Long-time tune is not always dramatic. This list features DRAMATIC CDs (for me) that the average of tunes' play-time is over 10:00.

REMARK

2. Trivial instrumental tunes are disregarded.

3. Weakling - Dead As Dreams

Edge of Sanity is one of my favourite bands even if their discography varies in terms of quality. Though it could never be said these guys didn't try something new. And when they got it right, it was mindblowing. I've included EPs cause I absolutely love Until Eternity Ends and couldn't exclude it as such.

1. Edge Of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow

2. Edge Of Sanity - Crimson

3. Edge Of Sanity - Until Eternity Ends

4. Edge Of Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows

5. Edge Of Sanity - Cryptic

So here are ten alternative metal albums which I think are significant to defining the sound of alternative metal over the years, limiting it to one album per band and keeping to albums that are best described as alternative metal as opposed to subgenres like industrial or nu metal.

1. Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking

2. Faith No More - Angel Dust

3. Helmet - Meantime

4. Alice in Chains - Dirt

5. Tool - Undertow
