Holy fail batman.

Seventh Son is in the bottom third of Maiden albums. Just move one sooner or later and you have a much better album.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #211 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:16:54 AM »

Glad to see Catch Without Arms on the list

Gorille85 · « **Reply #212 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:17:10 AM »

Seventh Son is one of my favorites Maiden records too.

Come on, everyone knows that Virtual XI is the only Maiden album worth listening to.

Ryzee · « **Reply #214 on:** June 09, 2011, 12:24:52 PM »

Count me in as part of the crowd declaring Seventh Son as the best Maiden album. To those who are saying they don't like it or are ranking it toward the bottom: WTF?

27.   Queensryche – Operation: Mindcrime (1988):
inb4 facebook chat haters. This album is just awesome, and it represents what all 80s metal bands have tried to do. Every single song on here just kicks ass, and it’s really fun to listen to. Also, the concept is very well done. I actually think it’s done better than Scenes From a Memory (inb4 haters).
Best songs: Suite Sister Mary, title track, I Don’t Believe in Love

26.   The Dear Hunter – Act III: Life and Death (2009):
This band, in just a few short months, has become one of my favorites. One thing I particularly love about this album is its use of horns and strings in songs like In Cauda Venenum and The Tank. Also, Casey’s vocal seem to me like they are significantly better than Act I and Act II, even though they were already fantastic.
Best songs: Life and Death, He Said He Had a Story, Mustard Gas.

25.   Porcupine Tree – Deadwing (2005):
aaand here we come to Porcupine Tree’s second album on my list. This was the first album I ever heard from them about 3 years ago. The first song I heard was “Shallow” and I loved it immediately. I still think that song is criminally underrated. FANTASTIC album. Mellotron Scratch is the best, fuck the haters.
Best songs: Mellotron Scratch, Start of Something Beautiful, Lazarus, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here

Mellotron Scratch is the best indeed.

Really? No Prayer for the Dying>Seventh Son?

Great choices!! Mindcrime rules, its my fave concept album of all time

glaurung · « **Reply #220 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:48:52 PM »

All of them are fantastic albums.

And screw the haters, O:M would definitely be in my top 50 too.

Heretic · « **Reply #221 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:50:15 PM »

Good choices. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here = <3

Ravenheart · « **Reply #222 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:57:40 PM »

All good choices

Jirpo · « **Reply #223 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:09:09 PM »

How the hell could people be possibly hating on O:M

I don't like it at all, personally. But hey. Act III is fucking awesome. Deadwing is cool too. This list keeps getting better!

Gadough · « **Reply #225 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:29:08 PM »

Ryan, for some reason I always thought you hated Queensryche. Now I know otherwise.

zxlkho · « **Reply #226 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:30:25 PM »

I hate every album besides O:M actually.

Gadough · « **Reply #227 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:31:02 PM »

Dude. Dedicated to Chaos is going to be fucking AWESOME. Just you wait.

zxlkho · « **Reply #228 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:31:49 PM »

lol

(btw, update again later tonight since I've been slow recently)

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #229 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:34:29 PM »

Meh. I could never get into Queensryche.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #230 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:49:37 PM »

What's so cool about Operation: Mindcrime is, it's the only Queensryche material worth listening to condensed to an hour for your listening pleasure.

Yeah that.

Also it kicks fucking ass.

zxlkho · « **Reply #232 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:12:29 PM »

Artwork tiem?

24. Brand New – The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me (2006):

A bit of a surprise maybe? Amazing album here. I used to think that Deja Entendu was better, but then I got to listening to this all the way though on Zack’s radioshow a few months ago. That really change my opinion on this album. Jesse Lacey is just a fantastic song writer and vocalist. Excellent album.
Best songs: Jesus, Degausser, Limousine

23. In Flames – Clayman (2000):

Yeah, I LOVE In Flames. They’ve been one of my favorite bands for close to 6 years, and that still hasn’t changed. You can argue that their newer material hasn’t been up to par, but I still really enjoy it (also the new album is REALLY GOOD). Clayman is undoubtedly the peak of their creativity, and every single song is enjoyable. One notable underrated song is “Only For the Weak”, which was voted out early in the In Flames survivor that I ran

.
Best songs: Only For the Weak, Bullet Ride, Clay Man, Pinball Map, Satellites and Astronauts, Swim…. fuck it just listen to the whole album!!

wolfking · « **Reply #233 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:36:27 PM »

Nice work with Queensryche and In Flames, Clayman is epic.

I've never heard of Brand New but that album cover is fantastic.

zxlkho · « **Reply #234 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:43:51 PM »

It's a fantastic album. Check it out man!

My list of bands to check out is getting bigger and bigger.

Will do though.

Jirpo · « **Reply #236 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:21:34 AM »

What sort of music is Brand New?

Nice choice with Clayman, though I prefer TJR. Clayman is probably second though

And I pretty much love all Queensryche up to and including Promised Land, but Mindcrime is my fave

Your list is still the best so far!

zxlkho · « **Reply #237 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:27:45 AM »

Brand New is like... alt rock/indie kinda. They're hard to describe, but definitely check them out.

Jirpo · « **Reply #238 on:** June 10, 2011, 01:12:51 AM »

Ok I will, the cover is intriguing

Yeah that's the impression I get. Sweet album nonetheless.

TJR & Colony > Clayman, even though it's great in its own right.

I don't know man. Based on the American Soldier album Geoff Tate must only have a 6 note range at this point in his career. He was great in the 80's and early 90's but not so much now. I admit that I only listened to parts of American Soldier and it seem like every song was in the same key and Geoff was sing the same notes only different words.

Maybe I just didn't endure it long enough but listening to American Soldier was work for me.

Zydar · « **Reply #241 on:** June 10, 2011, 06:07:42 AM »

Clayman! The title track is probably my favourite IF song.

"I feel so invincible, I'm the sculpture made of clay!"

I agree, Rage for Order and The Warning are amazing.
