Greatest gosh darn album in the whole flingin' flangin' universe.

[Mcupobob]

I'm going with Jonathan Coultons thing of week three. Some of his funniest and deepest songs on there not to mention a cover version of Famous Blue Raincoat which is a song by Leonard Cohen a man whos music and voice is so powerful and magical that he could bring the worlds toughest man to tears.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

A bit of Streelight Manifesto never goes amiss. Somewhere in The Between will do nicely. Athough considering the percentage of metal fans hee, let's see how this goes down... = ]


Perhaps not my favourite album EVAR, but definitely the one that encourages the least song skips when it plays on my ipod.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Argh. That's difficult.

Mine is Crack the Skye by Mastodon cause it's just oh so great


Post a track off the album for those of us who have never heard of said album aswell.

HUG ME

It's between Crack The Skye...

Spoiler: Fear Of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree...

There's not a single bad track on the album, yeah, the songs are long, but they're all utterly mind-blowing.

Spoiler: ...and Demanufacture by Fear Factory.

Has some of the most incredible melodies I've ever heard.

It Hates you by He Is Legend

Okay how do I do this?

 

[Ironboot]

It's either The Window Purpose by Wolverine or Still by... Wolverine. They're both beautiful.

Spoiler: The Window Purpose

Spoiler: Still

 

[Bravo Company]

Very hard pick but I have to say Aenema from Tool

 

[MonkeySlayer]

Yngwie Malmsteen - Alchemy

Actually anything by Yngwie really, he's the reason I started playing the guitar.

Take it Easy

 

[Quid Plura]

Metropolis, Pt.2 - Dream Theater

 

[CincoDeMayo]

Fear of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree is freakin' awesome, I can't decide if it's my favorite though.

 

[bodyguarddied]

Its a tie for me, between Witness by blessthefall and A New Era of Corruption by Whitechapel.

Whitechapel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7orH9R88Js (Reprogrammed to Hate)

 

[ANImaniac89]

Nine Inch Nails - the Downward Spiral
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Pink Floyd - The Wall
White Zombie - Astro-Creep:2000

 

[Paddin]

Hmm.. a tough tie between:

Spoiler: Absolution - Muse

OR

Spoiler: In Your Honour - Foo Fighters

Absolution - Muse


I mean, this song is fucking brilliant.

You have very good taste, my friend.

The System has Failed by Megadeth

Hello Escapist,

What is your favourite album ever

Done before, but whatever.

Also, for all those fuddy-duddy 'oh there can never be a best album cause nobody can agree on anything wah wah wah' people, this is YOUR PERSONAL FAVOURITE ALBUM!!

Mine is Crack the Skye by Mastodon cause it's just oh so great


Post a track off the album for those of us who have never heard of said album aswell.

I love you

 

[Frequen-Z]

Right now it's Netsky's self entitled

Spoiler: Netsky - Iron Heart + Mellow

But long term, over the years, the one album I always keep coming back to is Celldweller's self entitled

Spoiler: Celldweller - Own Little Word + One Good reason

 

[Laserbeam Ostrich]

My favorite album as of right now is probably The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse

 

[Ickorus]

It's an impossibly difficult choice for me since I love a lot of the bands I listen to equally but at the moment I think Long Distance Calling's 'Avoid the Light' pushes itself to the head of the pack.


Yes that is the album cover, looks awesome doesn't it.

 

[AMMO Kid]

Probably "Messengers" by August Burns Red.

Crack the Skye was good too.

 

[technoted]

Alice in Chains Dirt.

 

[issacization]

Armored Saint - Symbol of Salvation (bet im just about the only person on this site who knows who they are)


Reign of fire



EDIT:
actually March of the saint and La Razza albums could probably compete with SoS.
