These are the albums which I like the most. Since I have not listened to a lot of albums( let's say, max 400 for me), it would be pretentious to make a list of my 100 favorite albums, so I keep this list short.

2. Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale

3. Lurker Of Chalice - Lurker Of Chalice

4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

This is a list comprised of my personal favorite albums. I tried to keep a limitation of two albums per band, but some musicians such will appear on the list at a higher frequency due to having multiple bands. Small reviews for each album will be added eventually. Please note that this list is still under heavy construction, and is no where near done. Many things are probably missing, and some albums may not remain for too long. My goal is to get 100 albums, but if that becomes too difficult I will chop the list down to 50 (or maybe 75). If you can think of any album you think I may be forgetting (read: an album you think I find to be one of my favorites, not your's), don't hesitate to remind me of it's existence.

1. Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops

2. Agalloch - The Mantle

3. Aluk Todolo - Occult Rock

4. Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus

5. Ataraxie - Slow Transcending Agony

My top 5 albums from every year since 2000 w/ my rating out of 10. Does not include singles, EPs, live albums, etc. The notable omissions are in no particular order and have received a rating of at least 8.0. There are a few years that I don't have very many albums from but I'm working on expanding that. Please make recommendations! I put a lot of effort into this list and would love some feedback. Always looking for new/more music. I will update this list as needed.
-- Thanks.
