The Painters Of Metal

Album art is a crucial element to what makes a great album become monumental to the music fan. It gives us a vision and a feeling through visual sensations that are linked in the mind to the sounds that embody those ideas. A great album is intertwined into those concrete images and the two aspects make them whole. The following is a list of albums by some of the most influential, well known illustrators in the Arts Community. These artists are key figures in relation to how famous their art has become either by the success of the bands they worked for or the popularity of their own work.

1.Electric Wizard - Electric Wizard
2.Darkthrone - F.O.A.D.
3.Cradle Of Filth - Midian
4.Converge - Jane Doe
5.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

The Worst "Popular" Metal Albums

I realize the importance of these albums to the genres, and the influence they have had. however I do not find these albums really that great and pleasurable due to the competition and elimination through these decades of musical evolution. I respect these bands for releasing something so creative, conceptual and also brought us to the new dimension in the past.

1.Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
2.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes
3.Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder God
4.Accept - Restless And Wild
5.Accept - Balls To The Wall

Iron Maiden: Best To 15th Best (The Scientific Approach)

I've been a big Maiden fan for many a year and I always had my favourite four or five albums, but what I've done here is listened to each album again in the order of their release and given each song a score out of ten and then got the average for each album.
I've also tried to take into account production, artwork and musicianship etc, but ultimately it's the songs that make the album imo.
It's strictly my taste and I know it will differ from some people's choices but hey ho...enjoy!

1.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
2.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
3.Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
4.Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
5.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast

The Iron Maiden List

Because today is the 10 year anniversary of me purchasing my first Iron Maiden album, I decided to do what every other Maiden fan on this site has already done: create an "Iron Maiden album ranking" list. Yes, yet another one. Maiden was my first favourite metal band and remains one of my favourite bands to this day. They also opened up a whole new world of music for me and I can trace most of the stuff I've listened to since back to Maiden, either directly or indirectly. So, without further dudes, let us begin.

1.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
2.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
3.Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
4.Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
5.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
