stop spamming fsm please? kthx.

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

What I want to be able to do is swap an account name you have with another account you own. I have the accounts Final Smash and Probopass, and I would love to have either of those with my stats rather than Armyman19 :roll:

Now that is just stupid, why ban it?

I really liked Dauði Baldrs, but maybe i'm just weird. :lol: We have a user whose forum name is Napalm_Death lol.

Enter the Church of Fornication - Anorexia Nervosa

I dont understand how you like Lamb Of God. But I do understand why you like their most mainstream friendly album (In my opinion). I own both Wrath and Sacrament, I just did not find Wrath as great. No songs really stood out on Wrath. Walk with me in Hell was a great song. Wrath is all right, just not as good as Sacrament. He's referring to their earlier albums.

PMG is generally a very slow forum, just give it time.

Ameri[bleep] Evolving Into Useless Psychic Garbage - American Head Charge

Majesty - Blind Guardian

You have heard like 3 or 4 songs I'm guessing? Btw, listen to some folk metal. You mean electric banjos? Here's a good example. [yt]1Cp3JOMt1xU[/yt]

Because they are metal. oic. So why does everyone here like metal so much? Perhaps the question is, why don't you like metal so much?

Angel Rebllion - Edguy

supposed to wait till you get pm'd to do it ;)

The band themselves literally called this album "a piece of [cabbage]". Personally I don't see how you could put this as their best work. They have made much better albums. Because it is my favorite. i don't give a [cabbage] what the band thinks of it, it matters what I think of it.

I haven't actually lisened to their self-titled yet. oh, woops :oops: . I don't care to go back and edit, it's Fade to Black.

Mine is up, sorry if it seems early, but it is Monday soooo..... Anyway, i'll pm the next user in a bit.

