| Stuff I Discovered Through Sputnik
So, since I joined this site, my musical taste has expanded significantly. Here's the bands that I learned about on here. I'd appreciate any recommendations. | | 1 |  | Anacrusis
Manic Impressions
Pretty innovative thrash band that is criminally underrated by most people. 4/5 | | 2 | | Andrew Bird
Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs
Very pleasant music. 4.5/5 | | 3 |  | At The Drive-In
Relationship of Command
My first hardcore album. Incredibly strange, and I need some more time to adjust to the vocals. 3.5/5, probably going to go up to about a 4, maybe a 4.5. | | 4 |  | Atheist
Unquestionable Presence
Sounds a bit like the death metal equivalent to Megadeth. 4/5 | | 5 |  | Between the Buried and Me
The Great Misdirect
I was put off by the long track times, but after a couple of listens, I began to love this album. 4.5/5 | | 6 |  | Cryptopsy
None So Vile
My favorite extreme metal album. Only complaints are that the album is somewhat repetitive, and I can't understand any of the lyrics. 4/5 | | 7 |  | Dark Tranquillity
The Gallery
One of the most interesting melodeath albums that I have. There's absolutely no reason for The Jester Race to be more popular than this. 4.5/5 | | 8 |  | Darkest Hour
Deliver Us
My favorite album from these guys. Some very memorable riffs and melodies. 4/5 | | 9 | | Dissection
Storm of the Light's Band
My favorite black metal album, full of amazing melodies and riffs. 5/5 | | 10 |  | In Flames
The Jester Race
Overrated but good. Definitely not the best Gothenburg album of all time. 3.5/5 | | 11 | | Ian Anderson
Secret Language of Birds
I've been a huge Jethro Tull fan for years. I have almost all of their good albums and I've seen them live (awesome show), but I've never heard of this album. This album is almost perfect and certainly the best thing Ian did since 1979. 4.5/5. | | 12 |  | Jeff Beck
Beck-Ola
All of the band members are great, but the guitar playing and vocals are definitely the highlights for me. Great album. 4/5 | | 13 |  | The Mars Volta
De-Loused in the Comatorium
One of the oddest albums that I own. I need to give this a few more listens before I settle on a rating, but right now, its between a 3.5 and a 4.5/5 | | 14 |  | Mastodon
Crack the Skye
Best sludge band that I know of. Pretty good, but the vocals are definitely an acquired taste. 3.5/5 | | 15 |  | Nine Inch Nails
The Downward Spiral
I have PHM and The Slip, and some songs from TDS. I look forward to buying the whole thing, and if the whole album is as good as March of the Pigs and Hurt, then it will be a definite 5/5. | | 16 | | Rainbow
Rainbow Rising
Why do so few people know about this album? This is without a doubt one of the best albums that I own. Anybody that likes Dio, Black Sabbath, or Deep Purple (or music in general) should buy this immediately. 5/5. | | 17 |  | Rigor Mortis
Rigor Mortis
Once again, not enough people know this band. One of the better speed/thrash acts that I know of. 4/5. | | 18 |  | Savatage
Gutter Ballet
Nice album filled with emotion. When the Crowds are Gone is the band's best song. Unfortunately, some filler brings this down to a 4/5. | | 19 |  | Sodom
M-16
Pretty cool thrash band. Rather solid, but I prefer Kreator. 3.5/5 (Might go up to a 4) | | 20 |  | Therion
Theli
I play classical piano and blues/metal guitar. I can't resist loving a band mixing opera and death metal. 5/5 | | 21 |  | Thought Industry
Mods Carve the Pig
My initial reaction to this album was "What the Hell". A good 15 listens later, my reaction is unchanged. 4.5/5 | | 22 |  | Wintersun

04.02.10 | You think 3 is strange? I always thought it was pretty straightforward | Greggers
04.02.10 | "its between a 3.5 and a 4.5/5"
So...a 4 then? | vanderb0b
04.02.10 | @Dotcommy
Well, I'm new to the genre, and I never heard anything like it, so I found the album to be strange
@Greggers.
I meant that I haven't formed enough opinions about the album, and I might rate it anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5. | Slipping Away
04.02.10 | Yeah definitely get 15, interesting list too | AliW1993
04.02.10 | March Of The Pigs is one of the weaker songs on The Downward Spiral imo, and also the way that Hurt works in the concept of the album is incredible. | Slipping Away
04.02.10 | For me they're all equally good, they just flow so well together | vanderb0b
04.03.10 | Just got The Downward Spiral. About to listen to it. | TheSpirit
04.03.10 | surprised theres not a shit ton more of opeth | vanderb0b
04.03.10 | I learned about Opeth a few months before I joined this site | maidenpmcc
05.10.10 | Stick Wintersun in here :) | vanderb0b
05.10.10 | Did it. I stopped updating this a day after I created it, if I had gone on updating it, this would have been well over 50 albums by now. | vanderb0b
05.10.10 | Listening to TTDADO now. Pretty cool | dante1991
09.18.10 | mega props for 18 | DonniSharK
09.18.10 | Mastodon don't play sludge anymore, that was only on Remission. You should listen to more sludge. Check out Acid Bath, Crowbar and Neurosis. | RippingCorpse
09.18.10 | lol mastodon | vanderb0b
09.18.10 | lol mastodon [2]. This list was made back when i was dumb. I'll check out Acid Bath and Crowbar, Neurosis is awesome. | Willie
09.18.10 | 1 and 21 - fuck yeah. | vanderb0b
09.18.10 | I'm pretty sure that I learned about both 1 and 21 by reading your reviews of those albums, Willie. Thanks! | climactic
09.18.10 | Jester race is not 3.5/5 by any means. | vanderb0b
09.18.10 | Yeah, it really grew on me since I made the list. It's between a 4 and 4.5 now, and leaning towards the latter. | wittwright
09.18.10 | Leviathan was my favorite release from Mastodon | vanderb0b
09.18.10 | Same here. The others grew off me and are 2.5-3's now, but Leviathan is still a 4. | Voivod
09.18.10 | excellent list | Crysis
09.18.10 | Description for 7 is 100% true
And yes, The Jester Race is no more than a 3.5/5. | Sheeple9000
09.18.10 | “One of the oddest albums that I own. I need to give this a few more listens before I settle on a rating, but right now, its between a 3.5 and a 4.5/5”
That's their, least experimental, least pretentious, easiest album to get into. | Dryden
09.18.10 | lol found in flames from sputnik | Sheeple9000
09.18.10 | “My first hardcore album.”
luLwUt?! | Sheeple9000
09.19.10 | If ATDI is hardcore, then Kenny G is post-bop-jazz-fusion. | Asiatic667
09.19.10 | Everything on this list is terrible. Moar like you discovered through BUTTNIKMUSIC | foreverendeared
09.19.10 | lulz lots of good stuff |
