Awesome to all the metal props. (So sick of seeing the indie-rock jerk off fest)

Metal:
The Faceless - Akeldama [Technical Death]
Mors Principium Est - Inhumanity/The Unborn [Melodic Death]
Sonic Syndicate - Only Inhuman [Melodic Metalcore]
Sybreed - Antares/Slave Design [Cyber Metal]
Soilwork - The Chainheart Machine [Melodic Death]

NonMetal:
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity [Emo]
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium [Prog Rock]
Pulse Ultra - Headspace [Hard Rock]

[Rensho]

lustmord - juggernaut

[Thunderbane]

Madvillain - Madvillainy
m83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
The Stooges - Funhouse

This thread definitely needs a time constraint. Like, notable albums from 1993 or something.

well i meant albums that really shine when listened to all the way through. i guess thats basically every album. maybe i just dont listen to cds all the way each time, especially with mp3 players.

i think its reasonable to not include any (Artist Name) - every album and album featuring him

I don't understand how your list can include almost every legendary metal band and exclude Black Sabbath. Wtf mate? I know it's brief and all, but... dude.

I'm more amazed by his inclusion of Arcade Fire's Funeral in a list comprised almost entirely of metal/rock music. A testament to the quality of that album.

[Blumpster]

Within Temptation - Mother Earth
Brotha Lynch Hung - 24 Deep
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Any Album (All though I prefer his solo album Wildflowers)

[Explosivo]

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
The Black Angels - Passover
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife

All of these really do kick ass, go listen to them if you haven't.

Sabbath are pretty good, but I've never liked them as much as the other bands listed there. Except for possibly Heaven and Hell. I also missed out Dio and Rainbow. :|
