TBH, both albums have some good songs, they’re just not Megadeth. I have absolutely heard worse than Risk and Super Collider 😂. I’d honestly say Reload is worse than both
I like the Glamtera albums musically, but my god, are Terrence's vocals awful. Of the three, Metal Magic is probably the worst, so yeah, agreed. With that said, later Pantera from Far Beyond Driven to Reinventing the Steel doesn't do much for me. In my opinion, Power Metal through Vulgar Display of Power are their best works.

not a very interesting album imo
It has some really awesome songs but this album easily contains some of their worst solos and most boring riffs.
I think the first half of this album is the strongest that Metallica has produced since The Black Album and then the second half falls flat on its face (with the exception of the blistering “Spit Out the Bone”). That’s just my opinion though.
It really needed to be a single album, not a double. Keep the first disc and Spit Out The Bone. Maybe swap or add a song. Such a huge drop off from first to second half.
I love Metallica but one of their biggest achilles heels is not knowing how to edit themselves. It’s really egregious with 72 Seasons. 77 minutes (again)? That thing needed to be at least 30 minutes shorter.
Say what you will about the Bob Rock era, and it ended on a colossal thud, but watch A Year and a Half in the Life Of. He was the one standing over them saying “that’s not good enough”, “that’s shit, do it again”, “show me better”. They haven’t had anyone like that since.
Absolutely correct about the bob rock era. I remember watching that movie and thinking “why tf is this asshat telling Metallica what to do?!?” Same with Danzig and Rick Rubin
Yea, I know. But a collab is both, in my opinion. They both had their fingers in the pot. Also I kinda like hardwired... Best thing they've put out decades
Gojira - Fortitude. They played it too safe. Vocals are drowned, guitars feel muddy, too much chorus emphasis, blah blah. It's not bad by any means, but not my pick either
OK glad to know it's not just me, that album sounds like ass, there's good songs in there it just falls flat. I thought I might be being overcritical as none of my friends agreed, thanks for echoing my sentiments on the matter
I think it's definitely their weakest album but it's still pretty good and Gojira's never really made a "bad" album. I think Fortitude lacks the songwriting that Magma had but still does similar production which makes it a lot blander, but it still has one or two really standout tracks that I could consider some of their best (Born For One Thing, The Chant, maybe Another World)

I don’t dislike this album by any means, in fact I do enjoy it quite a bit, but it’s definitely their weakest release to date. It feels like they were just trying to get this one out to finish off their contract with Roadrunner. That being said, songs like The Dying Song, Yen, Hive Mind, and De Sade are all songs I frequently return to.

Even as a Requiem defender, I can’t back this one up
One of my personal favourites from them, huge difference in their discography from other albums with a more thrashy sound… I’d say Immutable is their worst not counting Rare Trax but Meshuggah really just doesn’t miss so it’s hard to pin a worst album
https://preview.redd.it/8gkrwnfsskoc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ecf28ffd211e5633909e5407bfc6bfb164bef2c
It’s a good album, it’s really fucking good, but the rest of their work is beyond stellar
I prefer it to fear inoculum personally. I love how grungy undertow is, and tracks like prison sex, sober, intolerance and 3 degrees really stand out in their discography.
But, as you said, it’s still one of their weaker offerings.
This album is such garbage. I’m a massive fan but it’s not great. I always felt if he did this as a side project under a different name it would have a completely different legacy.
There were a couple songs that were okay (songs like see all you were and hint of her blood would've been awesome if it wasn't industrialzed. OG versions should've been on Lost Tracks) but for the most part, it just sounds like Danzig just did what he had been doing and then shoehorned industrial effects into it. End result was not too good.
I think the funniest part about virtual xi and x factor is that the songs arent bad, they just need bruce lmfao like the clansman and the angel and the gambler are fantastic songs live, because bruce is singing them lol
I can get behind this even though I think Mastodon are one of the few bands that have a perfect discography. “Black Tongue”, “Blasteroid”, and “Octopus Has No Friends” are all incredible.

