| Best Albums Of Decade
The albums I've most enjoyed from this decade...
[I've only chosen at most one from each artist]
Honorable mention to Dream theater- Octavium which jsut missed
out. | | 1 |  | Mastodon
Crack The Skye
This album is just plain awesome. I really didn't know how they were going to follow on from such good
albums as Leviathan and Blood Mountain, but despite a complete change of direction, mastodon have
pulled
off something special here. The technical guitars and complex song structures add a whole new
dimension
to the album. | | 2 |  | System Of A Down
Toxicity
Probably their best album, although if their debut was released this decade I may have had to think a
bit harder. This
album is made by Serj's vocals however, which is proved by side project scar's on broadway ( they're just
no
comparison to SOAD). His vocals range from screamnig/growling to melodic choruses and other noises
that don't sound
like they are being made by a man at all. Such a powerful album in terms of its lyrics as well, songs
carrying a true
meaning as well as hit singles 'Chop Suey' and 'Toxicity.' I need to see SOAD live!!!! | | 3 |  | Machine Head
The Blackening
What can I say about this album! It's a brutal riff-fest which must be witnessed live. Halo is just an epic
and the whole
album is filled with huge choruses and riffs. An honorable mention goes to 'Through the ashes of
empires' but it isn't quite
there. 'The Blackening' really does have everything you look for in a metal album. | | 4 |  | Metallica
Death magnetic
This album got me into into Metallica, and the terrible production aside this album really is better than
most people give it credit for.
Although not up with 'ride the lightening' or 'Master of puppets,' which is no mean feat, Metallica have
returned to form with this
one. 'The Judas Kiss' being one of the highlights as Metallic return to their roots. | | 5 | | NIN
With Teeth
This album has been played so many times on my ipod, and so it has to make my list. I don't know why
I like it so much, but it is so
catchy and has some amazing moments from an emotional Trent, just amazing. | | 6 | | Muse
Origins Of Symmetry
Definitely their best album to date, this album is truly spectacular. From the riff in 'plug in baby' to the
amazing vocals in 'micro cuts' this album
really caught my eye. The whole album is consistently good witha couple of standouts as well, such as
'hyper music' | | 7 |  | Killswitch Engage
As Daylight Dies
It was very hard to pick between albums as they are all great, if not a bit similar. My preference of
Howard Jones to Jesse may not be
the most consented view, however his vocals on the melodic parts are amazing and only he can pull
them off. I just love KE, they
don't take naything too seriously, whilst still producing incredibly catchy songs. | | 8 |  | Linkin Park
Hybrid Theory
The band that got me into metal. As simple as that, there songs are extremely catchy and the rap-
metal mix flows seamlessly
throughout. | | 9 |  | Dark Tranquillity
Fiction
I never understood why DT where always being overshadowed by In Flames and Soilwork, DT continue
too produce quality
'Gothenburg' melodic metal many years after their first. This album is exceptional, the vocals are harsh
and dark, however the
melodic parts are superb. | | 10 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Such an amazing album. I was amazed the first time I heard this, and it does take some getting used
to. The transformation within a single
song is quite immense, and is definitely not to everyone's taste. You have to admire what has been
achieved here, however it is a dark
album and is not the easiest thing to listen to. | |

01.06.10 | you'll probably get flamed for most except 10 | UpperDecker
01.06.10 | Number 3 is awesome (Machine Head - The Blackening). I really don't know how so many people hate them. They do have some bad albums but I only own Burn My Eyes and The Blackening. Every song on The Blackening is perfect. There's no filler, no flaws. The album is so powerful and gigantic. Glad to see it on this list.
I also agree with having Opeth - Blackwater Park, and System of A Down. System's first album is better but Toxicity got me into more metal stuff which also lead me to System's first disc. | luci
01.06.10 | eww | MrHotMoms
01.06.10 | awesome except 4 | gaber01
01.06.10 | funny list, now what do you really think were the best albums? | Asiatic667
01.07.10 | Oh hush Gayber.
People will click on this list expecting Radiohead, Godspeed you, Brand New, Thrice, blah blah blah.. and get eletist when they see this guy actually has his own opinion.
I think the list is cool.
I want Fiction, but it's too damn expensive | Chewie
01.07.10 | "This album has been played so many times on my ipod, and so it has to make my list."
bad rationality | Emim
01.07.10 | I too love "The Blackening", don't get why it gets so much hate. | JWT155
01.07.10 | Crack the Skye is good but not 2009 best let alone decade best for me. Agree with a lot of these. | intothepit83
01.07.10 | "The band that got me into metal. As simple as that, there songs are extremely catchy and the rap- metal mix flows seamlessly throughout."
too bad linkin park isn't metal | tombits
01.07.10 | These albums aren't even the best of their respective discographies let alone the best of the decade. | DiceMan
01.07.10 | Yeah cause every single album from this decade except for 1 is metal.. One of these would possibly make my top 100. Certainly not my top 10. | gaber01
01.07.10 | lol Asiatic, showing your maturity level are you?
Anyway no, this list is lame. He can have his opinion but it still sucks. :) | BurningApollo
01.08.10 | I would take off Hybrid Theory and switch As Daylight Dies and replace it with End of Heartache, but they both are good. | phildoo54
03.03.10 | Pretty cool list!!!
2 and 8 would make my top 10 | austin888
11.03.10 | 10 should be higher. Thank you for 1 and 3. |
