demigod!
05.13.14 | i vote for 1 |
BigPleb
05.13.14 | 1, so hard. |
JS19
05.13.14 | I love how metalcore's 'biggest three' are all fringe metalcore acts cos the genre sucks so bad |
CalculatingInfinity
05.13.14 | 1, no contest. |
JS19
05.13.14 | oh and 3 just |
emester
05.13.14 | 1, by a landslide |
Judio!
05.13.14 | 3 easily. Haven't been able to get into Dillinger yet. |
Wadlez
05.13.14 | two. |
Uranium
05.13.14 | converge hands down |
Gwyn.
05.13.14 | I don't listen to 1 anymore and 2 made too little material so 3 by a lot |
demigod!
05.13.14 | i'm pretty torn tbh, between all 3
but mostly 1 and 3 |
demigod!
05.13.14 | @gwyn should've specified that i'm talkin albums here. in terms of bands Converge wins by a long shot I think |
JokineAugustus
05.13.14 | Sorry. Big 4. |
Uranium
05.13.14 | "I don't listen to 1 anymore"
same gwyn they're just kinda boring after the flash goes away |
demigod!
05.13.14 | i rarely listen to DEP anymore with the exception of calculating infinity because it's a virtually flawless record
so different than the stuff they did after it |
BigPleb
05.13.14 | Erm dude, OP nearly matches Calc hard. |
JS19
05.13.14 | ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
Gwyn.
05.13.14 | I just burnt them out mostly, I listened to them religiously at the beginning of last year but I just kinda tired, but there's other reasons why they grew off me
"@gwyn should've specified that i'm talkin albums here. in terms of bands Converge wins by a long shot I think"
oh right, well I still vouch for 3 although 2's ending (not that hidden song I mean Man the ramparts) is one of the best ever |
RadioSuicide
05.13.14 | 3 for sure. Other two rule tho. |
adr
05.13.14 | Those Who Fear Tomorrow tho |
demigod!
05.13.14 | if i put those who fear no one would vote for it but me ;(
and tbh these are the pinnacles of metalcore's creativity and passion, those who fear was just the beginning. amazing record tho obviously |
JokineAugustus
05.13.14 | WHERE BLOOD AND FIRE BRING REST AND PEACE!!!!!! |
demigod!
05.13.14 | is gr8 but these are on another level sorry :[ |
JokineAugustus
05.13.14 | Meh I disagree obviously, but 1 is in my top 5 albums ever |
Artuma
05.13.14 | converge hands down [2] |
Evreaia
05.13.14 | 1 hasn't been good ever since Miss machine.
2 is fucking awesome.
3 is best though.
3 wins easily. But only because you missed the actual best metalcore band (Poison the well). |
demigod!
05.13.14 | guys remember we're voting for albums here |
adr
05.13.14 | well 3 |
Artuma
05.13.14 | 2 is not even the best botch album imo, even tho it's easily their most influential |
Recreate
05.13.14 | I've always prefered 2. Wishing Until Your Heart Stops was on here instead of Dillinger though. |
SpiritCrusher2
05.13.14 | 3
|
Avagantamos
05.13.14 | knut - challenger

