| Favorite Alternative/Progressive Metal
We all have subgenres of hard rock and metal, which we hold most dear. To me, Alternative/Progressive Metal (and the associated bands) is the pinnacle of metal. What other form of metal can truly open up your ajna chakra and promote heightened consciousness. Although you may disagree; in my honest opinion, all other subgenres pale in comparison. This list includes my favorite thirty albums within this subgenre. Should you have any RECs, please do not hesitate to send them my way and thank you in advance. Just recently found out about the band Boil on this website and am pretty excited. | | 30 |  | Gone is Gone

Props to Meytal Cohen, who made an incredible album here. | | 28 |  | Suns of the Tundra
Tunguska | | 27 |  | Fair to Midland
Fables From a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times is True | | 26 |  | Muse
Origin of Symmetry
Also really dig the album Drones | | 25 |  | 10 Years
The Autumn Effect | | 24 |  | Battling Delirium
Super Psychedelic Love Songs For the Dark Hearted | | 23 |  | Lesser Key
Lesser Key
Featuring former Tool bassist Paul D'Amour | | 22 |  | In Flames
Siren Charms
This may seem like a strange choice, but take a listen to this album and in my opinion it fits here. | | 21 |  | Katatonia
The Great Cold Distance
Dead End Kings is also one of my favorite albums of theirs. | | 20 |  | Apocalyptica
Shadowmaker | | 19 |  | Coheed and Cambria
No World for Tomorrow
This was the first Coheed and Cambria album I ever had, and as such, is my favorite. But IV and Year of the Black Rainbow are not far behind. | | 18 |  | Soen
Lykaia | | 17 |  | Karnivool
Themata | | 16 |  | Suns of the Tundra
Suns of the Tundra | | 15 |  | Mastodon
Emperor of Sand | | 14 |  | Rishloo
Eidolon | | 13 |  | TesseracT
Altered State
Unfortunately, even though great, the other Tesseract albums do not hold a candle to this one. | | 12 |  | Fair to Midland
Arrows and Anchors | | 11 |  | Soen
Tellurian | | 10 |  | Hurt
Vol. 1 | | 9 |  | Karnivool

Crack the Skye | | 4 |  | Soen
Cognitive | | 3 |  | Rishloo
Feathergun | | 2 |  | Tool

Yes, I place Aenima higher than Lateralus. But not by much. | |

07.07.18 | Honorable mention to all the bands on my prior list "Nu-Metal Era Albums that Broke the Mold". Also, honorable mention to Dredg, Mt. Helium, Earshot, Feersum Ennjin, Opus Dai, Prisma, Evan's Blue, and many more... Also, A Perfect Circle's "Eat the Elephant" could fit on here. | 0xME
07.07.18 | Chaos Divine is a band you should enjoy, they're great | bgillesp
07.07.18 | Check Nothing More- s/t (kinda like fair to midland)
Also check some better In Flames like ASOP | JDubb
07.07.18 | I understand why everyone dislikes Siren Charms, as I have been a fan of In Flames since Clayman. It is certainly a radical departure from everything formerly In Flames. But I dig it for what it is, which is an alternative/progressive metal album. Take a listen to it without preconceptions (of what it should be or what you think it should be). May have been better released as a Passenger album. | Cygnatti
