That's it folks, no more anarchy! 'Cuz I had it with people claiming they're anarchists while all they can do is spam the hell out of other people in Facebook. LOL
This time, I'll be introducing some albums people can possibly relate to, either because of the music, or the lyrics that people find more personal than others. By the way I did not have any serious ideas about sorting the albums in any particular order. They're just sorted in the way I wrote them.

1. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

2. Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

3. Crib45 - Metamorphosis

4. Devin Townsend - Ki

5. Atoma - Skylight

Because I reached the word limit on the previous list, and don't want to lose my quite excellent in-depth descriptions. Those without descriptions are from my other list.

1. Sylosis - Monolith

2. Be'lakor - Of Breath And Bone

3. In The Silence - A Fair Dream Gone Mad

4. Abigail Williams - Becoming

5. Enslaved - RIITIIR

Note; Anything I rate lower than 8 I deem underwhelming. Sure, I might even acknowledge some of them as being rather enjoyble, but considering the "bigger picture of things", I find them unsatisfactory (in varying degrees, depending on their rating).

Partially ordered (the ones with descriptions). The rest are arranged alphabetically.

1. Sybreed - God Is An Automaton

2. Gorod - A Perfect Absolution

3. The Faceless - Autotheism

4. Ihsahn - Eremita

5. Saturnus - Saturn In Ascension

5. Marduk - Serpent Sermon
