Can we get a FAVORITE ALBUMS roll call going? - eviltoast

I don’t recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10… whatever’s easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It’ll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone’s catalog is better, etc.

I’ll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

    Recent favourites, in no particular order:

    Prog or adjacent : The ocean - Pelagial

    Kglw - petrodragonic apocalypse (was my album of the year last year and one of the most fun albums I’ve heard in a long time. Felt like listening to painkiller or master of puppets for the first time. Legit top 10 all time album for me, I think)

    Katatonia - the fall of hearts

    Haken - affinity

    Pain of salvation - in the passing light of day (or remedy lane or perfect element)

    Soen - Lotus

    Opeth - Ghost reveries (or any of the preceding albums, really)

    Leprous - the congregation

    Mastodon - crack the skye (or leviathan or emperor of sand)

    Doom and adjacent: Warning - watching from a distance

    Yob - our raw heart

    My dying bride - feel the misery

    Anathema - judgement

    High on fire - death is this communion

    Bongripper - Satan worshipping doom

    Black and adjacent: Agalloch - the mountain

    Negură bunget - virstele pamintilui (or OM)

    Blackbraid - Blackbraid I or II

    Bucovina - Sub stele (folk metal, really)

    Power metal and such:

    Dragony - viribus unitis

    Blind Guardian - nightfall in middle earth (altho most of their stuff is awesome)

    Adamantis - Far flung realm

    Sellsword - unto the breach

    Ominous Glory - the elven dream

    And maaaaany more that would take me ages to list. If anyone vibes with any of the lists and wants more, hit me up, would be happy to talk more.