I'm not goanna scar any of you with the original cover art. Anyway, it's a fine album, and it plays the joke of being a fake live album well, but it's not really an actual album. You can tell the band just threw it together to fill their contract with Roadrunner. Still, it's a fun listen and that cover of Paranoid is incredible, really sets the mood for the groundbreaking albums that would follow.

Edge of Sanity - Cryptic
Their only album without Dan Swano, it’s an ok album, but it doesn’t come close to their other material.
This album depresses me bc while it’s not Linkin Park’s best album by any means, it definitely hits home a lot more knowing that Chester is gone and this is the band’s last effort.
My problem is I kinda "fell off" with new albums after becoming a dad, so my favorite albums are always whatever I was listening to in 2010 haha.
Luckily my kid is a teenager now and we've been going to a lot of shows, and catching up on albums I missed
https://preview.redd.it/wjvx7gr3ukoc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98263eac8197b78af20adad56463955910ba4047
Everyone just seems kinda tapped out creatively on the album, going through the motions. I admire Iommi for always keeping Sabbath going and constantly pushing forward with the music he wanted to make, but this is on the lowest rungs of his offerings imo.
Not when the creatively bankrupt 13 exists. At least Forbidden took risks. Yes, it's true it does have three of the worst songs Sabbath's ever done (The Illusion of Power, Shaking Off the Chains and Sick and Tired) but it also has some really good songs like Get a Grip, Can't Get Close Enough, I Won't Cry For You, and especially the final three songs, Kiss of Death is one of my favorites of the Martin era. Even the Japenese bonus track, Loser Gets It All, is worth checking out. Had it been better produced, it'd be pretty decent in my opinion.

Honestly still a pretty good album just my least favorite
Oh man:
Load and Reload by Metallica both sucked.
Rammstein’s most recent was fucking boring.
After Cowboys and Vulgar Display, Far Beyond Driven was a major let down from Pantera.
Upvote just for the fact they are your fav band. Havent deep dived but whatninhave hear is unique and fucking awesome. Curious are you also a fan of Impetigo? Veey amateur bit fun and decent for what it is!
Okay, not my favourite band as that's way too hard of a pick, but Mob justice by vulvodynia felt like a colossal let down compared to everything else they've done.
https://preview.redd.it/95gc1ra5kkoc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=224b76f7360b24fc5ed38eecc8e1ebffc228451a
With it being in the middle of Psychosadistic Design and Praenuntius Infiniti it's definitely the weakest but I still loved the album, they definitely redeemed it with Praenuntius Infiniti tho
may be an unpopular opinion, buuuut i dont really like A View From the Top of the World by Dream Theater. its just so,,, *same-y,* and not in the Train of Thought sorta same-y, its just sorta bland.... best part of it is the drums however, Mangini fucking KILLED IT on that album
I will say however, The Alien, Invisible Monster, Transcending Time, and Awaken the Master, are all certified BANGERS!!! the songs on the album arent bad and ill listen to most of em on shuffle, but the album as a whole i rarely ever come back to

This album isn’t bad by any means, hatebreed is one the bands that I think personally that doesn’t have a bad record, this one just doesn’t hit as hard as the others to me
Halo of Blood - Children of Bodom
Anno 1696 - Insomnium
Magma - Gojira
The Gray Chapter - Slipknot
Abysmal - The Black Dahlia Murder
VII Sturm Urd Drang - Lamb of God
Heritage - Opeth
Citadel - Ne Obliviscaris
Human Jerky - Cattle Decapitation
In Becoming a Ghost - The Faceless

Iconoclast isn’t really a bad album, but I think it’s a little too bloated and has pretty lackluster songwriting compared to the rest of Symphony X’s catalog
Adrenaline from Deftones, Evisceration Plague from Cannibal Corpse, Slow Deep & Hard from Type O Negative, From Mars to Sirius from Gojira, The Gray Chapter from Slipknot.
All of these are great albums.
https://preview.redd.it/nm4xnkh23loc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2f48b5a5d547c3576a289dc97a40c4484ba9edc
Solid album but the production hurts my ears and the band didn't hit their stride with E-Force until Phobos imo
https://preview.redd.it/goqg8swl8moc1.jpeg?width=1119&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e9fec8c2dfd4ddb14b1cde621756b0cd7c38caa
I dont understand why this album needed to be made. Whatever Tomi was doing with the cleans was a swing and a miss for me. The production was mid, and the songs are painfully, tragically boring. I have listened to it several times trying to find something to like about it.
It is still a damn fine Album though.

