Megadeth Rust in Peace
Riffs OMFUCKINGG RIFFS m/, this album has them, and as a 15 year old music noob riffs were sorely absent in my istening rotation, I mean sure I had fat Nu-metal guitar riffs found in acts like Korn, Godsmack, or Limp Bizkit and I had wimpy false riffs from bands like Nickleback and Seether. What I lacked was technical fast catchy balls to the wall metal riffs that kicked you in the balls and slit your throat, and Dave you fuckin mastermind you gave them to me. From the very first riff in Holy Wars to the final reprise of Rust in Peace, I was hooked. It might also help that my faveorite thrash song ever and one of my all time favorite songs		5

Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral
What defines brutality in music? Is it low death metal growls? Really fast blast beats? A maze of aggressive thrash riffs? Or could it be an idea portrayed by song lyrics? Trent Reznor proves that he can make emotional and brutal music better than most death metal bands. The concept behind Downward Spiral is one of the more basic themes of human life, the downfall of man to lifes many temptations and how the possibility of an afterlife can have an affect on us. This concept is portrayed perfectly by Nine Inch Nails with such caotic and tortorous songs like Mr. Selfdestruct, March of the Pigs, Eraser, Ruiner, Reptile, and the downward s		5

Soundgarden Superunknown
When I first got this album, I had already been disappointed with their earlier album Badmotorfinger (of course like a month later it would click with me almost as much as this one did) and my 15 year old self was kinda giving Soundgarden one last chance to prove themselves worthy. Man am I glad he did. This album combines the heavy ballbusting riffs of Badmotorfinger with a slightly more accessable songwriting style which would later morph into Down on the Upside. and boy did these combinations make an epic fucking album and one of the best of the 90s. Catchy accessible songs like Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, Let me Drown, and Fell on Blac		5

Black Sabbath Paranoid
These guys started it all, without them who knows what would have happened to the music I love. So that alone should give this release an insta 5 but to top it off every song is amazing. You can also practicly hear a different genre of metal popping out of each song. Best jams:War Pigs, Iron Man, Paranoid, Planet Fuckn' Caravan, Electric Funeral, and Fairies Wear Boots.		5

Korn Korn
Ok so this release gets tons of shit and I get tons of shit for liking it and for having it as a fucking 5. And I can now see why it gets all this bad rep. It's angry at the wimpiest things like bullies and parents "How dare they make me clean up my room...GAH FUCK RAGE!!!!!" The lyrics are plain and sometimes cringe worthy...I mean Faget really? And Jonathons voice is indeed pretty shitty. But still fuck you! As a sixteen year old this was what made it so attractive and relaitable and for a kid who knew nothing about music or metal in general Korn was like a gold mine of testostirone fueled rage. So not only was it my gate way album t		4.5

Deftones Diamond Eyes
This release was huge, not just for me personally but for the band as well. After losing their bassist due to coma from a car crash the Deftones in my opinion release their best lp of there career and my all time favorite CD of 2010 and I guess 2011 too since I was unable to find anything that could surpass. And when looking at it is it any surprise, the deftones perfectly captures what it would be like to lose a member with tracks of absolute anger and not the in your face "FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!! RAAAAAWR" anger of most metal but a sleak contained anger which you might miss when you first hear it. But the more plays you get the more you re		5
