| 5.0 classic |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me |
| Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the Head |
| Converge Jane Doe |
| Perhaps the purest encapsulation of pure agony ever recorded- a firestorm of tortured screams, crushing riffs, and unceasing energy. |
| Deftones Koi No Yokan |
| The pinnacle, thus far, of Deftones' career. Perfectly shaped and formed, building to crescendo after crescendo. Gets better and better every listen. |
| Every Time I Die New Junk Aesthetic |
| Not a single minute of the album is wasted. This is the kind of music you can listen to, sing along to, rock out to any time. The perfect metalcore album. |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞ |
| Grizzly Bear Shields |
| Neurosis Through Silver In Blood |
| Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea |
| Mournful, dark, twisted, and deceptively deep, Neutral Milk Hotel's masterwork is a profoundly disturbing trip into the depths of madness, hidden by the glossy cover of a traditional folk album. |
| Nirvana In Utero |
| Pink Floyd The Wall |
| Porcupine Tree In Absentia |
| Simultaneously tragic and terrifying, not to mention filled with some of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. |
| Radiohead Kid A |
| Like the album cover, Kid A feels like a trip through a frozen wasteland, flickering in and out of existence. Filled to the brim with apocalyptic imagery- this album is what it would be to be the last man on earth. |
| Radiohead OK Computer |