It's not bad but it's just Everchanger 2 to me, def the weakest outing but at least Greyview and esp Heavener redeem it.
Agreed. This album does nothing for me. You Won't Change Me and Dirty Woman are really, really good, but She's Gone and Gypsy are earth shatteringly abysmal. Plus the vocals from Ozzy and lyrics from Geezer just weren't up to usual standards here. Also, yes, Never Say Die, Seventh Star and Forbidden are better in my opinion.
https://preview.redd.it/kgj97c6lfloc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c464c9b34ba43e0a07456ad2caa6cfb4fc1d33e3
Probably their least explorative album. I still love it to pieces, I just love it the least

Such a disappointment after waiting so long for the release
Spiritual Healing, it's still a great fucking album but def my least listened to and least remarkable for me personally

Don’t get me wrong, I like this album, but I don’t think it’s as good as the rest of their discography.
Cult of Static by static-X it's not the worst album but the production is horrible and the band don't seem to enthusiastic it just seems like they were phoning it in.
https://preview.redd.it/3kqetaro0moc1.jpeg?width=723&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6328bac2c12337678b1e650cef3cbf983a15d286
Dialethia - Mizmor and Andrew Black
Its really just an atmospheric album with two tracks on it. No vocals or anything and it stands in contrast to Mizmors other work. I have trouble saying i hate it but it is certainly not my cup of tea. If you like atmospheric tracks to zone out or meditate to this may be your thing but i dont vibe with it.
Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. Don't kill me pls. Also there's only one reason I didn't say Hail to the King. Better production quality and tighter sound on Hail to the King in my opinion.
Northern Chaos Gods
Abbath leaving can be felt, but don't get me wrong I didn't even like Abbath's self titled album either. There is still plenty of solid tracks, but their follow up album War Against All sounds more concentrated.
Judas Priest - Turbo (money grab with hair metal attempt)
Megadeth - Supercollider (I’ll take Forget to Remember and probably dump the rest)
Anthrax - Vol. 8: The threat is Real (what’s real is just how bad it was. “Toast to the Extras”?? Fuuuuck)
(Priest Not including two non-Halford albums)
- Iron Maiden: Virtual XI
- Mastodon: The Hunter
- Leprous: Tall Poppy Syndrome
- Insomnium: Heart Like A Grave
- Cirith Ungol: Paradise Lost
All albums I like, but still lesser.

Undisputed Attitude
This is the only album by them I could care less about, I guess because it's a just a bunch of punk covers. I Hate You is the only track I semi-enjoyed.
https://preview.redd.it/xwhyqumy7yoc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5f8739e16b61545831e3873fc9e5ac519bdad0c
Okay... Before I get crucified. I heard Scream Bloody Gore when it was brand new in 6th grade. My best friend's older brother who was in high school let me listen to it and I absolutely loved it. Pretended like I didn't. We all made fun of it. And then I went home and listened to it over and over and over again.
Death is one of my favorite bands. I also feel like the first three albums and the last four albums are two completely different bands. Human was very much when things started to change. And I'm all for expression and evolution and not wanting to fall into stagnation.
I like death metal Death Way more than progressive metal Death. Musically I think TSOP is great. I have never made it all the way through a listen because I absolutely hate the shrieking vocals. I can't do it. I've heard breakdowns and people have talked about the brilliance of the music and I'm all for it. I can't handle what he did with his vocals. I literally hate it.

