First albums are in!

46. Apocalyptica- Reflections: After a long time of searching for symphonic metal w/o vocals, I finally came across this album. And it was exactly what I was looking for! What suprised me even more was that the only instruments being used (besides the drums and occasional piano/guitar) were cellos. And man can these guys play. This is my favorite album by the band. The lead sounds of the cello being played over metal is just astounding on this album. And the slow soft songs are beautful as well.


47. Slipknot- Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses: Wait. Slipknot? You put Slipknot on your list!? Well, yeah. This album deserves to be on the list. By their third album, the band finally began stretching out their wings and progressing in their style. More experimental songs and sections appeared, beautiful acoustic songs were brought to light, and still the metal (non-debateable) kept punishing. Im nowhere near a maggot, but you have to be deaf to call this album anything less then great.

48. Nonpoint- To the Pain: One of my favorite nu-metal/rap-rock albums. When I first heard "Bullet with a Name" on the radio a few summers ago, I knew I had to get this. And when I did, I fell in love with it. Heavy and aggressive, but still very melodic in places. The bass isnt usually heard in the heavier songs, but when you can hear it in softer sections, its really a pleasure to listen to. I really love every song on this album, and it doesnt carry very many weak spots in it as a whole. Album flows wonderfully also.


49. Tokyo Jihen- Adult: Suprising that a J-pop album is on my list? Perhaps. But this is one awesome album. The songs go from slow, near-atmospheric keyboard melodies, to straight out rockin' tunes. And even with the differences in sounds, the albums still flows beautifully. The bass and drums are what really stood out to me, but everything in this band is wonderful. Definately worth a listen.


50. My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade: I heard a lot about MCR and the whole "emo" scene, which I am not a fan of. But I decided to check out this album based on reading a lot of good reviews for it. So, after getting it and listening to it, I realized that this was trualy a gem in an oversaturated genre. The singing in this album is outstanding, the rhythms are catchy and a blast to listen to, and the energy of the band never slows down. I dont about anything else from MCR, but this album is definately worth being on the list.

Alright my friends, heres the next five!

41. Gorillaz- Demon Days: A classic album from the pop/trip-hop/hip-hop/electronica...well, I think you get the point. Gorillaz is a "virtual" band, consisted only of a few members. Their musical styles had a lot of range in their debut album, but here they sound so much more polished and refined. The music is overall pretty laid-back, but its definately not lazy. Its a fun album to listen to, sometimes having a comical aspect to it, and it really doesnt have any filler tracks (besides the intro). Every song on here has something special in it, and its just a fun and entertaining album throughout.


42. Ferry Corsten- L.E.F.: One of my first trance albums. I heard the name here and there in school, but never got to look into it. But finally one day, I was able to get my hands on this album, and I've loved it since. The songs are overall very energetic and fun, but even when the music is slowed down to a mellow bass over a beat, its really beautiful and relaxing to listen too. This album is hurt by some filler, but the strong tracks are strong enough to carry this album onto my list.


43. UNKLE- Psyence Fiction: One of my favorite downtempo and trip hop albums. With the world-renowned DJ Shadow at the helm of the production, I knew this had to be a good album. And I wasnt let down. The beats are fantastic as usual, and the vocal appearences in some of these songs are...pure bliss (Look up: "Bloodstain", one of the most awesome trip-hop songs I've listened too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBZ8LzPC48M). Even when the music isnt laid back, its very upbeat and sometimes almost rock-ish. Anyways, a great album and features some classic trademarks of the great DJ Shadow.


44. Human Abstract- Nocturne: One of the first metal/mathcore albums that I was able to listen to and enjoy. The technicality and aggressiveness in this album is stunning. Each song here has something that makes it special, nearly giving each of them it own personality. The vocals might put some off, but although he isnt the best in the genre, he is good enough. What really stunned me when I first listened to this album, was the few soft songs on here (Namely Desiderata). They are absolutely beautiful. Some of the guitar work in the aformentioned song actually reminded me of Opeth's acoustic guitar-work. Anyways, great album, great band.


45. Boards of Canada- Geogaddi: One of BOC's highest rated albums, and one of the most relaxing, yet haunting electronica albums I've heard. When I bought this, I didnt know whether to expect some upbeat techno, or near-post rock stuff. The result is a casual mix between the two. The album as a whole has a very...warm, and yet dark, atmosphere throughout (Almost like the album cover; warm, yet mysterious). and even with its warmth, it feels...distant. Thats the closest I can get to describing the unique sound of the album. The samples used in many of the songs also add greatly to the depth and feeling of the album. Personally I've always liked reading or studying with this album on, but when you start listening to the details in the music, its easy to get carried away.

Some interesting choices.

Why do you post the list backwards? I mean, 41 first and 45 last?

Gotta run to work so I cant type much, but heres the next few ;) A few more recognizable ones in this batch.

40. Dredg- Catch Without Arms: My first Dredg album, and my most listened to one. They shifted into a more mainstream direction with this album, but that did nothing to stop their creative writing and songs. Definately a band that deserves more attention. The album goes from straight rocking songs (Bug Eyes, Ode) to slowed down and more experimental tracks (Zebraskin, Sang Real). Definately one of the best "indie" albums I've heard.

39. Symphony X- The Divine Wings of Tragedy: My first SymX album and still the one that I keep coming back to. Every song on here is very strong, the only weak song being Pharoah (Though its still kinda catchy). Russell shines on this album throughout and the instruments stand out for immensely.