Mort.
05.13.14 | 3

ChuckyTruant
05.13.14 | what trebs said
Controller > all other metalcore
but for these three, Jane Doe |
PitchforkArms
05.13.14 | such a toughie, all are near 5s. 3 for me, 1 is extremely close |
Scoot
05.13.14 | except you're missing the best one |
Trebor.
05.13.14 | I'd take Poison The Well, Shai Hulud, and Zao over DEP too |
Scoot
05.13.14 | tfu PLEBOR |
EJinHD
05.13.14 | 3 |
Scoot
05.13.14 | agreed though my big three are plastic soul impalement, where blood and fire bring rest, the opposite of december |
JS19
05.13.14 | Treb don't speak 'gain cool |
Slut
05.13.14 | 1¹111¹11111¹11111111111 |
demigod!
05.13.14 | tfu is great but id take kiss it goodbye over em anyday |
Slut
05.13.14 | Kiss it goodbye is underrated here I think |
dathvada321
05.13.14 | This isn't the "big 3" of metalcore for me. But 1 is the best album here. |
CrimsonLies
05.13.14 | 2 but there are other contenders to consider. |
Dolving999
05.13.14 | 3 fo shizzle |
NordicMindset
05.13.14 | I posted this in another thread but "The Fall of Ideals is the best metalcore album post Jane Doe"
- Big Pleb. |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | No love for 2? You're all pussies
We Are the Romans is fucking angry |
Diamondize
05.13.14 | Jane Doe |
ti0n
05.13.14 | 1? lol
|
Evreaia
05.13.14 | "plastic soul impalement, where blood and fire bring rest, the opposite of december"
This soooooooo bad, especially the opposite of december. |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | My big three:
Opposite of December
Jhazmyne's Lullaby
We Are the Romans |
WellFedWhiteMale
05.13.14 | Dos! Botch is/was the best. |
wacknizzle
05.13.14 | 2 easily |
demigod!
05.13.14 | "1? lol"
i don't get it! |
SAPoodle
05.13.14 | 3 by a country mile |
Satellite
05.13.14 | 3 > 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1 |
demigod!
05.13.14 | oh come on all three are essential classic amazing etc |
wacknizzle
05.13.14 | C'mon guys, I love all these albums but don't let Botch lose. That album is so groundbreaking and phenomenal. |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | Agreed with wack, plus they went on to form MtB like dude it doesn't get more m/ than getting tired of
m/ing so hard that you say "fuck it, lets go play feel good taps with jesus" |
Satellite
05.13.14 | anthology is better |
Satellite
05.13.14 | dillinger four > dep |
wacknizzle
05.13.14 | Anthology is pretty much the best thing ever, but I love all things Botch dearly |
demigod!
05.13.14 | WATR is def my favourite Botch. few albums have that much raw, heavy force of defiance. anthology's a bit overproduced for what i like out of metalcore but it still rules (obv)
and ugh DEP isnt even the same band now that they were on calc inf, they were just ahead of everyone when they had dimitri. i agree that post-calc DEP isn't super amazing but fuck guys, calculating infinity is a masterpiece |
Gwyn.
05.13.14 | Like I already mentioned I don't listen to Dep anymore but personally I always thought Calc was one of their weakest, I mean yea it's intense and shit and whatever but it doesn't pace itself well, it doesn't seem to be able to give the listener any type of break and being such a samey album with almost no hooks makes it really, really exhausting and by the end just a chore to listen to
It was always good on bursts tho, 43% Burnt was a jam 100% of the time |
MMX
05.13.14 | 1 DEP ALL DAY EVERY DAY
PTES >JD |
demigod!
05.13.14 | it's plenty cohesive i think. plenty of breaks in speed to add to the flow. the title track, that bit in the running board, *#.., all have awesome little ambient bits to them that really brings the album's thematic purpose and concept to a whole new level. |
demigod!
05.13.14 | MMX fuckin knows, and ptes and jd are basically tied for me at this point |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | that's cuz he's a poor man's mx |
MeatSalad
05.13.14 | 3, but
Horse the band - desperate living |
JS19
05.13.14 | shut up |
demigod!
05.13.14 | wouldnt call DL metalcore or put it anywhere near these personally |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | lol htb |
demigod!
05.13.14 | if im gonna listen to a punk band that cites nintendo as an influence it'll be BTMI |
ZilbelPing
05.13.14 | agreed |
FearThyEvil
05.13.14 | 2 for me. |
adr
05.13.14 | I'm with Gwyn on this one. Dillinger have 2 better albums and a better ep! |
slagun
05.13.14 | calculating infinity |
JustinKing
05.13.14 | 3 for me, as though that were a surprise. |
Snake.
05.13.14 | 1 but it's not really metalcore. |
NeroCorleone80
05.13.14 | Those Who Fear Tomorrow, Fixation on a Co-worker and Destroy the Machines should be the big 3 |
Ryus
05.13.14 | Absolutely Calculating Infinity |
demigod!
05.13.14 | lol destroy the machines doesn't come close to any of these |
GnarlyShillelagh
05.13.14 | 3
1&2 |
NeroCorleone80
05.13.14 | I dont really dig much metalcore after 97 |
Thibs

demigod!
05.15.14 | somebody count |
JokineAugustus
05.15.14 | Origo, Axe To Fall and An Anthology of Dead Ends would be my 3, if I'm not using just Dillinger and Zao albums. |
Motiv3
05.15.14 | 1 without a single doubt.
If I were to rank:
1 > 3 >2 |
mandan
05.15.14 | Haven't heard 2 or 3, so can't vote. |
