| Favorite Metal Albums
I'm not really a Metal guy, but I dig plenty of good metal albums, and they are... | | 1 |  | Metallica
Ride the Lightning
Ride the Lightning is easily my favorite Metallica album, because its raw, loud, and angry. Good days before Metallica were teenage drama queens like they are now. | | 2 |  | Pantera
Cowboys From Hell
No matter what the doubters say, Cowboys From Hell is one of the most influential metal albums of all time. Pantera's unique Groove Metal keeps them unique and interesting, while the lead singer in this album is much better than later albums. | | 3 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Always been a big Opeth fan, and Blackwater Park didn't disappoint. Featuring plenty of heavy, hard-edged anthems, and Opeth's signature low-brow, slow, progressive anthems, the album was perfect. | | 4 |  | Dream Theater
Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory
Arguably Dream Theater's heaviest album, the album was awesome. There's plenty progressive anthems that makes Dream Theater the special prog metal band they are, while there's plenty of their traditional, edgy metal anthems. | | 5 |  | Slayer
Reign in Blood
It is the hardest album of all time. Hands down. The riffs are fast and furious, the drum rhythms set the song well, and the lead singer makes everything work perfectly. | | 6 |  | Mastodon
Blood Mountain
Mastodon's unique brand of sludge metal makes them completely unique, and a breath of fresh air in metal today. Love the old-influenced sludge metal as well. | | 7 |  | Metallica
Master of Puppets
Once again, another excellent short Metallica album. The song Master of Puppets rocks the house, and the album works quick and fast, with one of Metallica's best albums of all time. | | 8 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
This album was another excellent, varied Opeth album that shows that good metal isn't just for old times. Ghost Reveries is arguably one of Opeth's albums as well. | | 9 |  | Iron Maiden
The Number of the Beast
Iron Maiden was one of my favorite 80s metal bands, especially with the lead singer's unique, almost trash-like vocal delivery, the album's fast riff delivery, and drumming-led rhythms. | | 10 |  | Trivium
The Crusade
Let the flaming begin. Trivium reinvented themselves with this album, and made them more than the traditional, boring metalcore bands of the early millenium. Their unique, excellent, fun, thrash metal influences work well with their metalcore influenced guitar riffs. It seems as if the only people who don't like this album is the asylum of Sputnikmusic, so I guess I'm with the masses on this one. | |

08.22.07 | 1,5,6,7 are the best, but that isn't saying much. You ruined it with 10 there, bud. | Otisbum
08.22.07 | Anthem (We Are The Fire) kinda owns.
Nice list. | Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
08.22.07 | 1, 3 , 7 & 8 ftw. | Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
08.22.07 | of course 8 is arguably one of Opeth's albums, who else would have made it ;P | jrowa001
08.22.07 | 10 might die out for you like it did for me. i no longer listen to it and i take back all my positive comments on it when it came out. still has some good songs and Anthem has a special place with me. | Altmer
08.22.07 | excellent list, blood mountain is the only one I haven't heard yet
dig all of these except 6 and 10 | muchtallerthanu
08.22.07 | With the exception of the Crusade, great list. | Electric City
08.22.07 | Referring to sputnik as an asylum ruins an otherwise nice list. | goneshootin22
08.22.07 | Pretty good list. 10 seemed interesting, but got more boring and cheezy every time I listened to it. Everything else here is rather delightfull. Needs Powerslave though. | FR33L0RD
08.22.07 | 1,3,7,8,9 are my fav on this list
| BallsToTheWall
08.22.07 | Pantera owns. | OpethFreak
08.22.07 | Fuck yeah, awesome list except for Trivium. | Zoo
08.22.07 | I'm not gonna lie, you could have done better. But, then again, I expected a lot worse. Pretty decent, tribe, you're improving in my eyes. Expand your tastes a little. There are a lot of good bands that I'm sure you will like if you look beyond the top layers of the metal onion. | Mikesn
08.23.07 | 3, 4, 9 are good.
1, 2, 6, 10 are awful. | aryan0219
08.24.07 | 1 is awful? are you fucking crazy? It is one of the biggest landmarks in thrash history. | Zoo
08.24.07 | Mike, didn't you rate 1 a 4.5? |
