Korn - Issues
80

The last great KoRn album

Highlight(s): Make Me Bad, Falling Away From Me, Somebody Someone, Trash, 4U, Let's Get This Party Started, Hey Daddy

Korn - Life Is Peachy
61

The second Korn album which imo is a really really mixed bag, it has some of their most angry songs, but also some of their most immature songs. ADIDAS chorus has no right to be so catchy.

ALLL DAYYY I DREAM ABOUUUUT SEXXXX ALLL DAY I DREAM ABOUT FUUUUCKINNNN

Slipknot - The End, So Far
30

In the words of BradTasteInMusic, it's a red headphones. Dogshit.

Eminem - Curtain Call: The Hits
85

Can't believe this comp opens with Fack

Mütiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood
88

Seems like a lot of people on this site got filtered by this one. So fucking good.

OutKast - ATLiens
100

OutKast's best full length.

Highlight(s): ATLiens, Wheelz of Steel, Elevators, Babylon, Mainstream, Decatur Psalm, 13th Floor / Growing Old

Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
90

Underrated gem of the mid 2000s UK indie rock scene.

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
91

Best post-punk revival / indie rock album of the mid 2000s. Akin to Interpol, bit of Blur and Joy Division and some Pixies for good measure. Shits all over anything by Arctic Monkeys.

Highlight(s): Like Eating Glass, Helicopter, Positive Tension, Banquet, Blue Light, This Modern Love, So Here We Are.

While I'm more of a fan of Blackheim's side project Diabolic Masquerade, this album from Katatonia is an absolute masterpiece of 1990s death-doom and gothic metal. The clean vocals are gorgeous, the production is great, everything is coated in the perfect amount of reverb, making the album very atmospheric. The riffing and guitar work is fantastic and catchy, the outro of "12" and the main riff of "Brave" stuck in my head the first time I listened to this. The more straight ... read more

King Diamond - "Them"
97

The only king i recognise.

Handful Of Hate - Hierarchy 1999
59

Could have done without the porn samples and cheeks being clapped on the interlude "Master's Pleasure"...

Handful Of Hate - Qliphothic Supremacy
75

Melodic black metal ala Cradle of Filth with a bit more grit to the production.

Highlight(s): Erection-Delightful Rape of the Stellar Virginity (Dripping the Primordial Erotic Sperm Flow), Nuit-Lustful Receptacle of Erected Power, Urdhva Kundali

Morbid Angel - Covenant
82

BOW TO ME FAITHFULLLY, BOW TO ME SPLENDIDLLLLYY

HIM - Razorblade Romance

If you can't embrace the cheese, you will not get lost in the cheese.

Highlight(s): Poison Girl, Join Me In Death, Right Here in my Arms, Gone With The Sin, Bury me deep inside your heart

Lurker of Chalice - Lurker of Chalice
80

Really dissonant, brooding and dread inducing atmosphere. You can tell this album was written after the heartbreak of Jef Whitehead's late-girlfriend dying.

Ancient Wisdom - For Snow Covered the Northland
82

Mid tempo atmospheric black metal affair, some really somber and atmospheric moments here and there and occasional meaty riffs. Really good. Wish it wasn't such a rare album.

Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
94

That ugly riff at the end of Kathaarian Life Code is so morbid, grim and otherworldly sounding. Love love love this album.

Darkthrone - Total Death
80

I think it's unfair that critics panned this album as being uninspired. Sure from a production standpoint the album isn't exactly invigorating in the same way as A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under A Funeral Moon and Transilvanian Hunger are, and part of that is due to the really dull sounding guitar tones, but the riffs and songwriting is actually very solid on this album. Had this album had a more inspired production and fleshed out sound with punchier drums and nastier guitar tones, this ... read more

Windir - Arntor
98

The outro to "The Longing (Saknet)" gave me mega goosebumps the first time i heard it, the synth work, the agonising screams and sorrowful melodies are so beautiful, and the guitar solo is just majestic. One of my favourite albums of all time.
