New site? Maybe some day.
|
People have been tossing around this survey thing online, asking which CD's they love the most blah blah blah. I thought about it, and came up with a really insane list of CD's that made me go, "holy shit!" when I first heard them.
What's yours? |
|
If we have to physically own them: Slipknot - Vol 3. My first step in the door as far as really heavy stuff goes. Probably wouldn't have been a metalhead without it.
EDIT: Well now that my "list" seems too short, time to add more from my irl collection
Dir en grey - Withering To Death. Got me hooked on anything j-. Sigh, Galneryus, Amüza, Jenovavirus etc. are al excellent Japanese Metal bands I eventually found out about thanks to this heavily made-up bunch.
Behemoth - The Apostasy. My first legit Extreme Metal purchase made because I saw their picture online and thought their outfits were badass.
Misfits - Misfits(Plan 9? I dunno the real name) - About 20 tracks of blistering punk rawk. Sounds good.
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast. Nuff said. |
|
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Pantera - Great Southern Trendkill
Nirvana - Nevermind
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Down - NOLA
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Tool - AEnima
Batman (1989) - Soundtrack
Sepultura - Chaos AD
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000
and a fuckton more |

Skinless-Progression Toward Evil
No question. This is THE cd that made me go "holy shit I want to listen to more music like that." Ive still to this day listened to this cd from start to finish more times than any other cd ever. As a runner up though, someone gave me the Traumaside/Wasteform split which is what really got me into more of the local bands around here. I went through like a whole summer where this was the only CD in my car.
Then one day I walked into some random record store and thumbed through the catalog and had him order me Dying Fetus- Destroy the Opposition because I thought, well I don't see how I could not like this band with that name. And I also ordered Cryptopsy- Blasphemy Made Flesh, which is definitely not one of my better pickups but it's ok cause I bought None So Vile like a week later once someone played me Slit Your Guts. Still one of my all-time favorite songs.
Of course that was back when I actually bought CD's and before my entire CD collection was stolen. |

the 1 album that changed everything:
Metallica - Master of Puppets
when i heard that in 93 my entire universe was changed forever.
These are the ones that changed the rest:
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Type O Negative - October Rust
Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
Deicide - S/T
Tool - Aenima
Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of The Mutilated
Nile - Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock And Roll
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Dark Funeral - The Secrets of The Black Arts
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
recently the one album that has absolutely blown me away in a way no album has in many years is:
Comus - First Utterance
egad, how could i have forgotten one of the most powerful albums i've ever heard.
Godflesh - Streetcleaner |
|
Dissection - Storm of the lights bane has always been faithful to me.
like 8 years ago i was obsessed with the converge - petitioning/when forever comes crashing era didn't like anything as much after that but remember the rawness, same goes for Until your heart stops.
Blackwater park was definitely influential to my musical taste as well as The Jester race at one point.
|
|
Eternal Suffering - Drowning in Tragedy |
|
no he likes tool. im going to do this when i get back to my desk. |
|
|
the 1 album that changed everything:
Metallica - Master of Puppets
when i heard that in 93 my entire universe was changed forever.
|
YES. I first heard it in 94. my very first introduction to extreme art. i had a healthy dose of blues and classic rock before this thanks to my dad but this album was a wake-up call for me.
when i have time i'll make a list. |
|
Blah blah blah Seasons in the Abyss, Paranoid, all the usual prerequisite works of awesome. Nobody wants to read another list.
I think maybe the first album I ever came across that really made me wonder just what was going on in the world as far as music was Soundgarden - Superunknown. It was like the 2nd CD I ever bought, and like everybody else I picked it up because the Black Hole Sun video was sooo keWl dUd3. And then I heard the song 4th of July, which is just such a heavy dark song even for a band with Chris Cornell in it, and suddenly that record became about that song instead of their radio hits. Connect the dots from there and you end up with a 28 year old who wants to hear every obscure band he can find, and worship bands that no one else likes for the sole satisfaction that no one else likes them. |
|
The first one was when I was 10:
Metallica - And Justice For All
Then came the 'classics' from when I was a young lad:
Megadeth - Peace Sells
Discharge - Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing
Iced Earth - Dark Saga/Something Wicked
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Judas Priest - British Steel/Painkiller/Ram it Down
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Misfits - Walk Among Us/Earth AD
Motorhead - Bomber
...And along came the more extreme stuff when I hit my teenage years, got my first introduction to the local scene too:
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Converge - Caring and Killing
Carcass - Heartwork/Necroticism
Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops
Overcast - Fight Ambition to Kill
In Flames - Whoracle/Colony
Glassjaw - Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Silence
Cannibal Corpse - Butchered/Tomb/Vile
Cryptopsy - None So Vile/Whisper Supremacy
Shadows Fall - Somber Eyes to the Sky/Of One Blood
Deftones - Adrenaline/Around the Fur/White Pony
Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition
Eighteen Visions - Until the Ink Runs Out
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Bloodlet - The Seraphim Fall
Poison the Well - Opposite of December
Internal Bleeding - Driven to Conquer
Stuff in the last 10 years that've really gotten to me:
Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients
Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde
Glassjaw - Worship & Tribute
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Anata - The Conductor's Departure
Cynic - Traced in Air
Malignancy - Cross Species Transmutation

Madness: Madness
Men At Work |

My dad likes to tell this story - when I was like 5 or 6 I got a Walkman with a bunch of Disney tapes from my mom for Christmas. After a few weeks of listening to "Under The Sea" on loop I apparently wandered up to him and asked, "Daddy, do you have any heavy metal?" So he gave me VH - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Boston - S/T on tape and thus began my descent.
- Drudkh - Songs of Grief & Suffering
- my dad's Iron Maiden collection on vinyl
- Carcass - Heartwork
- Einsturzende Neubauten - Haus der Luge
- I think I had The Wall playing on infinite loop for a few of my teenage years
- whichever Dead Kennedys album I got my hands on first
- Shellac - 1000 Hurts
- Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
- Type O Negative - Slow Deep & Hard
- Deicide - Once Upon The Cross, simply because it was the first album I was forbidden from owning (I was like 10 when it came out) and that made me want it that much more, and cherish it once I had it.