On the contrary, they're quite good! To start off, I'd like to say that yes, this may seem very quick after the previous list, but hey, to keep true the original topic of posting a new list every monday, i'm doing it right. Anyways, my descriptions aren't always long, they say what I feel needs to be said. The rest can be said by listening to the music! I also have listened to a lot of material from other people's lists so there will be some things other people have had on here. The first 10 are my top 10 albums, the last 35 are just in alphabetical order. Anyway, enjoy my favorite albums! 1. Demons & Wizards Demons & Wizards This is in my opinion the best power metal album I have ever heard. That is just about all I have to say. For those who do not know, this band consists of Blind Guardians vocalist and Iced Earths guitarist. The track Fiddler on the Green is pretty much my favorite ballad of all time next to one on this next album. 2. Dream Theater Images and Words This album is simply amazing. Even Dream Theater haters usually acknowledge that Images and Words is a great (or at least good) album. This is by far my favorite progressive metal album. It also contains the song Another Day, my favorite ballad :) . 3. Blind Guardian Nightfall In Middle-Earth Nightfall In Middle-Earth is a concept album that is I believe based on Tolkiens The Silmarillion. Either way, its an amazing power metal album that is fun and exciting the whole way though. My favorite track here would definitely be The Curse Of Fëanor, shame they cant play it live. 4. King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King Aah, this is one great progressive rock album. Despite being somewhat slow at times, with not much happening, (tracks like Moonchild) it still manages to never become boring to me. This is one album all fans of music of any type should have a listen to. Favorite track: Epitaph 5. Mayhem A Grand Declaration of War And so we come to the first black metal album of the list. Unlike most Mayhem albums, this album has good sound quality and a nice balance of everything in it, so no instrument (DRUMS!) sticks out above the rest. That, combined with some great songs, puts this as my favorite Mayhem album. Favorite track: In the Lies Upon Where You Lay. 6. Queensrÿche Operation: Mindcrime This is truly a great concept album. It follows the story of a man becoming disillusioned with American society, and joining in a conspiratorial plot to assassinate its corrupt leaders (taken from Wikipedia). It is really fun to listen to and a very catchy album all around. Favorite track: Revolution Calling. 7. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Hey, I try not to be cliché, but this is one great piece of work right here. A fantastic album here, which I feel really shouldnt be listened to except as a full album. It just doesnt seem right. Most people have heard this album so I wont give much of a description. Favorite track: The whole album. 8. Opeth Watershed (Special Edition) This Opeth album is in my opinion their best because it isnt focused too heavily on either the mellower side of them or the harder, death metal side. It is the perfect mix. I recommend the Special edition version because it includes the songs Bridge of Sighs and Den Ständiga Resan, which should be listened to. Favorite song: The Lotus Eater. 9. Symphony X Paradise Lost Symphony X! I love this bands singer, Russell Allen. No other man could fit this band, his voice just perfectly fits the mythological themes in their songs. This is a concept album based on Miltons epic poem of the same name. Favorite track: Set the World on Fire (The Lie of Lies) 10. Adagio Dominate For those of you who dont know Adagio (and from what Ive gathered, not too many do), there are 2 sides to them. Their first 2 albums, Sanctus Ignis and Underworld were Progressive Metal albums. Their second 2, Dominate and Archangels in Black, are more Power Metal like (but still have progressive traces in them). I must say, I like their latter 2 albums much more, and Dominate is the standout for me. This band goes through vocalists like theyre going out of style, and on Dominate the vocalist is Gus Monsanto, and his voice fits this album perfectly. Oh, and for the guitar lovers, Stephan Fortè is one amazing guitarist. Favorite track: Rlyeh the Dead. The rest of this list is in no particular order, just alphabetical by band. Enjoy. 11. American Head Charge The Feeding American Head Charge is a great band for when you just want to rock out. Shame theyre on an indefinite hiatus. 12. Anaal Nathrakh Eschaton Anaal Nathrakh is not a band that many can listen to. They will give the average music listener a large headache and leave them walking away thinking What the [bleep] was that?! However, if you feel you can handle it, then go ahead and give it a spin. This album wins over there others, I like how it is more melodic and not just pure thrashing away (nothing wrong with that though). Favorite track: The Destroying Angel. 13. Anthrax Among the Living I dont need to go too much into detail here, this is a thrash album that most people have heard before. It still deserves its place on this list because of how great it is. 14. Arkha Sva Gloria Satanae I first heard this after listening to it from someone elses list (sorry, I cant remember who). Ever since then, it has been one of my favorite black metal albums. It doesnt sound like much at first, generic black metal with bad quality, then the vocalist starts wailing with his insane falsetto abilities. :twss: . 15. At Vance Dragonchaser In all honesty, At Vance is generic power metal. Nothing special at all. That is, until you hear some of their covers. Now if I picked a band for this list for some covers, you bet your [wagon] theyre some good covers. Their songs are pretty good, but they cover The Winner Takes it All (ABBA) on this, and it just won me over. 16. Ayreon 010011001 Ayreon. A progressive metal project that features some of the best metal singers around these day. I havent heard too much of Ayreon, but of what I have heard, 010011001 is my favorite, its just so much fun to listen to. Favorite track: Age of Shadows. 17. Blind Guardian Imaginations From the Other Side Sorry for a duplicate (there are only 2 more) but this album had to go on. I had a tough choice deciding which was better, this or Nightfall. In the end, Nightfall one. IFTOS is still a great Guardian album and features some of Guardians best songs on it. Favorite track: Bright Eyes 18. Burzum - Dauði Baldrs I have to say, Ive never really been able to get into Burzums black metal albums much. However, his ambient albums are great! This one stands out to me better than Hliðskjálf, its just more pleasant to listen to. No favorite track. 19. Carcass Heartwork Carcasss Heartwork is the only album I have heard of them. Given this, it is one great Death metal album. Sorry if Im wrong on the exact genre. The vocalist isnt impossible to understand and the whole album is a fun ride. Favorite track: Heartwork. 20. Circus Maximus The 1st Chapter Dare I say it, I enjoy Circus Maximus much more than Dream Theater. Well, much more than new Dream Theater. That being said, this is the only Circus Maximus album worth listening. Their second release, Isolate, is rather boring and has too much keyboard work in it. The 1st Chapter is a great piece of Progressive Metal work. It has a lot of piano work (which I happen to enjoy very much) and a fantastic vocalist. If I kept going on numbers, this would be #11. Favorite Track: Glory of the Empire 21. Death Symbolic I dont have to write a description, do I? Seriously. A great death metal album. 