| Favorite 5 From 1995 (my Birth Year)
I was born nearly 17 years ago, and I've been looking for some great
albums released that year. I discovered that 1995 was a pretty great year
for metal. | | 5 |  | Radiohead
The Bends
1995 marked Radiohead's second release, which I think is vastly better than Pablo
Honey. In fact, I would venture to say that it's their third best album (next to OK
Computer and Kid A) | | 4 |  | Opeth
Orchid
Opeth's debut, of course, was not nearly as good as their more famous works (Still
Life, Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries) but it laid the foundations of what would
become one of the most unique metal bands ever. Orchid was one of their three
albums (their first three) that had black metal influences, and they are plentiful on
this album. At the time of the release, I'm sure people were confused and
astounded by the blend of black metal, death metal, and folk music! | | 3 |  | Strapping Young Lad
Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing
1995 was also the year that Devin Townsend (among my two favorite musicians)
would begin his extensive career. Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing is exactly as the
title suggests. Pure, raw energy. This album is complete with humour, death
growls, intensity, everything you could ever ask for from Strapping Young Lad. This
will always be my favorite SYL album. | | 2 |  | Death
Symbolic
In 1991, Death began their road towards more progressive music with their
release, Human. Symbolic was their third album in their road to becoming
progressive, and by 1995, I would say they perfected it. Symbolic offers complex,
progressive passages, but still stays true to Death's death metal signature
(something that The Sound of Perseverance got carried away with) Although I
prefer Human over Symbolic, I would say that Symbolic is Death's best album. | | 1 |  | The Smashing Pumpkins
Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
Not only is Mellon Collie the best album of 1995, I would say it is the best album of
the 1990's, and probably my favorite album of all time. This album has everything
to offer. It has the soft songs, the heavy songs, the catchy songs, the beautiful
songs, and it has two quality hours of music. Now this may sound biased because
I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, but if you listen to this lengthy double album, I
guarantee that you will have a positive feeling towards it. In my eyes, I only see
perfection. | |

07.10.12 | i love the bends. 1 is a pretty high statement. it's a great album, but i personally enjoyed siamese dream a lot more | Foaming
07.10.12 | "You like Above The Graves or Rest?"
Don't pimp shitty bands. | ColorTheGreys
07.10.12 | @Weesnaw yeah like I said, that's pretty opinionated aha but it is one of the best-selling albums of the 90's for sure. | Weesnaw
07.10.12 | i mean you're entitled to your opinion, so it's cool. i just personally never saw what was so amazing about mellon collie, but great nonetheless | ColorTheGreys
07.10.12 | Are you a Smashing Pumpkins fan at all or not really?
Also @AboveTheGraves, why are you advertising a band when you rated all their albums "awful"? | Weesnaw
07.10.12 | well kind of, i have their first 3 albums. siamese dream is awesome, gish is very good, and mellon collie has some really awesome songs, but i also feel like it has some pretty lackluster ones | ColorTheGreys
07.10.12 | That's fair to say. And if you're not a really big fan, I can see how you might think it drags on. I've learned to love even the weaker tracks myself. | SCREAMorphine
07.10.12 | I would lend my vote to Mellon Collie for album of the decade, along with every other album they released in the 90's, nothing but masterpieces. |
