshank
The Height of Callousness
Just remember, from the horror that was nu-metal, there were a few
diamonds in the rough. | | 14 |  | Amorphis
Silent Waters
Just beautiful. | | 15 |  | Children of Bodom
Are You Dead Yet?
Cracking album that doesn't give a flying fuck. | | 16 |  | At The Gates
Slaughter of the Soul
Archetypal melo-death. | | 17 |  | Nightwish
Dark Passion Play
Never really dug NW when they had Tarja whats-her-name squawking up
front, but I really dig this. | | 18 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
Just rammed full of 'Pethy goodness. | | 19 | | Chimaira
Impossibility of Reason
Really, really pissed off - great for defusing a bad mood. | | 20 |  | Dimmu Borgir
Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
The only black metal band I can stand. This album is evil and knows it. | |
TBliss

08.23.09 | props for 5! you i think you meant demanufacture though :P
and 4 is like the best album ever | CerberusLives
08.23.09 | Yeah Phantom, Cerberus is the guardian of Hades :D
And yeah KILL, I did mean DEmanufacture - major typo, I mean Remanufacture had it's charms, but... yeah, my bad :P | CompanionCube
08.23.09 | Uhhh, u liek SlipKnot u iz a FAGGIT! | CerberusLives
08.23.09 | Nice to see some people in support of Slipknot too :) And I know not everyone will agree with my list, and in retrospect, I could have definitely found a better album to put on than Dark Passion Play, but I like Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - I almost put Death Cult Armageddon, I'm sure that woulda riled a few more feathers :P But I like that album too :D | CerberusLives
08.23.09 | Thanks Roach, I will look into Shining :) | Poet
08.23.09 | "I could have definitely found a better album to put on than Dark Passion Play"
Yeah...Once. That's the best NW album. | R6Rider
08.23.09 | just when I was starting to like you Kris, you go ahead and bash one of my fave albums ever, damn you! | UhhKris
08.23.09 | SORRY!
i just hate dimmu borgir. like with a passion. they're so freaking cheesy and try way too hard. | quaazi
08.23.09 | I also agree with the notion "Uhhh, u liek SlipKnot u iz a FAGGIT!" | LeperCon
08.23.09 | 1- I'd replace with Still Life
7- I'd replace with All Hope Is Gone
9- I'd replace with Epicus Doomicus Metallicus or Nightfall
17 is under appreciated.
Good list though | UhhKris
08.23.09 | "7- I'd replace with All Hope Is Gone"
LOLWAT | TNY
08.23.09 | You are [I][B]WRONG[/B][/I] and [I][B]GAY[/B][/I] for liking such and such bands. | LeperCon
08.23.09 | You heard me | XulOnerom
08.23.09 | Sweet list. Completely agree with #17
And list needs Carcass | CerberusLives
08.23.09 | Thanks XulOnerom :) can you recommend a Carcass album to start with? Cheers! | CerberusLives
08.23.09 | I really like All Hope Is Gone as well :) | LeperCon
08.23.09 | I was very into their self-titled album during my nu-metal phase, but I still like it. | FadeToBlack
08.24.09 | Cerberus, for Carcass albums get Symphoies Of Sickness, Necroticism : Descanting The Insalubrious, and Heartwork | Piglet
08.24.09 | I seriously didn't think 16 was that amazinf... but still good list | CerberusLives
08.24.09 | Cheers FadeToBlack, I'll definitely check them out :) | tommycashin1
09.08.09 | Mega props for 10, absolutely crushing band! | shindip
