Top lists
Top 500 Albums of All Time I've been listening to Metal since 2005 and it has become my biggest passion in life.
Rarely a day goes by where I don't listen to it in one form or another. The bands I listened to in my teens inspired me to pick up the guitar (and later drums) and start making music of my own. So here are the albums that have stood out and made the largest impact on me. To be as transparent as possible, I've labelled albums as 'nostalgia bias' where my memories of the album give it an advantage over others. (Score is an average of each album's song ratings, full list located here. There are a ton of albums that I've rated 9/10 in the 'TBR' tab that may never make it to this list, be sure to check those out.) If you discovered any new albums or like the same sort of metal, be sure to give this list a thumbs-up and leave a comment so more people can find these amazing bands! My other lists: Top 25 EPs (ordered & rated) Top 200 Overlooked Albums (with genres) Top 200 Overrated Albums (trigger warning) So I Heard You Like Wintersun... (Time II find new bands) Genre-Specific: Top 50 Black Metal Albums Top 50 Melodic Death Metal Albums Top 45 Thrash Metal Albums Top 40 Power Metal Albums Top 30 Doom Metal Albums Top 30 Heavy Metal Albums

2020 Album Ranking Seems like there's a limit on how many albums this site accepts on one list. Gonna have to cut out the last ones while adding new albums for the rest of the year.

2020: Jan-Jun If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not broke yet.
Character limit maxed in mid-May (lockdown increased my music intake too much), so needed to cut down some entries. I also gave up listing all the potential MSA candidates I ploughed through in late December

Daddy Rambo's Baadasssss Carnage Through 2020 Brutally honest take on new albums I have listened and rated/commented in 2020 from best to worst.
My ratings: ✮✮✮✮✮ = "Yippee ki yay, motherfucker!" ✮✮✮✮½ = "If it bleeds, we can kill it." ✮✮✮✮ = "Do you feel lucky, punk?" ✮✮✮½ = "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum." ✮✮✮ = "You're a disease? And I'm the cure." ✮✮½ = "Cowabunga!" ✮✮ = "I see dead people." ✮½ = "No not the bees! Aaaaahhhh!!1" ✮ = "It's turkey time. Gobble. Gobble." ½ = "I don't like sand."

Top 200 Alternative Metal Albums This is very simple, I took the ratings for a bunch of alternative metal albums on MS and ranked them accordingly
To qualify: The album must have been released when the band was labelled as "Alternative Metal" by MS. So for example the three most recent Gojira albums count, but early Gojira does not. The band must have more than 10 fans on MS Therefore this is not a reflection of my opinions, rather a reflection of numbers so if you wanna get mad, get mad at the numbers, not me. And remember that this really isn't that serious

Best Of 2020! First 18 in a order as I think its best. Yes in order so my best 18 albums what I can say were best. Really best from all!
Rest in order, just because I am selfish I wanna know what I have listen. I dont know how to put suxer albums A-Z or Z-A what sucks more, I chose A-Z system so from 369 all was bad, biggest led down is 369 then what I thought was let down but not so bad as that band.