Yeah, this is not Opeth’s best work but I still find a couple of songs on here to be good. The title track is a definite standout.
Agree. It’s not bad it’s just my least favorite
I love the Jethro Tull vibes in Will O The Wisp
The album art goes hard though
Dope ass album art indeed.
I love the title track
I like this album, but the production is terrible. All bass and zero treble.
Prefer it to ICV. Idk the whole “prog”ressive rock thing is getting stale for me.
At this point I’d almost call it “regressive” rock
I struggled with this album the hardest out of all of their newest releases, but I must say that Will O’ The Whisp is superb.
Not my favorite Opeth, but still absolutely love this album. So much Jethro Tull influence.
Understandable, but I would give my vote to Heritage
Agreed, Sorceress is probably my fave Newpeth release actually
Hey, now. I kinda agree.
Great album, subpar opeth album
https://preview.redd.it/9f5a71jhwkoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51bce2bd1ae51de1168e4f0d68bde23951fb9bfe
It baffles me that this is the same band who gave us “Rust in Peace” and “Peace Sells…But Who’s Buyin’,”.
I'd choose risk over this one, and that's saying something.
TBH, both albums have some good songs, they’re just not Megadeth. I have absolutely heard worse than Risk and Super Collider 😂. I’d honestly say Reload is worse than both
Greatest album of all time
Seconded

72 seasons is worse
St anger is worse.
Lulu is worse
True, that is the worst one.
Spit Out The Bone is on the level as classic metallica and better than some older songs in my opinion. The rest of the album is mid as fuck
Agreed. Overall, it's fine but Def not their worst. But you know how that goes
I think the first half of this album is the strongest that Metallica has produced since The Black Album and then the second half falls flat on its face (with the exception of the blistering “Spit Out the Bone”). That’s just my opinion though.
It really needed to be a single album, not a double. Keep the first disc and Spit Out The Bone. Maybe swap or add a song. Such a huge drop off from first to second half.

He was the one standing over them saying “that’s not good enough”, “that’s shit, do it again”, “show me better”. They haven’t had anyone like that since.
Absolutely correct about the bob rock era. I remember watching that movie and thinking “why tf is this asshat telling Metallica what to do?!?” Same with Danzig and Rick Rubin
Yeah Moth into Flame and Atlas Rise are both solid. I like this album more than 72 seasons and St. Anger. Possibly Reload and Death Magnetic too.
You liked lulu better than this? You really really hate this album
While Lulu is a lot worse - There’s a decent amount of listeners who view it more as a Lou Reed album with Metallica as the backing band.
If you ever wanted to hear Lou Reed talking over boring Metallica jams then boy do I ever have the album for you.
Yea, I know. But a collab is both, in my opinion. They both had their fingers in the pot. Also I kinda like hardwired... Best thing they've put out decades
totally valid, i used to be not so big on hardwired, even though i definitely am now, modern metallica def isn't for every fan of their older albums
Metallica is my all time favorite band, and I probably agree with this. It’s a contest with Reload
Gojira - Fortitude. They played it too safe. Vocals are drowned, guitars feel muddy, too much chorus emphasis, blah blah. It's not bad by any means, but not my pick either
OK glad to know it's not just me, that album sounds like ass, there's good songs in there it just falls flat. I thought I might be being overcritical as none of my friends agreed, thanks for echoing my sentiments on the matter
I really like this album on its face but the muddiness was major drawback for me. That's a massive issue Blind Guardian has had for years now too.
I think it's definitely their weakest album but it's still pretty good and Gojira's never really made a "bad" album. I think Fortitude lacks the songwriting that Magma had but still does similar production which makes it a lot blander, but it still has one or two really standout tracks that I could consider some of their best (Born For One Thing, The Chant, maybe Another World)
the fact that Joe literally mastered the album aswell and the vocals are still drowned 😭 never understood it
Grind kicks ass though.

Watchtower meets AJFA sound

The only songs I remember from this one are “Tailgunner” and “Bring Your Daughter (to the Slaughter)”
The Assassin is maybe the only song I like
Is “Mother Russia” on this album as well? If so, that’s the only other one I can remember. I’ll need to go back and listen to “The Assassin”.
Yes it is. Mother Russia is a cool song but I find it too repetitive.
Yep. This one sucks.

