100 Greatest Metal Albums (100-51)

READ BEFORE COMMENT

Criteria:
- greatness of albums
- music quality
- critical acclaim
- opinions of many people
- metal essence
- originality
- my humble opinion based on my knowledge and good taste in metal

Popularity, influence (and your opinion) aren’t important.

I tried to mix many genres and I think it works. Every album listed is amazing and special. You might be surprised, because I omitted (intentionally) some very popular and influential releases. It’s because I (and not only I) find them imperfect and very overrated. All in all, this list contains only great metal. I recommend ALL of these bands and albums. Enjoy it!

I made a little mistake, Candlemass is a Traditional Doom (not Death) Metal band.

    It’s all about …
    It’s all about personal opinion, I respect yours too ;) Death/black is not just screaming. There’s a lot of amazing musicians in death metal who can play drums, bass or guitar in a great way. Black is metal is usually very atmospheric. Atmosphere is what I like most in music, so black metal is krieg. Only vocals are something hard to get used to in both genres.

    i respect your …
    i respect your opinion, but it’s basically anything that’s screaming or anything like that that i really don’t like.

  17. 2bloodsucker2 says:

    Death and black …
    Death and black metal are awesome. Especially atmospheric, folk and technical subgenres. Much better than most of modern metal.

  18. tourdeforce17 says:

    ah, i think you …
    ah, i think you misunderstood me- when i say “anything after” i mean heavier stuff- so when you get to death/black/grindcore stuff i really don’t like it. some modern metal is great.

  19. 2bloodsucker2 says:

    Well, this is only …
    Well, this is only your opinion. Many people find music younger than old school thrash great.

  20. tourdeforce17 says:

    it’s great to see …
    it’s great to see you have such a broad range of taste (especially seeing how many different types of metal there are lol [stoner/pagan wtf??])
    unfortunately mine stops after old school thrash- anything after that just sounds horrible.
