The only Morbid Angel album that gets regular spins nowadays on my side is Altars of Madness. Blessed are the sick is a good album but nothing I return to any more.
The same holds in a way for Carcass. I love Heartwork but dont find me visiting any other of their albums frequently.

Thanks, I'm definitely adding Blot Thrower in the next list, the early 90s ware great for metal releases, before it went down hell in the mid nineties

Weird not to see Loveless getting any love, but I guess it's fitting for the name.

Some others I love and haven't seen mentioned:
Swans - White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity
Primus - Sailing The Seas Of Cheese
Master's Hammer - Ritual
Melvins - Bullhead
Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow
Slint - Spiderland
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Coil - Love's Secret Domain
The Jesus Lizard - Goat
Drive Like Jehu - Drive Like Jehu
De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead
Primal Scream - Screamedelica
Queen - Innuendo

Loveless would be on my top 10 non metal albums of that year same with De La Soul, Talk Talk and Primal Scream albums.

Some of the other bands you mentioned will most likely be on futer lists, but I'm not the world biggest fan of Primus to be honest