38. The Blue Nile- Hats: Classified as New Wave/Romantic pop, this album from '89 features very melancholy and soft music. The vocals, and the music overall, are very laid-back which makes it a very relaxing listen. Its a perfect album to listen to while taking an evening walk outside.

37. Dream Theater- Octavarium: What do I need to say? One of DT's most accesible, and yet intriguing albums due to its whole "concept/theme". I honestly like all the tracks on here, my faves being These Walls and the title track. Not many weak points on here.

36. Linkin Park- Hybrid Theory: Linkin Park; the band that helped me get into heavier music. This is LP's debut album, and its really packs a punch to it. It showcases a great amount of aggressiveness, and can really get you moving. Nearly all the songs on this album had "single" written all over it, and that just shows how strong of an album it is.

The cookies are fresh out the oven!

31. U2- War: My favorite album by U2. Although many prefer The Joshua Tree or The Unforgettable Fire, I feel that this is one of their most accesible and catchiest releases. I really feel all the songs here are unique and stand strong on their own through time. Bono's voice carries his emotion very well, and all the instruments are spot on. Refugee was the only song on the album I dont really like. Otherwise, this album is definately one of my favorites.

32. Novembre- Materia: I love this band. And I love all of their releases. But when it came down to it, I had to choose this album for this spot. I've always appreciated the band for their deep use of atmosphere in their songs, heavy or not. It just mizes so well with the style. And on this album its really perfected. The vocals (which are sometimes sung in Italian) are overall very melancholy and they just add to the depth of the music. This is for fans of Katatonia and Opeth.

33. Deltron 3030- Deltron 3030: Actually an album I recently discovered. Featuring the rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien, famous of Gorillaz rap songs (Ex: Clint Eastwood). For a rap album, this cd is pretty epic. Its described as a "rap opera concept album set in a dystopian year 3030". The style of Del's rapping fits this theme wonderfully, adding a comical twist to an otherwise bleak theme. For fans of the Gorillaz rapping songs, or just hip-hop in general.

34. Epica- The Divine Conspiracy: My favorite Epica album. Its heavy and hard-hitting, and yet those vocals...dont get me started. Simone Simmons has one of the most beautiful and elegant voices in the symphonic metal scene (in any scene really) and she really shines on this album. I absolutely love her vocals over the heavy sound of the music. Most people will complain about the growls, but although he really isnt a good growler at all, they somehow fit the music in my opinion. Heavy symphonic metal with outstanding vocals.

35. Opeth- Blackwater Park: A DTF classic. My first Opeth album (and album with growls). When I first listened to this album, I didnt like the first track so much. But when the Bleak-Harvest- Drapery Falls combo hit, this immediately became a favorite for me at that very instant. The growling on this album is suberb, and you can actually understand what Mikael is saying. And his singing...my goodness. When I first heard him sing after all the growling, I couldnt believe it was the same person. No, really. I looked up the band on wikipedia that day to see if there was another member that sang in the band. Anyways, this is a beautiful, heavy, dark, and just awesome album.

But you already knew that :tup

Ok, heres a few more for you all! :metal

30. Kanye West- Graduation: "How dare I rank Kanye on this list! And above some of the other album?! Youre kidding me?!" No, im not kidding. Does he have an ego the size of Texas? Yes. Is he pretty rude to people in general? Yes. But im not ranking people, im ranking albums. And this album lisves up to its title, Graduation. His rapping style is comical and light-hearted, the beats are pretty cool throughout, and every song on this album is a hit. Only filler here that I dont like is Barry Bonds. Besides that, everything else is just aces in my book.


29. Incubus- Morning View: After moving away from the more energetic and fun style of their previous two albums, here they finally settle into a more mature sound. You can definately see the progression and changes this band made while listening to this album, compared to previous outings. They still keep alot of their signature sound, but its much more refined in this album. Awesome alternative/rap-rock album.


28. DJ Krush- Stepping Stones: The Self-Remixed Best: One of Japans most popular and talented DJ's. This album is actually a few of his past songs remixed by himself, and he does an outstanding job on this. The beats are sometimes hard-hitting, and othertimes their very organic and atmospheric. Fans of turntablism and hip-hop DJ's will enjoy this one.


27. Riverside- Second Life Syndrome: A great album by a great band. Outstanding musicianship by all members, but the guitar really stands out to me. Not the most technically advanced playing that I've heard, but the solos, riffs, and everything else; they just perfectly blend in and seem "right" for the band. Everything just fits. The vocals are also one of my favorite things in this album. From soaring and soothing to angry and near-growling.


26. Michael Jackson- Thriller
: A classic. Whether you like MJ himself or not, this album has withstood the test of time and will likely do so for the next century. Every song on here is an instant hit and classic, and theres really not anything bad to say about this album. This is definately the zenith of MJ's career and THE definanitive pop album.

Falling behind a bit, but still pretty close.

Close enough. I'd be interested in seeing your top 50 albums list also if you ever think you'd get the chance.

Also thanks for following my thread :tup; I dont think many are sticking in, lol

Your addition of so many rap/R&B/trip-hop/WTF-hop shows why lacking diversity in music is a good thing  :biggrin:

I think I'd rather be waterboarded than listen to those, but like I said earlier, your list does have some redeeming qualities, like reminding me I forgot to check out Epica and still have to do that.
