Metal community, all subgenres welcome.

It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

I don't recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10... whatever's easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It'll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone's catalog is better, etc.

I'll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

Not in order and from the top of my head.

  • Paul Chain, Park Of Reason
  • Devin Townsend, Ocean Machine: Biomech
  • Korn, Issues
  • Type O Negative, Bloody Kisses
  • Arcturus, The Shame Mirror

Love that Arcturus album. Probably my favorite of theirs, though Aspera Heims... has my favorite guitar solo of all time on it, so I waffle on that sometimes.

Yes that's a strong contestant for me as well :)

Ocean Machine is such a clutch album. One of my favorite non-SYL Townsend albums, along with Punky Brüster.

Fuck yeah, not enough Type O fans out there. Bloody Kisses and October Rust battle it out in my mind for top position

What about World coming down or Life is killing me? I find the album's that document the band and Peter's struggles easier to connect with at an emotional level than the previous - admittedly great - albums where it sometimes felt like the band was intentionally parodying the goth scene.
