metal is heavy and wild brutal and twisted weird metalcore is heavy hardcore is wild and brutal deathcore brutal and wild fear factory is industrial/nu metal and their heavy listen 2 shock and my curse and tell me that thats not metal

Metal is more than about how brutal you are, how fast you can play, and how well you can scream yourself bloody. I've heard Fear Factory and they bore me.

But whatever, maybe I am a bit of a purist.

metal also has to have great lyrics

Yeah...technically, but then there's Cannibal Corpse....

They're a great band but there's nothing really all that earth-shattering about the lyrical content.

That's a lotta exclamation marks in the thread title... Also, another annoying short faves list. A Top 10 would make much more sense.

Extremely hard to choose, but here we go:

Apocalyptica: Worlds Collide
Metallica: Death Magnetic (it's currently my fave album by them)
Black Label Society: Blessed Hellride
Judas Priest: Painkiller
Rammstein: Mutter

Oh, and for the record: NIN's Broken is NOT a metal album.

ALso for the record...rammstein are not metal...

Death - 1990 - Spiritual Healing
Dimmu Borgir - 2001 - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Mudvayne - 2000 - L.D. 50
Pantera - 1990 - Cowboys From Hell
Sepultura - 1991 - Arise

5 is a tough limit

1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
2. Trivium - Shogun
3. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
4. Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
5. Lamb of God - Sacrament / Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies

Honorable mention: Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Metallica (pre- load, death magnetic), Trivium - Ascendancy / Crusade, Machine Head - The Blackening

(Searching for a good/decent/solid/half decent/average metal album... Album Not Found... METAL IS RUBBISH....)

lol! I'm having a hard time too, so many bands where they scream like little girls. what I started doing is turning it down so its just fast noise. sometimes they try so hard its silly

can't list albums yet but these 3 bands are awesome, and I guess this is the 'love' metal variety. Why are there so many sucky metal bands from Sweden and Germany? I mean come on at least speak english properly, their accent is so sleazy and I'm russian so I know its possible to sing normally, they're faking it. its ew

thanks last fm for--

Paradise Lost
Type O Negative
Cathedral

Moonspell - The Antidote

Wow, Moonspell, here : )

Did you ever saw them live? Very cool to see Moonspell on your top 5.

I rather prefer the old stuff from them - not paying much attention to their last records - but it is always interesting to see their work valued by someone. They would be honored, for sure, to see the reference you made.

I'll just go ahead and add this one.

tentatively:

Evil Empire - Rage Against the Machine
Master of Reality - Black Sabbath
Wavering Radiant - Isis
Absolutego - Boris
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

Did someone actually list St. Anger???

Some of the @#$%& in this thread amuses me.

My five favorite metal albums:

1. Metallica, "Master of Puppets"
2. Black Sabbath, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"
3. Megadeth, "Rust in Peace"
4. Ozzy Osbourne, "No More Tears"
5. Pantera, "Vulgar Display of Power"

and the count for this page has St. Anger tied with Master of Puppets.

By one with credentials at any rate. I mean, they did write One.
