    GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Winner: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

    I missed the round in which my nominee appeared yet again. It seems to have advanced though so all is well.

    Biologically, sexual deprivation leads to increased testosterone levels that may provoke reckless sexual behavior until sexual release happens if said deprivation reaches a certain level. Males have more testosterone so sexual deprivation happens more quickly for them - it's also the reason why...

    GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Winner: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

    Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II - Vastly superior album to its competitor and has enough credentials as a proto-metal record to be in this game. (Will easily falter against better metal competition, though) Kreator - Enemy of God - By default as it's going up against a non-metal album. Bruce...

    If it's ewoking some sort of positive feeling, an appreciation, then it is doing something right. It's irrelevant whether it fits your high ideal of how that art is supposed to be done. Your sentiment goes against the very nature of artistic evolution, and I regret to say it's the very same...

    @JudasMyGuide I get your sentiment, but craftsmanship and creativity aren't mutually exclusive, I'm afraid. It is therefore possible for someone who has the creativity but is inadequate from a craftsmanship standpoint to achieve a more impressive, beautiful, poignant etc. work of art than...

    Dream Theater

    I think progressive metal has the best covers in metal because the bands usually go for abstract imagery rather than cartoonish stuff or huge models/scenes.

    Awake is my favorite album cover from them, one of my favorites by any band, in fact.

    Opeth

    Err, that's also a time-related consideration. Long rehearsal period.

    Opeth

    That probably is the reason. It's a bit of a chicken-out situation though. They have two guitarists and a keyboardist.

    Opeth

    I expected this. Opeth can't afford to do a full-on request setlist for one very simple reason: Time. The same would be true for any band with so many long songs in their discography. Imagine if the longest song wins the poll for each album. I'm sure he's already started practicing it. In...

    GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Winner: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

    Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog - This SoaD album is interesting but annoying at certain bits. Not a huge fan of the more chilled out approaches of the grunge scene, but TotD is decent and has some great vocals. Death - Scream Bloody Gore - Glad to have come back from my temporary hiatus...

    GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Winner: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son!

    Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II - The bro metal approach of New American Wave of Heavy Metal bands wears on me very quickly. Led Zeppelin II isn't a metal record but its proto-metal credentials are enough for it to get the vote over much inferior competition. Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol - I...

    Biggest rivalry in France. If I recall correctly, the main cause for the animosity is Marseille beating PSG to the title by match-fixing in 1993.

    I share the sentiment. Most Turkish localizations of English material are cringe-inducing. YouTube does it on popular videos sometimes and it's awful. It probably annoys me more than the average person because it's my field of work, too. "Smells of translation", as we like to call it.

    People are only objecting because it doesn't fit the premise of the game.
