| Albums With Only ~50 Ratings
I can't believe these albums only have about 50 ratings. Listen to this stuff. | | 1 |  | Cobalt
Gin
Got this recently. It's a well-balanced album, and good mix of different metal stylings. McSorley's vocals &
Wunder's drumming are memorable throughout. The album flow and pacing is also really kickass, you'll
never skip a track. | | 2 | | Man or Astro-Man?
Destroy all Astro-Men
Modern surf with funny sound clips from old movies/TV shows. Great for a casual listen or a party, if you're
not big into surf, this can do it for you. | | 3 |  | Doomriders
Darkness Come Alive
Pummeling metal with the catchiness of a Danzig record. Its got choruses you can't forget, and riffs that'll
be stuck in your head for days. | | 4 |  | Goes Cube
Another Day Has Passed
Imagine if Thrice grew a pair. Another Day Has Passed shares their same post-hardcore sensibilities but adds
some meaty sludge influences into the mix. | | 5 |  | A Place to Bury Strangers
A Place to Bury Strangers
An electro-rock attack on the senses. It shares the same maxed-out sounds ala early Nine Inch Nails, giving it a loud and in-charge
personality.
You can't deny good rock music like this. | | 6 | | The Ponys
Celebration Castle
Chicago rock band with some of the catchiest damn songs you'll ever hear. Simple, light, and rockin'. Sort
of like Les Savy Fav, but less punky. | | 7 | | Kinski
Alpine Static
Imagine Black Sabbath binging on Sonic Youth for a few years and kicking out Ozzy. Sounds awesome,
right? Right. | | 8 |  | Early Man
Closing In
This 2-piece (now a 4-piece?) is thrashy and kind of like early Ozzy solo stuff. Mike Conte's vocals could peel the
paint off the walls - nothing else would suit this band's sound. | | 9 |  | Boris
Smile
I mean, really? Pink is one of the best albums I can think of and this has 1/3rd of the ratings. It just
doesn't compute. | | 10 |  | Celeste
Misanthrope(s)
Warning: this may be too brutal for your ears. (It's also free, so there's no reason this shouldn't have 100
ratings: ://www.denovali.com/celeste/ ) | | 11 |  | Shellac
1000 Hurts
It's a Steve Albini album. | | 12 |  | Valient Thorr
Immortalizer
Now that they're touring with Mastodon, BTBAM, & Baroness - I'm sure more people will give these guys a
listen. Imagine Guns 'N' Roses with a lifetime subion to High Times. Fans of Fu Manchu will rejoice. | | 13 |  | Lye By Mistake
Fea Jur
With all of the hype around groups like Scale the Summit, Animals as Leaders, and Behold... The Arctopus,
these guys should really be getting more attention. They're every bit as competent as the aforementioned
trio. | | 14 |  | Iron Age
The Sleeping Eye
Along with Lazarus AD, these guys are the future of thrash. While Lazarus AD may have a more modern
approach, Iron Age seem to look backward. Now tell me that you've heard it before, but then gasp when I
tell you they take inspiration from stuff BEFORE the 80s. Yeah, they aren't you're typical 80s throwback
thrashers - and that's a good thing. | | 15 | | The Dismemberment Plan
Emergency & I
One of the greatest albums of the 90s you probably haven't heard. | |
DiceMan
03.01.10 | I didn't really like 10 all that much. | TMobotron
03.01.10 | More importantly, while it does have more than 50 votes, Kashiwa Daisuke's Program Music I has 68 votes with a 4.6 rating, is the 5th best album of all time according to ratings on here, and is better than anything on this list. Listen to it. | GnarlyShillelagh
03.01.10 | Props for 50, and also Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun should be on here.
It's amazing. | bungy
03.01.10 | 1,5,7 and especially 15 are great.
and fuck hell shit yeah to what Gnarly said. | IRAI
03.01.10 | 3 and 9 are legit, but i havent rated em, SORRY.
sometimes things just get overlooked or passed by...
i mean, realistically, im missing a good 5-600 album ratings, it isnt always the easiest thing to do.
lots of factors obvs go into ratings, unless youre a troll or a fanboy.
| Douglas
03.01.10 | Greatest albums ever in:
Paul Dempsey - Everything is True
and
Something For Kate - Beautiful Sharks
both have under 50 ratings. It's ridic! | Uranium
03.01.10 | # 3 is so good. Def one of the better metal-ish of 09 | halloway
03.01.10 | i understand that some people have so many albums they haven't got around to 'em yet (i myself keep finding stuff i thought i rated, but didn't), but i feel like these albums are so good that having only 50 ratings is ludicrous. | Yordy
03.01.10 | According to their myspace, Celeste has a new album coming out soon. Called Morte(s) Nee(s) | Yotimi
03.01.10 | 11 is awesome but I haven't rated yet. 15 is a solid 4.5 - amazing album. |
