Some Sadly Overlooked Gems
Some Sadly Overlooked Gems
This is a list of some albums that I feel aren't as appreciated as they should be.
1.
Ozzy Osbourne
- The Ultimate Sin
I mean...c'mon. This is dark, solid, and the songs stick in your head like glue. Pure quality.
|
2.
Iced Earth
- Burnt Offerings
Seems like this one gets the least praise of all their catalogue. I never uderstood why...
|
3.
Cryptopsy
- And Then You'll Beg
Ok, so DiSalvo ain't Worm, but his voice is monolithic, and this is as tight as the gears of the train within the cover.
|
4.
Yngwie Malmsteen
- Fire And Ice
Man, I can't even begin to show my confusion as to why this isn't bowed to. Just put on the title track. Go ahead. Try and deny the virtuosity.
|
6.
Brutality
- When The Sky Turns Black
What. The. Hell...!? This was in league with the bigshots, now virtually unheard of. Sad.
|
8.
Agathodaimon
- Blacken The Angel
Gothic-tinged black metal that is better than some of the better-known acts. Heard of this?
|
9.
Iron Maiden
- No Prayer For The Dying
Some say it's their worst. I say it's right there with the classics...if not better.
|
10.
Cannibal Corpse
- Gallery Of Suicide
I'm partial to the Barnes era, but...man...this one is lethal. Also underrated.
|
11.
Ancient
- Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends
Sure, it's much cheesier than their back catalogue. I, however, find this to be the best of 'em all. Besides...I think the cheese is a good topping. (It's vampyric black metal. What do you expect?)
|
12.
For My Pain
- Fallen
HIM-wish. For those random bouts of romantic sentiment. I never hear anyone even mention this.
|
13.
Immolation
- Here In After
It's always "Dawn of Possession" this, and "Dawn of Possession" that. What about THIS monster?!?!?
|
14.
Nocturnal Rites
- The 8th Sin
Pretty much...well, THEY are underrated. This one is my favorite by these Power Metal kings.
|
15.
Mayhem
- Wolf's Lair Abyss
If they would've continued in this vein, it could've been ridiculously awesome. This EP seems to get minor attention compared to their last few full-lengths, which weren't as viciously consistent.

Cool list! But why do you think ''Burnt Offerings'' is their most overlooked? It gets a huge amount of praise, both in terms of music in general and in respect to their discography. I would go as far as to say it's their most praised tbh.

Posts: 293 Written by TrollandDie on 08.05.2013 at 23:22 Well...it's because of all the metal circles I've run in, plus Mr. Schaffer's own feelings, state that it's a lesser release. All the metalheads I associate with seem to favor everything but that one (well, except for the s/t). I don't know why. Perhaps it a geographical difference? (Also - thanks for reading!)

Well, a good list. To me, 01, 09, 10, 11 & 13 are really overlooked. 02, 05 & 14 are still bad by far. I hope more albums could be added on this list.
