KB's Favorite Albums Of All Time (Only Metal)
Here is my provisional favorite-metal-albums-of-all-time-list! Enjoy!
The first 10 albums are in pretty accurate order. However, after that, it becomes harder and harder to separate the albums clearly. Thus, you can say that I enjoy album x on the list as much as the others in the interval of (x-5) to (x+5). For example album 37 would be as much enjoyed as 32, 33, 34, ..., 42, or something like that. |
1.
Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway | |
2.
Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor | |
3.
Grand Alchemist - Intervening Coma-Celebration | |
4.
Opeth - Blackwater Park | |
5.
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory |

Favorite Albums By My Favorite Bands
I picked one album by each of my favorite bands for this list. Keep in mind that after the first few albums I put on the list, it became increasingly difficult to figure out where to place artists in my list. Also, this is kind of how my favorite bands lie now, as far as how often I listen to them - whereas some of these bands used to be much more frequently played, years ago. But this is, more or less, a list of my favorite albums by my favorite bands. |
1.
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory | |
2.
Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape | |
3.
Symphony X - The Odyssey | |
4.
Circus Maximus - Nine | |
5.
Haken - Visions |

2011: Favourite To Least
Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so will increase in size. Also, not entirely in order, middle order mainly just an approximation. |
1.
Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth | |
2.
Protest The Hero - Scurrilous | |
3.
Infestus - E x I s t | |
4.
Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times | |

Anno Domini 2011 (updated 20.01.13)
Even in 2012 (update: 2013), 2011 still isn't too hot a year for me. Still, new stuff keeps on coming, and 2012 itself is looking pretty good, so I'll forgive it. New in the new year is the lack of ratings. It's bothersome, especially since I've decided to sacrifice a few newborns and (retrospectively and retroactively) rate on RYM. |
1.
Hell - Human Remains | |
2.
SubRosa - No Help For The Mighty Ones | |
3.
Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate | |
4.
Hammers of Misfortune - 17th Street | |
5.
Mastodon - The Hunter |
