Devin Townsend
Exodus
Opeth
And wow that's all I can think of.. There are alot of bands that don't ever make it to 6 albums though.

Exodus? I would certainly classifiy Impact Is Imminent as a dud and Force As Habit as well, and SHovel headed Kill Machine to a lesser extent and also both exhibit albus to a lesser extent

I like Tempo, Shovel, both Exhibits, bonded by blood and Pleasures of the flesh.. which also happens to be all the ones I own (well I have let there be blood too).

Nowhere did I mention Tempo as a dud. Because I think it's still the best comeback album ever by a thrash band and in my book it is a modern day thrash classic

Suicidal Tendencies for sure

On the contrary, I think How Can I Laugh Tomorrow... and LCR the only good albums they ever did.

On the contrary, I think almost every album they did is good.

If You say so...

Death
Anaal Nathrakh
Blind Guardian
Summoning

Sure there are many more but they are just a few off the top of my head.

while i am not fond of most their post-90 stuff, i disagree with your assessment... their self-titled debut is a fucking awesome album and easily their best.

I liked Insitutionalized, but that was it. Just can't get into it as much as their Thrash-era stuff.

Lights... Camera... Revolution! is the tits.

Shame on me for not saying Rush. Shhhh, all their albums are average or better

Kalmah, Benighted, Gamma Ray, Iron Savior, Dark Tranquillity, Symphony X, and Esoteric come to mind for me. Some may disagree with me on one or two of these bands, but I'd say they all have quite a solid discography.

Opeth has a solid discography. So does Shadow Gallery.

Problem with Opeth for me is their horrendous last one Heritage

I like Heritage but I wont be paying Opeth any attention if they continue in that style, It was good for a one off but they cant make a career out of copying old prog rock bands.

Deliverance sucks as well.

Why is everyone ragging on Heritage anyway? Its an amazing album and quite varied, keeping the listener from beginning to end. I never know what to expect; there are many twists and turns. It is an exciting album. I hope that the next Opeth album is just like Heritage; perhaps, another take on it. Heritage is a lot more adventurous of an album than any of their previous releases. They could easily take the death metal sound and mix it into the sound that they have on Heritage; that would kick ass. I would love to hear that on their next release. Who knows what Opeth will do again. They might just put out another album like Heritage. I think that you need to explain yourself with a tad bit more detail.

There are some things on Heritage that I don't like. That introduction song is so boring. It does nothing for me. It is quite a let down. It goes absolutely nowhere, and then all of a sudden, what the fuck? Opeth just brings on the next song with no warning. Usually, on other albums, they develop a quiet and haunting keyboard overlay and turn it into a masterpiece around the 4-5 minute mark, and then mold it into a brilliant masterpiece of a second track. On Heritage, that falls flat with The Devil's Orchard. There are also a lot of ideas in songs like Nepenthe, Häxprocess and Famine that easily could have been fleshed out more. This album could have been a lot longer. The title track along with The Devil's Orchard could have played off of each other quite well.

Based upon his binge tonight, Marcel is going to be mighty hungover tomorrow. this should be entertaining...

The album is varied, but I find it totally predictable and unimaginative music. It is clear that Akerfeldt shopped around in his 60s and 70s prog collection more or less copy pasting from there.

Crowbar.

Sunn O)))

Admittedly there's not a huge amount of variation in the music but each of their releases is at least good.

I'm sure I can pick atleast 2 duds out of each band there, but I guess that's just me ^^

Blind Guardian...even the "weak" A Twist In The Myth is still good enough
Iron Maiden...with the possible exception of Virtual XI, but worse 1 from 15 is acceptable, or?
Moonsorrow...anyone doubts this choice?
Nightwish...i can honestly say i enjoyed all albums including DPP and - that one especially - Imaginaerum
Sabaton...you may disagree, but i simply love them from the first demo till last bonus of Carolus Rex
Summoning...their old demos are more like "wtf?", Minas Morgul wasnt that superior, but since then, it is one majestic masterpiece over another

so that would be my list...some other bands i have a suspicion, but i dont know their entire discography, so i cant tell honestly

Dimmu Borgir? At least I don't think any of them are duds.

I'm assuming this means a rating of 6 and above... even though you say "thoroughly enjoy"... i'll go with the "duds" part
Earth
Sunn 0)))
Neurosis
Dying Fetus
Blut Aus Nord
Bolt Thrower (ehhh, kind of)
Yob
Xasthur (another kind of...)
Shining

I am not sure if you are serious about you not understanding him

I would say he is asking if a dud is anything lower than 6.

well, seeing a 6 means average and a 5 not good, I would say it is