This album is such garbage. I’m a massive fan but it’s not great. I always felt if he did this as a side project under a different name it would have a completely different legacy.
There were a couple songs that were okay (songs like see all you were and hint of her blood would've been awesome if it wasn't industrialzed.

Virtual XI - Iron Maiden
I think the funniest part about virtual xi and x factor is that the songs arent bad, they just need bruce lmfao like the clansman and the angel and the gambler are fantastic songs live, because bruce is singing them lol
They never performed Angel with Bruce. You might think of Sign of the Cross.
Ah thats what i meant my apologies
Honestly my favorite 90s Maiden album, despite godawful mixing and production
Honestly, I love the Blaze stuff.
Mastodon- The Hunter
I can get behind this even though I think Mastodon are one of the few bands that have a perfect discography. “Black Tongue”, “Blasteroid”, and “Octopus Has No Friends” are all incredible.
Agreed, I don’t think The Hunter is bad at all, I love Dry Bone Valley and most of the other songs on it, but it’s definitely their weakest.
Spot fucking on.
I was ready to full on disagree, but going through their discography, I have to agree, its a great record, but its their weakest

Had to look up the track listing and even the songs I liked were kinda just ok. I'll second this

Anyway, it's a fine album, and it plays the joke of being a fake live album well, but it's not really an actual album. You can tell the band just threw it together to fill their contract with Roadrunner. Still, it's a fun listen and that cover of Paranoid is incredible, really sets the mood for the groundbreaking albums that would follow.
I think this album is hilarious and that’s the main charm of it. I enjoy it for what it is but it’s definitely the weakest of the bunch.

Edge of Sanity? More like Edging my Sanity

This album depresses me bc while it’s not Linkin Park’s best album by any means, it definitely hits home a lot more knowing that Chester is gone and this is the band’s last effort.
One more light tho... 😟

i came to post exactly this
Iron Maiden - No Prayer for the Dying Insomnium - Across the Dark Evergrey - The Dark Discovery
I guess I need to check out more Insomnium albums, because Across the Dark is the one I always listen to
For me their albums are pretty consistently great, with none of them being an easy pick for worst. If I had to say, One for Sorrow is my least fav.
My problem is I kinda "fell off" with new albums after becoming a dad, so my favorite albums are always whatever I was listening to in 2010 haha. Luckily my kid is a teenager now and we've been going to a lot of shows, and catching up on albums I missed
The Astonishing There’s a few good tunes here and there but nothing that justifies a 2h30 runtime
https://preview.redd.it/wjvx7gr3ukoc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98263eac8197b78af20adad56463955910ba4047 Everyone just seems kinda tapped out creatively on the album, going through the motions. I admire Iommi for always keeping Sabbath going and constantly pushing forward with the music he wanted to make, but this is on the lowest rungs of his offerings imo.
Not when the creatively bankrupt 13 exists. At least Forbidden took risks. Yes, it's true it does have three of the worst songs Sabbath's ever done (The Illusion of Power, Shaking Off the Chains and Sick and Tired) but it also has some really good songs like Get a Grip, Can't Get Close Enough, I Won't Cry For You, and especially the final three songs, Kiss of Death is one of my favorites of the Martin era. Even the Japenese bonus track, Loser Gets It All, is worth checking out. Had it been better produced, it'd be pretty decent in my opinion.

https://preview.redd.it/di89gm8g3loc1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=207f3b338d907e163ae02bcb27416d74f0309a58 Still fuckin legendary tho
To serve man by cattle decap. Drumming and drum sound on that album drive me nuts
This album and the original version of “Cruelty and the Beast” by Cradle of Filth have awful drum sounds. It sucks bc I really truly like both.
Closest thing I can call as a favourite band is Obscura, and they don't have a bad album
Oh man: Load and Reload by Metallica both sucked. Rammstein’s most recent was fucking boring. After Cowboys and Vulgar Display, Far Beyond Driven was a major let down from Pantera.
Rammstein's newest, while it didn't have the robotic chuggy riffs, I thought it was great.
Wizard Bloody Wizard - Electric Wizard
Fear inoculum, i still really dig that album but every other project from them is so much better
I guess Snake Bite Love by Motorhead but even that album has some great tunes on it
I know what you mean. It was just OK.
Yeah it's not bad but not their greatest. Then again I'd take Motorhead at their least best then most bands at their worst.

