My Favourite Albums
My Favourite Albums
The goats. The near perfect albums that never get old. Some are full of catchy bangers I'm always humming, and some are so full to the brim of details that I still haven't even uncovered them all.
*Only includes MS albums right now.
(I use 'perfect' lightly as it makes no sense for a man-made creation to be flawless. 'Perfect' is simply a term to outline how high a level of enjoyment is, specifically the level of enjoyment when minor faults become insignificant.)

Very cool list. Diverse too and so different from my own favs. Also if you wouldn't have told us we wouldn't know you're young! Good picks for a young metalhead.

Posts: 1251 Written by Guib on 18.08.2023 at 03:03 Thanks for checking out my list, very glad to hear it! While I appreciate the classics they don't speak to me the way these albums do. So I'm glad I don't have basic zoomer taste

Posts: 3528 Written by 24emd on 18.08.2023 at 04:28 I mean music is so subjective and a lot of it is also linked to nostalgia and what first introduced us to something. Don't worry I don't think any taste is basic really. I don't play much in the whole generational conflict gimmick.