The Downward Spiral is too cult for you buddy.
Your list would probably include Horna, even though you don't speak a word of Finnish. |
|
|
i have a gathering unplugged cd. i REALLY love her voice but the songs are straight out boring. |
the live one is a little more laid back than their old stuff, you should check out "Nighttime Birds" |

cool cool
.. also alex is having difficulty reaching you regarding band type business |
|
The fuck does it matter if I speak finnish or not |
|
I think before you speak Finnish, you should learn how to speak English properly. |
|
I refuse to participate in this useless facebook poll. There's too many albums to list and for different reasons. |
|
Eh fuck it, considering there's 50 threads like this before I'll just copy and paste, even though this list is somewhat generic.
|
question is literally impossible to answer due to so many albums and emotions captured, but here are some in no particular order:
1.) King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (one of the greatest releases in musical history)
2.) Menhir - Thuringia (I love the atmosphere/guitar leads on this album. inspired me to no end)
3.) Alice in Chains - Dirt (overplayed, yet underplayed)
4.) Dissection - The Somberlain (huge impact on my song writing)
5.) Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth (gritty brutal death that makes me want to kill)
6.) Ulver - Bergtatt (I routinely spin this everytime summer starts, not sure why)
7.) Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (one of the best cool jazz albums ever)
8.) Neil Young (w/crazy horse) - Zuma (cortez the killer for the win)
9.) Slayer - Reign in Blood (Raining Blood is my cellphone ring for a reason)
10.)Alcest - Le Secret (excellent atmosphere and emotion captured)
11.)Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (powerful record)
12.)Metallica - Master of Puppets (major musical inspiration)
13.)Nirvana - Nevermind (so overplayed back then, but now when I listen I flashback to 1991 and playing baseball and shit)
14.)Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops (had a huge impact on me for quite sometime)
15.)SOD - Speak English or Die (such a classic.. also routinely/superstitiously listened to this before my high school basketball games to pump me up)
16.)Amon Amarth - Once Sent from the Golden Hall (I kind of wish AA still sounded like this..)
17.)Emperor - Anthems (wall of sound which infinitely inspired me on keys and guitar)
18.) Drudkh - Autumn Aurora (captures autumn on a record)
19.) In Flames - Subterranean (best IF in my opinion)
20.) Dark Angel - Darkness Descends (this is what thrash SHOULD be)
21.) Sodom - Persecution Mania ('nuff said)
22.) Hypocrisy - s/t (I like all eras of this band but this non-DM album stood out to me for some reason)
23.) Opeth - Orchid/MorningRise (along with old Ulver, major influence on my acoustic playing)
24.) Depeche Mode - Violator (enjoy the fucking silence)
25.) Mouse on Mars - Idiology
This list could go on for ages but I'll cut it short. I didn't even get that deep into the metal albums, electronic, video game soundtracks, movie soundtracks, classic rock, old country, etc.
Honestly, this question is retarded. I've got at least 1000 albums that had an impact on me in one way or another.
|
|
|
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Skepticism - Lead and Aether
|
|
adding:
Decapitated - Demo
heard this right before winds of creation came out, at the time the average age of the band was 14. blew me the fuck away, first time i was inspired to write more crazy tech shit. |
|
Beelze is in love with Tom. |
|
I'll keep this short and stick to what I listened to in my formative years:
The Meatmen - We're the Meatmen and You Suck
Minor Threat - Minor Threat
Dead Kennedys - Bedtime for Democracy
Fear - The Record
Sheer Terror - Just Can't Hate Enough
Killing Time - Brightside
The Exploited - Let's Start a War
|

Only Meatmen Stomp is real. |
|
i don't think i've ever been more disappointed by an album in my entire life. |

If Meshuggah changed your life you are amazingly even more false than Wren. |

Fuckin' A right, you are. |
|
life-changing? hell no. made me look at drums from a different perspective? yes. awesome while not sober? yes. |

Only listening to music when not out of your mind on low grade whisky is false. |

however if we're going to talk meshuggah, contradictions collapse is the realest. |
|
|
If Meshuggah changed your life you are amazingly even more false than Wren. |
Well, I don't really care for Meshuggah much so does that make me less false than me? |
|
no, that just makes me the most false.

Of course, but I was naming two albums that I had just recently listened to, that have had a lasting impression on me. I could have also mentioned Evoken - Quietus. |
|
not in order:
Green Day - Dookie (first rock album I got into, before that, I just listened to anything my mom happened to have on the radio)
Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire (first aggressive album I got into)
Metallica - ...And Justice For All (first real metal album I got into)

Earth Crisis - Gomorrah's Season Ends (got me into hardcore)
Hatebreed - Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire (also got me into hardcore)

Deftones - White Pony (taught me an album doesn't have to be heavy all the time to be good)