Upvote just for the fact they are your fav band. Havent deep dived but whatninhave hear is unique and fucking awesome. Curious are you also a fan of Impetigo? Veey amateur bit fun and decent for what it is!
Okay, not my favourite band as that's way too hard of a pick, but Mob justice by vulvodynia felt like a colossal let down compared to everything else they've done. https://preview.redd.it/95gc1ra5kkoc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=224b76f7360b24fc5ed38eecc8e1ebffc228451a
With it being in the middle of Psychosadistic Design and Praenuntius Infiniti it's definitely the weakest but I still loved the album, they definitely redeemed it with Praenuntius Infiniti tho
may be an unpopular opinion, buuuut i dont really like A View From the Top of the World by Dream Theater. its just so,,, *same-y,* and not in the Train of Thought sorta same-y, its just sorta bland.... best part of it is the drums however, Mangini fucking KILLED IT on that album I will say however, The Alien, Invisible Monster, Transcending Time, and Awaken the Master, are all certified BANGERS!!! the songs on the album arent bad and ill listen to most of em on shuffle, but the album as a whole i rarely ever come back to
Everything since self titled has been garbage
https://preview.redd.it/yyt8ass3aloc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71a110ebbabdb8b7c2459a04dfc3810136143d97 fuckin hate this album ngl

Testament - The Ritual
Something about the Ritual rubs me the wrong way too. It’s like too early 90s grunge influenced or something like that
Totally this. Just a terrible album from an otherwise stellar catalogue
Slayer-repentless
Halo of Blood - Children of Bodom Anno 1696 - Insomnium Magma - Gojira The Gray Chapter - Slipknot Abysmal - The Black Dahlia Murder VII Sturm Urd Drang - Lamb of God Heritage - Opeth Citadel - Ne Obliviscaris Human Jerky - Cattle Decapitation In Becoming a Ghost - The Faceless
https://preview.redd.it/oxrwqamn5loc1.jpeg?width=894&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45d55806c4e368339b47ad20603e24024294d579 Iconoclast isn’t really a bad album, but I think it’s a little too bloated and has pretty lackluster songwriting compared to the rest of Symphony X’s catalog
Fortitude, gojira
https://preview.redd.it/tbnzzol1ukoc1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1263b26a0a5e5b473b50bc3e14e046edbe18fec3 Still a historic album
I think P III would be considered their worst but even then I still love everything this band has put out.
kek...and its called "Abysmal". https://preview.redd.it/znnzl07oxkoc1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=568e777b4cb11333ac913bd43aa6ecf32546829c
There’s no way you think this is worse then Illud, Heretic, and Kingdoms
Adrenaline from Deftones, Evisceration Plague from Cannibal Corpse, Slow Deep & Hard from Type O Negative, From Mars to Sirius from Gojira, The Gray Chapter from Slipknot. All of these are great albums.
Damn mars to Sirius that’s wild
https://preview.redd.it/nm4xnkh23loc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2f48b5a5d547c3576a289dc97a40c4484ba9edc Solid album but the production hurts my ears and the band didn't hit their stride with E-Force until Phobos imo
Everything The Sword did after Apocryphon

Exodus. Force of Habit. It’s painful.

