Here's mine. Ahead of each one is what, IMO, are the genres of each album 2024: Julie Christmas - Ridiculous And Full Of Blood (Sludge, Noise) 2023: Host - IX (Rock, Synth) 2022: Final Light - Final Light (Sludge, Synthwave) 2021: Sleigh Bells - Texis (Alternative, Power Pop, Electronic) 2020...

Inspired by THIS post by @Collin, I thought it was cool to narrow the roster a bit. I also think that it's a cool way to see what people here listen to outside of metal. Obviously, a pertinent question is paramount from the get go: what is "Metal" and what is not. That I'll leave to each one...

I disagree with both reviews but then again everyone has his own preferences. If I was to group the band's releases it would be something like: Mandatory: "Endtyme", "Soul Sacrifice" (EP), "Forest Of Equilibrium": ("heavy as hell" Cathedral at their best IMO, some borders Death/ Doom). "The...

Mmmmm... Let's see what is roughly my favorite 20 tracks by the composers/ teams in question: (Harris) Phantom Of The Opera Murders In The Rue Morgue The Number Of The Beast The Trooper To Tame A Land Aces High Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Caught Somewhere In Time Heaven Can Wait The Loneliness...

Because in part of what @frus said IMO they should focus on specific songs that proved before that work awesomely with slight studio orchestration elements. 2 or 3 must plays should be add up also. And yes, this would be a great chance to finally play Empire Of The Clouds. IMO, something like...

Awesome band. Apart from The VII th Coming and The Guessing Game (kinda meh IMO) Cathedral are among the best of the best in Doom Metal as far as I'm concerned.

IMO one could make two massive records out of them. The first steps have been referred to a zillion times and I couldn't agree more: a) stop making F**ING one note guitar lines mimicking the vocal melody. b) stop repeating some sections ad aeternum. c) if you want to recycle melodies, don't...

Nice work @MindRuler . All Maiden covers next? :D :D :D :D

BTW... Dance Of Death still has no votes. WTF? :D:D:D:D

Absolutely no problem! I agree... It would be nice to gather all Maiden covers (albums, eps, singles) and make something in the same format @MindRuler did. I'm all in.

And that doesn't work just for SFSGSW... avoid at all costs the remixes. IMO they sound way worse than the originals.

Couldn't agree more. I don't think it's that awful but yeah... it leaves a lot to be desired quality wise. And that sticks out like a sore thumb among what I consider to be nothing but excellent tunes. Even so, I concur that if it, was the last song, it would be perfect, since: a) instead of...

Here we're 100% on the same page. No Prayer has stuff that, while not being top tier, is criminally underrated. Fates Warning and Run Silent Run Deep are the most flagrant examples IMO, yet I also like Public Enema Number One, No Prayer For The Dying and Mother Russia a lot.

2 Mastodon - Leviathan + 1 1 Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper

Although I can 100% spot the AC/DC influences on From Here To Eternity, I kinda have a different feel when it comes to Chains Of Misery. I think it moves more along in the line of early 80's Dio. And truth be told IMO it's an ok tune, unlike FHTE and other subpar material from the same album...

Maiden is well known for their excellent artworks on every record cover (well, almost every one). Pick your six favorite ones from the list
