Are these the essential metal albums?
>>130629812Could be
>>130629812Nope, these are.
>>130629812Donda isn’t a metal album
>>130629812>no slipknotdiscarded
>>130629812needs filosofem
>>130629812Remove core shit and maybe.
>>130629812Lots of classics, wrong albums for cannibal, sepultura, immortal and darkthroneWould add gorguts - obsura>>130630914You mean hvis lysset tar os
>>130629812>Slaughter of the SoulReplace it with their demo, or The Gallery, or Whoracle.
>>130629812>>130631012Also>no Celtic FrostTo Mega Therion belongs on every essential list.
>>130630922>>130631015>"Leave only irrelevant garbage nobody cares about" No wonder metal died, "metal purists" are retarded faggots that ruin the experience for everyone else.
>>130632907based take
>>130629812Almost all these are considered classics, so I guess sure. There are many classic albums that one might argue are exemplars of certain subgenres that are missing, or maybe that some albums should be replaced because more exemplary records exist for some of the metal subgenres that are represented, but it's fine. I personally don't care for many of these, but such a list isn't supposed to be about any singular person's taste, but rather about a collective consensus.
>>130630146Not metal
>>130632907>>130632933What the fuck do my comments have to do with whatever you're sperging about? I just listed classic albums and I HOPE people listen to them because they're good and deserve to be on such lists. Nothing purist about that.
Where is all the racist metal? Bad chart.
>>130629812>no Rootsyikes
Good morning /shreddit/
>>130629812why do all metal albums have to be evilwhy can't they write a metal song about love
>>130633484https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tymWpEU8wpM
>>130631015Let's be honest Celtic Frost is all noise
>>130632980If you're going by consensus, then sales should definitely be accounted for, some albums in there didn't sell even 50k copies, that alone should disqualify it from being "essential", unless the subgenre is so niche, that those microscopic numbers still place it in the top 5.
>>130633619and that's a good thing
>>130633484plenty metal songs about love and nice shit
Black Sabbath first album instead of ParanoidBathory's debut is the less interesting of the classic first six.Bristish Steel is one of Priest's weakest albums. Stained Class is my choice.Number of the Beast is the weakest of the Dickinson classic era.Tomb is the weakest of Cannibal Corpse Barnes era.At the heart of Winter is where Immortal turned into ridiculous shit. Chaos A.D. was the beggining of the end of Sepultura.Imaginatios or Somewhere are way better albums than Nightfall in Middle Earth.Carcass best is, without any doubt, Symphonies of Sickness.At the Gates best work is Gardens of Grief.Solo albums by Dio and Ozzy, Mastodon and Electric Wizard don't deserve to be in an "essentials" list.
>>130629812So I take it you don't ever go in cars or take trains either?
>>130629812here's where it's at.
>>130633484what you're looking for is power metal
>>130633619HEYYI SAID HEYYYYYYY
>>130632907>wahhhh we are metal tooooo!!!!!!Lmao butthurt core faggot. Stick to sludge metal you cuck
>>130629812Yeah probably, those are all good albums, or albums you should know about if you're a "metalhead", although you don't need that gay 90s Sepultura album that sounds like Homeboy ass Pantera, you also don't need ulver, neurosis (nigga beats his kids geg) or Mastadon (why the fuck are they there? not metal at all) also that Queensryche record is overrated, listen to the EP and the first two records, they are way better. Also, listen to the first two Death records instead of the 90s hipster junk, and if you like Alters of madness, listen to "Abominations of Desolation" its a lot betterBut, I'll say this, you have a lack of Thrash. As the reisdent "Mu Thrasher" I'd say this. You should listen to (at minimum) Exodus-Bonded by blood, Sacrifice-Torment In Fire, Razor-Violent Restitution, listen to kill em all and ride the lightning instead of that mid-ass Master of puppets (I like four songs of that record) You also gotta check out Sodom, In the sign of evil, Kreator Pleasure to kill, Destruction's Infernal Overkill, Hirax's first two records, Whiplash's first two records, Incubus Serpent Temptations, Rigor Mortis Rigor Mortis, Morbid Saint's first album, and the first four Overkill records.
>>130629812Where's Papa Roach?
>>130638811>Carcass best is, without any doubt, Symphonies of Sickness.That's not Necroticism
>>130629812Duckshit Pitchforkcore list. Looks like something that Anthony Fantano would have recomended back in 2013 before his favorite artsits were olivia Rodriguez or whatever.No Venom? no Hellhamer or Celtic Frost? No Sepultura execpt for the shitty ass proto-Nu metal wigger junk? WTF? there should be atleast five more Brazilian bands, not even INRI is makes no fucking sense. Not Enough Australian Metal either desu.Blasphemy needs to be on there, Beherit, Archgoat, Impiety, Revenge, Bestial Warlust,Morbosidad all of those should be on there.Oh and Swedish Death metal Left Hand Path, Like an everflowing stream, and Into the Grave should be there minimum. I'm glad there's no Bolt Thrower tho! that's the only good thing about this list.
>>130633619Yeah, really catchy noise.
>>130629812
>>130643360faggot
>>130643493Bolt Thrower fucking suck. Boring bad, boring riffs, boring vocals, boring leftwing politics. The only, and I mean only reason why anyone gives a fuck about that band is because of the Le epic Warhammer 40k cover art and lyrics. Bolt thrower fans are nerds that like Warhammer and D&D slop. Death metal should be about Satan, gore or zombies, not nerd shit.
>>130643516if you're not comfortable with nerd shit you don't belong in metal.
>>130630006>avenge sevenfold Lmao. Ok, faggot.
>>130629812Many of them are, many of them absolutely NOT.
>>130643729Nerd shit belongs in power metal, or trad metal. Extreme metal was not about nerd shit. Extreme metal is meant to be offensive
>>130644199>Extreme metal is meant to be offensiveBullshit
>one of the worst sabbath albums>the objectively wrong priest album >no reign in blood
>>130645457Fuck me im blind, RiB is right there
>>130644199yeah we get that you're entirely preoccupied with your image and you think listening to war metal is a daring fashion statement
>>130629812Neurosis isn't metal.And purists shit on that At the gates album.Also wtf is Sepultura's first nu-metal album doing there?
>>130629812I'm not even a metalhead and i know all of those except the unc butttock ones.most cringe shit that i would remove:>mastodon>meshuggah>ulver
>>130629812>dissection>queensryche>ozzylol
>>130646581Dissection is cool, it mogs most BM while not even being BM, and it's more street cred (real thug)
>>130629812>replace Paranoid with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath>replace British Steel with Screaming for Vengeance >add some Kreator
>>130643920Nightmare is one of the best metal albums ever, mogs pleasure to kill/Ride The Lightning, along with over half of OP picks.
>>130629812what do we mean by essential? most influential? most representative of the different sounds that define the genre? highest quality? doesn't matter because my list doesn't meet any of those criteria.
