Everything else is shit, you think, as the CD winds down.[views:5525][posts:48]__________________________________________ [Feb 12,2009 10:22pm - Conservationist ""] There are some CDs that are viking funeral CDs for me. After you hear them, you think, "Goddamnit, everything else is just noise in comparison... burn the world, and I will cuddle with this CD for awhile." They really raise the fucking bar and it pushes me toward a clearer vision of why I like being alive. (Unlike most people, I like being alive.) Here's a few: * Any of the Beethoven symphonies * Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss * The Doors - S/T * King Crimson - Red * Slayer - Reign in Blood * Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear ...everything else pales. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 12,2009 10:39pm - Pires ""] I think oath is one of those CDs that I seriously could listen to forever without listening to anything else. There was honestly a period for about 2 months where that was honestly the only cd I listened to. |
| __________________________________________________ [Feb 12,2009 10:40pm - The Great Spaldino NLI ""] Megadeth - "Rust in Peace" is one... atleast this album turns me off of other 'Deth albums. when someone mentions Megadeth... all i can think about is Rust in Peace. its a masterpiece. i would even go as far as saying to blows any of the older Metallica releases away. as a whole it blows Reign in Blood away. It destroys Darkness Descends... i cant really think of another HUGE thrash metal album that can touch it. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 12,2009 10:44pm - Ryan_M ""] Just a few off the top of my head: Sodom "In the Sign of Evil" - One of those albums I don't listen to very often but whenever I do, I wonder why I bother listening to anything else. For me this album epitomizes the term "Black Metal" better than almost any other black metal record I can think of or any other black metal record anyone might recommend to me. Death "Symbolic" - Whenever I listen to this, I am always in awe of the beauty and flawlessness of every song on the fucking CD. Morbid Angel "Blessed are the Sick" - Quite possibly the best death metal album ever recorded, to my ears. Bolt Thrower "Realm of Chaos" - Quite possibly the heaviest death metal album ever recorded, to my ears. I tuned my guitar down to A because of this album. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 12,2009 11:02pm - Murph ""] Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway or Eternal Kingdom Breach - Kollapse Iron Maiden - any album pre Janick Gers Death - Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head (probably my favorite album I've ever heard of any genre ever) |

| ___________________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 7:40am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] The following albums hold some great significance for me; whether having listened to them trekking up the side of a mountain, on Psilocybin, or both. Skepticism - All Burzum - Det.., Hvis.., and Filosofem Neurosis - A Sun That Never Sets ISIS - Celestial, Oceanic Autechre - tri repetae, confield Opeth - First 5 albums Shape of Despair - Shade of..., Illusions Play Thergothon - Stream from the Heavens Meshuggah - All Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works: Volume's 1 and 2 Halo Manash - Language of Red Goats ...Could keep naming but won't |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 10:15am - dreadkill ""] what about nothing? that album was so boring. |

My only regret is that I didn't have any DMT instead. Oh, and everything from Chaosphere onwards = Meshuggah's darkest material. |

| ____________________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 10:51am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Meshuggah is one of the only consistent bands in metal. |

| ___________________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 12:31pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I guess a lot of Progressive/Sludge/Doom Metal albums from Jesu, Cult of Luna and Isis are up there with this feeling. I would also throw Ulver's Shadow of The Sun in this list. Zao's Liberate Te Ex Infernis is a very important album to me. The Neurosis influenced sludgy-ness to it is the kind of Metalcore that only Zao has been able to offer me. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 12:37pm - xanonymousx ""] Liberate Te Ex Infernis, is my favorite Zao record. But I don't believe it is an everything else is shit cd. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 13,2009 12:43pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Well, as far as the time period it came out in the realm of Metalcore it is. Not too many bands that I know of were doing what they were doing. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 13,2009 1:07pm - SW ""] Death - The Sound of Perseverance (death's most "passionate" :LOL: record) All Out War - Condemned to Suffer (the meanest apocalyptic thrash/death/hardcore record) Cryptopsy - None So Vile (every riff memorable while still bludgeoning) as far as Meshuggah goes - Destroy.Erase.Improve FTW Suffocation - Pierced From Within (perfect balance of technicality with brutality) Sleep's Holy Mountain (i love sabbath, but this album just strikes a chord with me, puts me in a good mood as soon as i hear the first notes) |
