No it's not.

They're pretty close, but I prefer ItCotCK.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #107 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:01:14 PM »

Dummy is an ace album. Good choice.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #108 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:05:03 PM »

I'm guessing your next entries will be Porcupine Tree, Ulver and Pink Floyd

zxlkho · « **Reply #109 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:05:27 PM »

Good guess, but they aren't.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #110 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:07:02 PM »

My next best guesses would be Brokencyde, Attack Attack! and Slipknot

zxlkho · « **Reply #111 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:07:33 PM »

Shit how did you know?

37. King Crimson – In The Court of the Crimson King (1969):

Dude honestly, it isn't about the music really. It's the whole culture of it that I dislike.

I'm the biggest goody two-shoes white boy you'll ever meet. And I still love it. If you can get past those cultural barriers, you can discover a whole world of awesome underground hip hop.

While that criticism may be valid for their first album

No way, One Day Remains is one of the greatest albums ever.

But Blackbird is a good choice!

Court of the Crimson King rocks, too.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #120 on:** June 07, 2011, 06:21:05 AM »

Nice to see Alter Bridge but I like "One Day Remains" more.

I haven't checked out the other two bands.

zxlkho · « **Reply #121 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:17:31 AM »

36. Metallica – Master of Puppets (1986):
Well I’ve already mentioned before what this band used to mean to me. I suppose I would have considered this my favorite album of all time a few years ago. That’s certainly not the case anymore. Still though I find that I keep coming back to this album from time to time and wonder why everyone hates on this band so much. There are some fantastic PROGRESSIVE thrash songs on here that I think deserve more respect than people give them. Anyway this is a great album no matter what anyone says (the same cannot be said for all of their albums after AJFA).
Best songs: Orion, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium

35. Porcupine Tree – Fear of a Blank Planet (2007):
The first time I heard this album, “Anesthetize” absolutely blew my mind into pieces. Every second of it was epic: the beautiful atmospheres, awesome riffs, and INSANE drumming from Gavin Harrison. However, The best part about this album isn’t actually the album itself. It’s the songs played live on the Anesthetize DVD (

).
Best songs: Anesthetize, Way Out of Here, Sentimental.

34. Opeth – Still Life (1999):
This album has Mikael Akerfeldt’s best vocals. By far. This album has Opeth’s best riffs. By Far. Those two statements would make you believe that this is my favorite Opeth album right? Well I guess you’ll have to wait and see. The vocals are what stands out the most though, particularly on tracks like Serenity Painted Death

. One thing that troubles me about this album though is the concept. I’ve never felt the need to read up on it and figure out what it means. I’m not sure whether this is the fault of the album or me being a lazy fuck. Either way, this is a fantastic album.
Best songs: The Moor, Serenity Painted Death, Godhead’s Lament

Yes I know my writeups are shit.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #122 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:20:51 AM »

Strong picks, but incorrect Metallica album/best songs.

zxlkho · « **Reply #123 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:21:44 AM »

No definitely not.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #124 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:24:39 AM »

I love FOABP and Still Life but both bands have much better albums.

zxlkho · « **Reply #125 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:25:36 AM »

Well no shit, we're only in the 30's.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #126 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:30:21 AM »

You should really look up the storyline behing Still Life, it's a great concept IMO!

This. MAYH has a cool concept as well.

Gadough · « **Reply #128 on:** June 07, 2011, 11:08:08 AM »

The concept of Still Life, in a super duper condensed version:

The Moor - The main character is banished from his village, presumably for religious reasons. He is hated by the villagers. He notes that he hates everyone as well, but returns to the village years later for his love, Melinda.

Godhead's Lament - The main character adopts a disguise and wanders throughout the town. He sees that Melinda has become a nun. Obviously, this is a problem, because nuns are forbidden to love or get married.

Benighted - This is just a love letter to Melinda. It doesn't really advance the plot, it's just the main character expressing his feelings.

Moonlapse Vertigo - The main character is reminded that he is in immense danger due to the Council of the Cross' influence on the town. He has little time left, so he decides it's now or never, and presents himself to Melinda.

Face of Melinda - He talks to Melinda and tells her of his feelings for her. We learn that she is also still in love with him, despite being married to the church.

Serenity Painted Death - The next day, the main character finds that Melinda's throat has been slit. Apparently, the Council of the Cross found out that she had been unfaithful to the church. In a bloodthirsty rage, the main character goes on a killing spree in the town. Full of fatigue, he collapses.

White Cluster - He awakens to find he has been taken into custody and will be hanged. Everyone is in attendance. At the hanging, right before he dies, he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns around to see Melinda's ghost standing there. He realizes that they will forever be together in the afterlife, and dies.

I'll never understand the big deal about Master of Puppets.

FoaBP and Still Life are great, though. The story running through Still Life is beautiful.

Three excellent albums!

I don't know why you think Metallica are hated, they have tons of fans here.

Wow. Never knew that the concept was that specific. I haven't been able to make it through this album with all the cookie monster stuff but "Face of Melinda" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It is absolutely brilliant. Even better is the absence of the ridiculous cookie monster.

zxlkho · « **Reply #139 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:38:44 PM »

It takes time to adjust to that vocal style, but it's sooooooo worth it. That album is so good.

News: DreamTheaterForums is a place for people who just don't have the time for music anymore.