22. Dimmu Borgir In Sorte Diaboli [Album Art not suitable for forums.] This is an awesome symphonic black metal album. It features Hellhammer on drums too! Anyway, its great fun to listen to, full of energy and great sound quality. Favorite track: The Chosen Legacy. 23. Dream Theater Awake Sorry, another duplicate. But anyways, Im a huge fan of Dream Theater and this is my second favorite of their albums. Its very dark throughout most of the album and features a great little trilogy of songs tracks 4-6 (A Mind Beside Itself). Not as good as I&W by any means but still definitely worth a listen. Favorite track: Scarred. 24. Emperor Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Now, many Emperor fans will disagree with me here, and say that In the Nightside Eclipse is their best album. Sorry, I just like Anthems a lot better. Its a thrill ride of an album, from the slowly building intro track until it bursts into glory with the opener, Ye Entrancemparium. It doesnt suffer from the notorious bad quality of most black metal albums too. Favorite track: Ye Entrancemparium. 25. Ensiferum Iron Yay, Viking metal! Ensiferum is a band that sure does do it right, and Iron is by far their best work. Favorite track: Slayer of Light 26. Equilibrium Sagas This is another duplicate from someone elses list, and theres a reason for it. This beat out Finntrolls Ur Jordens Djup as my favorite folk metal album, and it deserves that title. Its just great fun to listen to. And for those who like the style of music but not the vocals, the closer is a 16-minute instrumental. Favorite track: Snuffel. 27. Helloween Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 It was a hard decision between either this or Starlight. In the end, I decided that Keeper won because its just so much more fun to listen to. And thats what power metal is, fun music. Keeper part 1 is nice little album with some great songs. This album is just basically about Kiske wailing away. On that note, I prefer Helloweens earlier albums, but I also like Andi Deris (current singer) much better than Michael Kiske. Favorite track: Halloween. 28. Iced Earth Horror Show Yay, some Iced Earth! I cant get enough of their singer, his voice is just awesome. Horror Show is about, well, Horror movies. Songs like Frankenstein, Dracula, and Wolf. Its one awesome power metal album (yes, thats what I classify IE as). Favorite song: Dracula. 29. Into Eternity Buried in Oblivion I know many people that dont like Into Eternity, and when I mention them they wont give them a chance. Buried in Oblivion is a great album and proves their worth. The singer has an uncanny ability to hold out growls for very long periods of time. For an example, listen to Spiraling Into Depression. Favorite track: Spiraling Into Depression. 30. Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast I dont think I need to write anything here. Favorite track: Hallowed Be Thy Name. 31. John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess An Evening With John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess This is a strange choice indeed, but I couldnt leave it out. This album is Petrucci and Rudess jamming out in a live instrumental concert, and its very good. Avid Dream Theater fans will notice many of these songs have hints of Dream Theater tracks in them. For example, the song Truth is like a redone The Spirit Carries On. Either way, its a nice live album, and neither of them goes too crazy as they are notorious for. Favorite track: Furia Taurina. 32. Liquid Tension Experiment Liquid Tension Experiment Liquid Tension Experiment is a group with the Dream Theaters members (-Myung and LaBrie) and with Tony Levin on bass. This album is just them having fun in the studio basically, and its amazing. From the opener on this album is a giant eargasm. Favorite track: Paradigm Shift. 33. Mastodon Call of the Mastodon Call of the Mastodon was tough to pick over Leviathan, but still, I felt it was better. I really have no idea what genre this is, but its good. Favorite track: Shadows That Move. 34. Mercyful Fate Dont Break the Oath Many people are turned off by Mercyful Fate due to the Kings very high pitched singing and the clear black metal lyrics. Still, that is no reason not to give Mercyful Fate a listen, its a great album, and their best. And while youre at it, check out King Diamonds Abigail. Favorite track: Come to the Sabbath 35. Metallica Ride the Lightning This is definitely Metallicas finest work. I cant say this for any other album of theirs but I like every song on here. Its a nice reminder of Metallica at their prime. 36. Nailbomb Point Blank Nailbomb is a side project of Sepultura, and is better than Sepultura in my opinion. Its a great album that just chug-chug-chugs along, like a mini-Pantera. Fun stuff. Favorite track: Dont really have one. 37. Napalm Death Scum Scum is a very hard album to get into. Its sound quality is almost as bad as that of some Mayhem albums. Once you can get past this, it is very enjoyable. It also has a 1 second song XD , entitled You Suffer. Favorite song: Dont have one. 38. Opeth Damnation And now we come to the last duplicate of the list. Opeths Damnation was originally combined with Deliverance, but ended up being released as a separate album. Damnation is an album consisting entirely of ballads, and shows Opeths softer, more mellow side, which allows a lot more people to easily listen to them. Damnation also has some very nice songs in it. Favorite track: In My Time of Need. (Ohoho, and you thought I would say Windowpane!) 39. Pantera Vulgar Display of Power Right off the first the you notice about this album is the cover of a dude getting punched in the face. This is the first sign of one badass album. Pantera is known for being a train (not wreck) of a band. When listening to them you can only think chugga-chugga-chugga, its what they sound like. VDOP is one amazing album. RIP Dimebag. Favorite track: [bleep]ing Hostile. 40. Prmordial To the Nameless Dead This is I believe the third list this album has been mentioned on, and rightly so. These Celtic musicians really have something going. I dont really need to describe it if youve been reading the other lists. Favorite track: Heathen Tribes. 41. Rush Moving Pictures Just go listen to it. Favorite track: YYZ. 42. Slayer Reign in Blood There isnt much to say here, besides this is the best thrash album ever. It keeps going the whole album and there isnt a bad song on it. Favorite song: Angel of Death. 43. Spheric Universe Experience Anima SUE is a strange choice for me, but I had to do it. They are a French(?) progressive metal band. This is the only bit I have heard of them, but its pretty good. It manages to not be boring, and it uses tons of piano>keyboards (which I really like, I cant stand tons of keyboard). Favorite track: Neptunes Revenge. 44. Terrorizer World Downfall What turns a lot of people away from grindcore is the tendency for the vocals to be garbage. Pig squeals and all the jazz. Terrorizer manages to not do this, and I thank them for it. This is an album any fan of the genre should own. Favorite Track: Dead Shall Rise. 45. Venom Black Metal Black Metal is well, the founding album of Black Metal! I dont really have too much to say about it other than that. Good stuff here. Favorite Track: Leave Me in Hell.
