My ranking of all My Dying Bride's studio albums. Turn Loose The Swans and Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light are the two best albums for me. I basically like every album a lot, except for For Lies I Sire. It's not bad obviously, but it was a disappointment for me, hence why it's below 34.788%... Complete. The last album being a very experimental/strange album, but it still contains a few great songs. I included ratings as well as the best (in my opinion of course) songs of each album.

1.My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

2.My Dying Bride - Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light

3.My Dying Bride - The Angel And The Dark River

4.My Dying Bride - The Dreadful Hours

5.My Dying Bride - The Light At The End Of The World

The following CDs are the as the title states, "The Rarest CDs In Jiri's Kollection". However, there are two LP sets, so the title is ultimately lying. Anyway, these CDs have ineffable sentimental and "pride for owning them" value, as well as monetary value. I have listed them in order of "pride" importance; meaning the first is the most adored by Jiri and the last is least adored by Jiri, but still a rare artifact. That said, anything ultra rare in Jiri's kollection was examined and placed into the list below. Enjoy.

1.Root - Kärgeräs

2.Chthonic - Where The Ancestors' Souls Gathered

3.Ulver - The Trilogie - Three Journeyes Through The Norwegian Netherworlde

4.Sigh - Infidel Art

5.Sigh - Ghastly Funeral Theatre

Lately I have found that I am really, really into melodeath and doom/melancholic metal albums. I enjoy other genres, but after a while I keep reverting back to a small list of masterpieces.

This is a list of these albums. They somehow keep finding their way back into my CD player. As it happens, they (mostly) fit in the following genres:

1.Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

2.Katatonia - Dead End Kings

3.Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

4.Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising

5.Insomnium - Across The Dark

Albums with a star (★) have received a 10/10 rating from me. I've added genres and my favourite songs.

1.After Forever - Decipher

2.Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

3.Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

4.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

5.Anathema - The Silent Enigma
