List of 100
My 100th list(!) and can you believe, I just crossed 100 fives. Here's a list to commemorate both, and a thread of dedication that makes possible these unique discoveries. |
1 |  | Acrostichon Lost Remembrance
One of my first dm discoveries ever, and one of the few that I fell early in love with. Just a 5 on principle. |
2 |  | 65daysofstatic One Time for All Time
Always debate back and forth on this, but it still always wins me over. |
3 |  | American Football American Football
Abashed |
4 |  | Artificial Brain Labyrinth Constellation
Yeah, the pinnacle of modern dm up to this point? Basically. |
5 |  | Atrocity Hallucinations
A gutter. |
6 |  | The Beatles A Hard Day's Night
In all honesty, the only Beatles I can unprejudicely tolerate. |
7 |  | Between the Buried and Me Colors
I held off on 5'ing for the longest time. But it's still a top ten metal album of the last 20 years. That makes it CLASSIC. |
8 |  | Blind Guardian Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Unique and one of a kind in its austerity. |
9 |  | Botch An Anthology of Dead Ends
Repeat is as repeat does. This never ever gets fucking old. |
10 |  | Buckethead Pike Doors
I would love to add Shadows Between the Sky here, but I'm out of room for this list, so consider this to be an unofficial shoutout. I recently revisited it for my birthday and was transported back to 2009 like no other. That record says a lot to me. If I take something out, that will go in its place first. |

The best of the Aaron/Spence collaboration, because it actually edges out Define. The greater post-hardcore focus and aspect makes it more varying and replayable than the straight savage metalcore. |

When will they release a followuuuuup? |