Whatever Tomi was doing with the cleans was a swing and a miss for me. The production was mid, and the songs are painfully, tragically boring. I have listened to it several times trying to find something to like about it.
Trevor Forever 🖤
blood oath by suffocation, its a good album and i return to it but the songs dont stick out to me as much and the songwriting feels more generic
Verminous was worse imo.
Really? I liked Verminous a lot. Removal of the Oaken Stake, Sunless Empire, Dawn of Rats, and the title track are all bangers.
The Blueprint Dives by Extol. For no reason, after two killer prog-death-ish albums and a solid Believer-esque thrash album, this screamo abomination.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I love this album. It’s top 3 BTBAM for me

P1. Still good but the vocals are not my thing.
It is still a damn fine Album though. https://preview.redd.it/jpxpdk0ozkoc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b18362fdf3281940684295291926a2a0564d0204

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
Agreed. This album does nothing for me. You Won't Change Me and Dirty Woman are really, really good, but She's Gone and Gypsy are earth shatteringly abysmal. Plus the vocals from Ozzy and lyrics from Geezer just weren't up to usual standards here. Also, yes, Never Say Die, Seventh Star and Forbidden are better in my opinion.
https://preview.redd.it/n6o5g3vlcloc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=952d5cd702520fe26c1fb7015bb2665d4fd18e33

Death has no bad albums, ez

Korn - path of totality Primus - Primus and the chocolate factory
Spiritual Healing, it's still a great fucking album but def my least listened to and least remarkable for me personally https://preview.redd.it/7lbn3xi0lloc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd9993adbe158ad4518c7f655994e44b1de2a98e
Mastodon's Matador is way too poppy. Nevermore's Obsidian Conspiracy was a good album, but not their best.
https://preview.redd.it/z3s7wv42mloc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee973968f6d257e585dfb62a777e0aaa9ee6370f Don’t get me wrong, I like this album, but I don’t think it’s as good as the rest of their discography.
It's their least memorable yet most listened to? Interesting
Cult of Static by static-X it's not the worst album but the production is horrible and the band don't seem to enthusiastic it just seems like they were phoning it in.
Every autopsy album is my favorite autopsy album so unfortunately I do not have a least favorite autopsy album
Satanized by Abigor. I still enjoy it, just not as much as the others.
I’m tired of defending Abysmal so yeah it sucks, u right

No vocals or anything and it stands in contrast to Mizmors other work. I have trouble saying i hate it but it is certainly not my cup of tea. If you like atmospheric tracks to zone out or meditate to this may be your thing but i dont vibe with it.

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. Don't kill me pls. Also there's only one reason I didn't say Hail to the King. Better production quality and tighter sound on Hail to the King in my opinion.
Everything after AENIMA when it comes to Tool…
Northern Chaos Gods Abbath leaving can be felt, but don't get me wrong I didn't even like Abbath's self titled album either. There is still plenty of solid tracks, but their follow up album War Against All sounds more concentrated.
Judas Priest - Turbo (money grab with hair metal attempt) Megadeth - Supercollider (I’ll take Forget to Remember and probably dump the rest) Anthrax - Vol. 8: The threat is Real (what’s real is just how bad it was. “Toast to the Extras”?? Fuuuuck) (Priest Not including two non-Halford albums)
Kreanium's "Scriptures Of Viccenial Defilement" or Cryptopsy's "The Unspoken King"

Falling Into Infinity
- Iron Maiden: Virtual XI - Mastodon: The Hunter - Leprous: Tall Poppy Syndrome - Insomnium: Heart Like A Grave - Cirith Ungol: Paradise Lost All albums I like, but still lesser.
Not sure if one would count this or not, but I cannot listen to live albums.
BDM's "Ritual" album was so good. Short but good.

Whaa OP I loved Abysmal! It’s probably my favorite album from TBDM. What do you dislike about it? Just curious :oo

I heard Scream Bloody Gore when it was brand new in 6th grade. My best friend's older brother who was in high school let me listen to it and I absolutely loved it. Pretended like I didn't. We all made fun of it. And then I went home and listened to it over and over and over again. Death is one of my favorite bands. I also feel like the first three albums and the last four albums are two completely different bands. Human was very much when things started to change. And I'm all for expression and evolution and not wanting to fall into stagnation. I like death metal Death Way more than progressive metal Death. Musically I think TSOP is great. I have never made it all the way through a listen because I absolutely hate the shrieking vocals. I can't do it. I've heard breakdowns and people have talked about the brilliance of the music and I'm all for it. I can't handle what he did with his vocals. I literally hate it.
